Welcome to The Rhythm Tree

Do you have a loved one who lights up when they hear music? Are you looking for something that will increase their quality of life and help them learn, grow and express themselves? My name is Ryan Judd and I help improve the lives and abilities of individuals with special needs by creating a musical, fun and motivating atmosphere for them to thrive in.

I have a master's degree in psychology and music therapy from one of the top contemplative education schools in the country. I am a board certified music therapist and have been specializing in helping people with special needs for more than 16 years. The results I've achieved from integrating music and therapy are powerful and my work has even been featured on ABC World News Tonight and other national news outlets.

My mission is to elevate individuals with special needs to new heights developmentally, emotionally and expressively.

Award-Winning Albums for Relaxation and Sleep

I also compose and produce soothing instrumental guitar music and nature sound albums for relaxation and sleep. These albums have helped thousands of people struggling with stress, anxiety and insomnia and they have over 600 reviews with an average rating of 4.9 stars on Amazon. My work is based on research that demonstrates the positive effects of music and sound on sleep and anxiety. My unique background as a music therapist and an accomplished fingerstyle guitarist has given me the tools to help people through the power of music and sound. You can follow me on Spotify, and listen to these albums at www.RestfulSounds.com,  iTunes, Amazon, Pandora or GooglePlay.
