MEET OUR FOUNDER
Hello, I'm Nicola Maria Rose, the founder of HushAway®. I love children, and I know you do too.
I owned and ran an award-winning nursery before Covid, and have spent my career in business and marketing, coaching and mentoring both business owners and young people. I discovered the power of sound after selling the nursery, while building a business that gives brands a voice, literally, as a voice artist. I went on to become a certified sound therapy practitioner, and then brought everything together into a mission to which I have dedicated the last two years of my life.
I created HushAway® as a holistic tool for children and families navigating a world that can feel too loud, too busy, and in some cases just not ready for them (yet). HushAway® is built on a hope and a prayer: that by helping children regulate their emotions and feel safe, the world becomes their oyster and they can truly thrive.
