In Memory of Zia

In 2018, Healing in Harmony was born as a labour of love. Our mission is to provide every sick child an equal opportunity to feel and experience joy through the power of play. Regardless of a child’s medical complexity, art is alway available; whether it is in the form of seeing, hearing or making, every child is given the chance to discover the depth and breadth of their own creativity.

Healing in Harmony directly supports the Child Life Department at SickKids Hospital. The Child Life Program focuses on the social and emotional impact of illness and hospitalization by  fostering creative engagement through therapeutic relationships using music, art and play. Child Life Specialists are superheroes in their own right - they help infants, children, youth and families cope with the stress and uncertainty of acute and chronic illness, injury, trauma, disability, loss and bereavement. Their role is to help create a more positive hospital experience using play as a tool for expression, socialization, and learning.

Thank you to our family and friends who have joined us on this mission and continue to follow us along the journey. We’re so grateful for your continued support.

With love, Jaclyn
