Adding Heart To Her Work: Coon Rapids Music Therapist Innovates with HeartSync Music

COON RAPIDS, MN – Jillian Kirkeide, a board-certified music therapist residing in Coon Rapids, is introducing a deeply personal and innovative approach to her practice through her new private venture, HeartSync Music. As CTN's Steve Antus reported, Kirkeide is creating a unique "soundtrack" for her clients by integrating their own heartbeats into their favorite songs, aiming to provide profound therapeutic experiences.

At HeartSync Music, Kirkeide utilizes a digital stethoscope to capture a person's individual heartbeat. This recording is then seamlessly mixed with a song of their choosing, creating a truly unique and meaningful piece of music. Kirkeide describes hearing one's own heartbeat integrated with significant music as a powerful and impactful experience for her clients.

"The idea is to give people their own heartbeat mixed to a song that means something to them," Kirkeide explained, highlighting the personalized nature of HeartSync Music.

While the concept of using heartbeat recordings in a therapeutic context has roots in hospice care, Kirkeide's goal with HeartSync Music is to expand access to this powerful tool beyond traditional settings. She envisions offering this unique service to a wider range of individuals seeking emotional connection, solace, or a deeper understanding of themselves through music.

Kirkeide's innovative blend of technology and therapy underscores the evolving landscape of music therapy, where personalized approaches are increasingly enhancing the well-being of individuals. Her work with HeartSync Music is set to add a new dimension to how music can heal and connect, right here in Coon Rapids.
