Because Some Heartbeats Should Never Be Forgotten
Whether celebrating a new life or honoring a loved one, heartbeat songs create a lasting reminder of the connections that shape our lives
How the Process Works
Creating a one-of-a-kind Amplified Cardiopulmonary Recording (ACRP), often called a "heartbeat song," begins with scheduling a visit with a Board-Certified Music Therapist.
Using a non-invasive digital stethoscope, the therapist records the heartbeat in less than one minute. Heartbeat recordings can be obtained from individuals of all ages, and even beloved pets.
The recording is then professionally edited to enhance sound quality and create a clear, lasting keepsake.
Next, the therapist will guide you through the legacy creation process by either:
Writing and recording an original song personalized to your story, or
Incorporating the heartbeat recording into a meaningful pre-recorded song of your choice
Once complete, the heartbeat recording and song are professionally produced and delivered according to your preferred format.
