Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

Leah and Mardi connected through their mutual love of drumming. They started a drum circle in the basement of a local outreach high school and soon after, the therapeutic benefits began to emerge. This inspired them to seek formal training and launch Livin' in Rhythm Therapeutic Drum Circles within their Calgary community.
