About My Mission

Based on founder’s Kiersten own heart disease diagnosis and experience across multiple hospitalizations, Heartfelt Harmonies donates therapeutic music kits to pediatric hospitals across the United States to help support recovery and reduce stress.

Science has proven, through multiple studies, that music not only eases the mental component of recovery but it can also improve a patient’s physical recovery. “In controlled clinical trials of people having colonoscopies, cardiac angiography, and knee surgery, those who listened to music before their procedure had reduced anxiety and a reduced need for sedatives. Those who listened to music in the operating room reported less discomfort during their procedure. Hearing music in the recovery room lowered the use of opioid painkillers.” (Harvard Health Publishing)

My mission is to use this science in real life to help children in hospitals everywhere. I provide easy access to music by donating sets of earbuds and a card with a Spotify code linking to a customized playlist of relaxing music. These items provide easy access to music that can aid recovery, calm nerves, and improve a patient’s well-being.

Studies have found that listening to music before surgery can reduce anxiety, and post-surgery may ease pain and the need for pain medication. Many hospitals recommend music as an additional clinical tool to augment the external rehabilitation process.

Help me by providing a donation that will support our mission and aid children in hospitals everywhere by supporting and aiding their journey to recovery.
