Bringing hospitality to the hospital.
The Waiting Pause creates warm moments for the people inside a hospital's walls. We take the care you would find at a five-star hotel and place it where it is needed most: in waiting rooms, scan suites and patient rooms.
Patients
Something soft to hold, to do, to wear, when the day feels out of their hands.
Families
A gentle way to pass the long hours of waiting for news of someone they love.
Caregivers
Calmer rooms and a small moment of their own, in the middle of demanding shifts.
What we bring
Coloring cards
For waiting roomsDot-by-letter designs that slowly reveal a hidden image, with a two-tone marker in a linen pouch. No skill needed, just one dot at a time.
Aromatherapy eye masks
For MRI patientsA soft, lightly scented, metal-free mask that lets patients close their eyes, block out the room and settle their breathing before and during a scan.
Hospital gowns
For patient roomsGowns so soft and well cut, patients feel they have checked into a five-star hotel. Gentle fabrics, full coverage and a little dignity back.
Meditation beads
For patients and familiesSmooth wood beads to hold and count, one breath at a time, in a soft cotton pouch they can take home.
Aromatherapy kits
For patient roomsRoll-on essential oils in calming scents, easy to keep on hand in patient rooms for a moment of calm whenever it is needed.
Journaling sets
For patient roomsA notebook and pen, kept close at hand, for writing down questions for the doctor, a worry to set down, or a thought worth keeping.
Let's bring a pause to your hospital.
We work with hospitals to choose the right pieces for each space, from a single waiting room to an entire patient floor.
