Alicia Ma Ri Atu Ma/Hush Hour

This is me in the photo, Alicia Davies / Ma Ri Atu Ma; the face behind Hush Hour (formerly Earth Song Sound Healing). 

I'm a musician, artist, and writer who discovered the healing power of sound after I experienced a major life trauma in 2012. Fate had stepped in, it seemed, and soon - very soon - it became clear that this was to be my future path, and all the barriers to doing this work were rapidly dissolved. My deep connection to the natural world first led me to name my business Earth Song Sound Healing. During the pandemic, I rebranded to Hush Hour to reflect the fact that I had also started to offer podcasts and meditations set to music designed to encourage people to take time out to find some inner peace and tranquility. Now I hold regular gong and sound baths, with guided meditations of my own creation - often channelled in the moment - to deepen and enhance the experience. I incorporate whatever theme seems appropriate for the time, which will always be based in the imagery of Nature, and might even include mythical beasts or spirit animal wisdom.

Here are some testimonials:

“Wow I don’t know where to start. I’m a practitioner in sound therapy and was lucky to spend some time with Alicia at Barefoot Festival. I attended her guided meditation for ancestral healing and sound bath. The eclectic mix of sounds and vibration was out of this world. Alicia facilitated the best sound bath I have ever attended."

“I had been feeling quite anxious and overwhelmed by events in my life. When the session began, I was able to reach a state of deep relaxation very quickly. Afterwards, I was aware how much calmer, more settled and at ease I felt. The combination of relaxation with meditation and being taken on a healing journey (of the imagination) is very powerful, and I felt safe and nurtured.”

"Such a beautiful meditation."

"After many sleepless nights, it calmed me down so much I promptly passed out [and slept]."

"Thank you for the gong bath. It was sensational!"
