Music by the elements

The WOMB Music Project is a collective creation of music inspired by themes of motherhood, womanhood, and resilience, guided by the elements of water, fire, earth, air, and spirit.

The first six tracks have already been completed, and we are fundraising for the remaining eight tracks.

You can listen to our progress thus far using the Bandcamp links provided here.

Please consider contributing to our mission. All proceeds go to compensate the talented artists, many of whom are mothers, who created these tracks.

Womb trauma occurs on a mass scale, be it through sexual assault, abortion or pregnancy loss, the loss of a child (at any age), or experiencing a traumatic birth. WOMB is a musical project created by women and mothers to help each other heal and come together in the name of compassion. A diverse and talented group of artists and mothers will be releasing singles that tell their unique birth story through a sonic experience.

WOMB combines the therapeutic frequencies, soulful vocals, and earth inspired sounds to support the journey of motherhood and postpartum healing. The music is intended to be used in medical, healing, and therapeutic environments for all who have and all who come from the WOMB.


Music, when created with intention, holds the power to heal.
By uplifting and supporting the great creators of our world—women and mothers—we nurture their well-being and, in turn, the well-being of all children. And when we heal children, we heal the world.
