The Addictions Coach teams up with The Rock Box to tackle Addiction through the Art of Music

MIAMI - Aug. 4, 2016 - PRLog -- Dr. Cali Estes, of The Addictions Coach, has teamed up with award winning drummer, Angel Bartolotta (founder/drummer of Team Cybergeist, formerly of Dope, Genitorturers and more) to combine services to offer an all-encompassing experience for the client in addiction recovery. Everyone knows that music heals and music pings the brain in positive ways that allow the brain to flood with Dopamine (similar to drugs and alcohol) to offer a feel good experience with the body's own natural chemicals. It was a natural progression for these two industry trailblazers to team up to offer the ultimate experience.

Dr. Cali Estes has worked with some of the top musicians in the world, helping them get and stay sober. She has traveled and worked on set, at venues, in hotel rooms and even on the tour buses with her clients. She is known as the celebrity addictions coach and believes that music is the healing component in addiction.

"We all know the power of music to boost mood when it naturally lifts the serotonin and dopamine connections in the brain, it helps to alleviate some of the issues of depression, addiction to drugs/alcohol/food etc. and boosts self-esteem,"Dr. Estes said. "I have utilized drumming in my coaching and therapy sessions for years and found how music helps the addicted brain heal and refocus. I saw domestic violence and low self-esteem clients flourish when we played music, sang and created a safe environment to learn and express themselves. Then I went on tour with a famous rock and roll band and I watched it firsthand."

Angel Bartolotta of The Rock Box, is an award winning drummer that has dedicated his whole life to the art of making music. With over 20 years of drumming experience, world touring and major studio sessions under his belt, Angel is also a devoted teacher. The Rock Box is Angel's way of giving back to the local community where his music journey began, giving aspiring musicians a chance to experience the real world of music. It is his dream to create a comfortable, collaborative music venue that encourages musicians to learn, grow, and engage their talent with local like-minded individuals.

It's so much more than a music school"Angel says. "We give people the opportunity to learn an instrument, form a band, perform on stage, record an album, and everything else that we dreamed about as kids. We're laying it all out on the table and putting these opportunities right into the hands of our students."

A student can come and learn how to play an instrument, record themselves, meet other musicians and be in a support environment and learn how to stay sober all in one week of Addiction Music Camp. Once Camp is over, a student can continue their learning process of music to stay sober and be connected in the community.

The Rock Box will be opening in September. Music Addiction Camp enrollment will begin in the fall.  Call today to get started. Angel can be reached at 813.695.0555 and Dr. Estes at 1.800.706.0318.
