Are you a parent of a child, teen, or adult with neurodivergent, intellectual, and/or developmental needs?

This event was created just for you!

Musical greetings,

John Mews here (LMFT, MT). I’m excited to invite you to our FREE upcoming parent night at our Santa Monica location. For over 20 years Mewsic Moves has fostered a culture of supporting the entire family. My vision is a place that supports the entire family, not only through music therapy, but also through counseling, free community events and resources.

While we may be working with your child in session… we never forget that you’re the one holding everything together outside of it. The appointments, the advocacy, the school calls, the emotional load, the planning, the worry, the hope, the finances and more!

You deserve care and support too.

That’s why we’re inviting you to a FREE parent self-care + connection event, a simple, welcoming space where you can:

Meet other parents who truly understand your world (no explaining, no masking, just real connection)
Feel less aloneby being in a room with people who “get it” and can relate to the daily wins and challenges
Exhale and reset your nervous system through gentle, grounding rhythm and music (no musical experience needed)
Release stress in a healthy way, move some of that built-up tension out of your body through drumming and shared music-making
Experience a moment that’s just for you, not another appointment to manage, but a chance to be cared for too
Walk away with practical, repeatable toolsyou can use at home (simple musical and rhythm-based strategies to support regulation and emotional reset with yourself and your family)
Feel more supported, connected, and encouraged with a little more energy to keep showing up for your family
Enjoy meeting other parents in a warm, welcoming environmentthat’s family-first and judgment-free. This is part of our family-first model and one of the ways we want to give back to the community we’re honored to serve.
