This qualitative study aimed to explore how music therapy can offer emotional support to mothers in the postpartum phase. Four self-referred mothers participated in seven group music therapy sessions. Sources of data included four semi-structured individual interviews and ten excerpts from videos of the music therapy sessions. Thematic analysis of the interview transcripts and thick descriptions was undertaken. Four themes were developed: (i) Music therapy afforded nurturing of the self; (ii) Music therapy afforded empathic connections and experiences; (iii) Music therapy stimulated inner resourcefulness; (iv) Music therapy helped to restore emotional equilibrium in the new role as a mother. Findings aligned with existing literature on music therapy with postpartum clients and may be integrated with other research efforts on how to provide a continuum of care to postpartum mothers.
