Heartbeat Projects
Heartbeat recordings and heart songs that last beyond a lifetime.
Our Heartbeat Projects help families create timeless keepsakes built around the most personal sound—the heartbeat. Whether captured in-utero with a doppler during pregnancy, recorded for infants and toddlers, cherished by parents and grandparents, or preserved in palliative and hospice care, these recordings become meaningful treasures across every stage of life.
From heartbeat bears to custom HeartSongs, our keepsakes are designed to honor your person—whoever they are, wherever you are in your journey. Families can choose in-person recording, share an existing hospital or home doppler recording, or ask us to transform a heartbeat into a one-of-a-kind musical legacy.
Our Process
-
Consultation – Speak with a board-certified music therapist to discuss your vision and select the keepsakes that best fit your family.
-
Capture or Share a Recording – We’ll record your loved one’s heartbeat in-utero with doppler, in-person with our stethoscope device, or use an existing hospital/home recording.
-
Bring the Heartbeat to Life – Choose from editing, custom HeartSong creation, or heartbeat bear production (with options for multiple bears so each family member has a piece to hold).
-
Delivery – Receive your keepsakes digitally, physically, or both—crafted with care to last for generations.
