We’re Ella and Nicky: first-time mums, real-life friends, and the duo behind Hushy.
‍
Like most new mums, we were thrown headfirst into sleep deprivation, identity shifts, and an avalanche of baby-focused tools that only added to the pressure of doing everything right. But when it came to our emotional wellbeing? Crickets.
‍
We both found that after the 'fourth trimester', most of the support for us as the mothers had disappeared. So we built the app we wished existed when we were brand new mums. It’s a lifeline for the mothers behind the milestones:

💬 Daily mental health check-ins you can export for your GP or therapist
📚 Expert-led resources, including those guided by the works of child expert author Kari Sutton’s teachings
💞 Real mum connections, grounded in honesty, empathy, and “yep, same” energy

Hushy was born somewhere between 2am voice notes, half-drunk coffees, and the shared realisation that we were missing from the narrative. We believe when a mum is supported emotionally, the transition to motherhood becomes lighter, and that’s better for everyone, baby included.

We’re still in the thick of it too, but we’re building something that finally puts you, the mum, first. And while we’re new to motherhood, we’re not new to building meaningful things. This one just happens to be close to our hearts (and fuelled by midnight snacks).

With love,
