We’re excited to share big news!

Mewsic Moves is expanding to Orange County. With 20+ years of providing compassionate, evidence-based support to neurologic and neurodivergent families, we’re now serving San Clemente and surrounding South OC communities with music therapy, adaptive music education, and family therapy, bringing trusted care to more families, providers, and programs across the region.

Why music therapy works?

  • Motivating: Music increases engagement and follow-through.

  • Functional: Skills practiced in-session carry into daily life.

  • Connected: Strengthens co-regulation and relationships.

  • Brain-based: Rhythm + repetition support learning and neuroplasticity.

  • Music is processed in all regions of the brain, and it can excel at achieving goals through the science behind music and the brain.
