Tiny Hearts Project and Mindful Sonography were founded in Austin, Texas in 2016 by Dr. Celeste Sheppard to address the urgent need to improve prenatal detection of congenital heart disease. 

Our educational interventions are developed and presented by world-renowned ultrasound educators and hosted in partnership with a wide range of institutions, schools and sonography practices across the United States. To date, we’ve trained more than 1,000 clinicians how to scan the fetal heart with confidence.
