Our story began in 2013 as a vision to transform the experience of hospital care for babies, families and healthcare professionals; to expand the scope of care to embrace our shared humanity and heal the hurt that often goes unnoticed in the fast-paced, technologically oriented business of healthcare.

Together separately; separately together

Mary Coughlin • Jun 01, 2022


This past weekend Dan and I got to see the Eagles LIVE in concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The tickets were a surprise gift from my son. We had flown out to Vegas to attend the high school graduation ceremony of my eldest granddaughter. The timing coincided with our wedding anniversary which was the reason for the surprise. The concert was AMAZING!! 




In addition to the Eagles band members there was a full orchestra backing them up. The music was INSANE (in a good way) and the video display and light show SUPERB. Intermittently and super artistically images of the orchestra playing passionately was superimposed on the stage backdrop. I was immediately struck by the image of the individual musicians playing in concert with each other.


They played together separately and separately together.


The paradoxical non-duality of what I was experiencing was profound. After all, what is an orchestra without its instrumental ensemble? What is a band without its members? What is a singer-songwriter without his/her voice; without an audience?


What are we without each other?

How contagious are you?

By Mary Coughlin • 03 May, 2024
The other day a bird flew into my daughters house. Her first reaction was to scream! Rapid fire thoughts started racing through her head - what the heck is a bird doing in the house? How am I going to get it out? It better not get near my babies! As she tried to shoo the bird towards the window to get it to leave, she turned to her 5-year old and asked if he was scared and he screamed back at her "I wasn't scared until you started screaming".

Fix it or Feel it?

By Mary Coughlin • 12 Apr, 2024
Have you ever watched the movie Wreck It Ralph? It's an animated movie where Ralph gets fed up being the 'bad guy', losing to 'good-guy' Fix-it Felix and heads off on a quest to prove he has what it takes to be a hero.  Felix is a handyman with a magical hammer and anything he touches with his hammer is miraculously repaired. You may be wondering why I am writing about a kids movie. Well, it's because fixing things feels so rewarding, right? I absolutely LOVE the dopamine rush I get when I can fix something for somebody, especially when that something is for someone who seems especially vulnerable (although oftentimes, that's not necessarily a requirement).

Pronouns Matter

By Mary Coughlin • 16 Oct, 2023
Pronouns matter because they are a fundamental aspect of language and communication. Pronouns reflect not just grammatical structure but also social and cultural values. Their significance goes much deeper than mere linguistic convenience. They hold the power to affirm identity and foster inclusivity. Pronouns validate our sense of self while creating a sense of belonging and acceptance.
