Coro Health, the leading provider of therapeutic music and spiritual support in the healthcare industry, announced the hiring of Hillary Geisler, MA, as Vice President of Spirituality.
Hillary spent over two decades in the High Tech/Content Management industry, and the last 10 years in Spiritual Care as a spiritual director, awareness coach and leadership consultant.
Hillary will oversee CoroFaith, an inter-faith digital therapeutic streaming service providing individualized spiritual support continuity for people in various healthcare settings such as hospitals, long-term care, treatment centers and aging-in place communities. CoroFaith draws from a broad spectrum of faith and wisdom traditions (Catholic, Christian, Buddhist, General Spirituality, Jewish & Islam) to offer prayers, meditations, sacred texts, education, interactive spiritual exercises and more.
Many studies have linked spiritual care treatments to the improvement of mental health in patients with chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease and dementia. These individuals not only experience physical distress, but also emotional pain, including depression and anxiety, from coping with their illness and mortality. Spirituality tools and resources can alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety and lower heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure, which is associated with a lower stress response in patients.
The COVID pandemic exacerbated the need for alternative spiritual resources to improve the physical, cognitive and emotional well-being of individuals suffering from acute and chronic illnesses. Healthcare workers and caregivers having access to digital resources such as CoroFaith can reduce the need for pharmaceutical agents for people under their care. This can result in fewer expenses for the hospital and community and gives the patient the ability to pursue a more natural course of health care.
Coro Health, a digital therapeutics company based in Austin, Texas and is the leading provider of therapeutic music and spiritual support within the healthcare industry. Serving over 5,000 locations, Coro Health is the industry leading therapeutic streaming service and has been clinically proven to reduce agitation and depression.

“As a fellow seeker, I am very passionate about the influence of spirituality in providing meaning, purpose and belonging in every stage of life,” shared Geisler. “I feel like my background in technology, product development, marketing and spirituality all have culminated into this great opportunity to help shape CoroFaith. I hold great reverence for all faith and wisdom traditions and look forward to expanding a diverse and inclusive spiritual program with CoroFaith.”
Hillary has a BA in English from the University of Texas, Austin and an MA in Spiritual Formation from Seminary of the Southwest. She is the co-founder of the Institute for Soul-Centered Life and Leadership.
