Regulation Beats™: Fostering Peace Through Production
The Roots
Hi, my name is Noah Perales! I am an Occupational Therapy Assistant and the owner/operator/creator of Regulation Beats™. I have been in the therapy field since 2018 as both a Registered Behavior Technician and OTA. I have experience in school-based, inpatient, residential treatment, and outpatient clinic settings, most of which have related to pediatrics. While working with clients across all these areas, I noticed that emotions were a foundational influence on their lives. I was naturally drawn in by this unique facet of human experience and am fortunate to share my contribution to the field!
An Opportunity to Grow Through Music
I personally experienced the power of music production in the winter of 2022 when I simultaneously endured moving cities, switching jobs, and ending a long-term relationship. To say the least, it was a major period of adjustment. I faced struggles with loneliness, fear, anxiety, uncertainty, confusion, and depression. One constant in my life was the Music Production and Recording Arts Program I was finishing up at Remington College in Nashville, TN. Per this schooling and my passion for what I was learning, I sat down every day to play, mix, and/or listen to some piece of music. As these threads of experience ran parallel to each other I began to feel how I was healing and adapting through the art I was making. It calmed me in the moment, buffered my engagement with tough ideas, and timestamped my emotional state for different parts of my journey. It was such a profound tool for me that I knew I had to bring in into the clinic to share with my clients.
