There are many reasons why you may not be receiving our emails. The most common is that our email is ending up in your bulk mail/Spam folder or is incorrectly blocked by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Make sure our email address(es) are added to your address book. Most of our emails come from “arrow@heartdrumbeat.com” or “info@heartdrumbeat.com.”
