About Moms Like Us NJ

Welcome! I’m Sabrina and I’m a mom to 2 sweet minis, my older Superhero is pictured above💛. My oldest, now 23 years old, was born premature (24 weeks!) and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy among a list of other terms. My younger Superhero initially self-diagnosed themselves. This kid is crazy intuitive, kind, hilarious, and intelligent. At 13 they were officially diagnosed with autism and mental health needs. 

I've had a lot of support through the years and have met many wonderful doctors, coworkers, teachers, therapists, and moms like ME! Thus...Moms Like Us was formed. 

 

I organized Moms Like Us after working in several non-profit positions and realizing that I obtained more beneficial information from someone that have been there and done that. I also realized that there was so much I did not know until talking with a mom at a doctor's office or school parking lot. 

 

 

Moms Like Us began as a very, VERY small support group that flourished into my desire to help mothers navigate the overwhelm and still attempt to maintain their sanity. Often we have family and friends who don’t quite “get it” when we express our concerns or even our hectic, heavy schedules. 

 

 

Moms Like Us NJ is a safe place to share, connect, and be encouraged. 

 

My job is to work alongside individuals to bring about creative, thought-provoking, and insightful goals to maximize your potential for your family and/or yourself.  Too often, as moms, we tend to neglect ourselves because of the many hats we wear. 

 

With IEPs/ISPs, various appointments, equipment, and even having multiple children, it can be extremely difficult to maintain balance. Families with children who have unique learning differences or special needs may benefit from additional support, training, and practical information. I am a coach who will focus on working with you in reaching your goals as I, too, understand the family dynamics and the systems of care.  You know your family best and I wish to aid in offering a fresh perspective and assist in brainstorming as someone who has walked and worked in similar situations. 

 

 

So if you’re feeling kinda like you need balance, refocusing or a nudge in your goals I'd love to be of assistance, for free. Yes, I offer my time for free because I understand how daunting, frustrating, and stressful parenting a special needs child can be. 

 

 

Hugs (I'm a hugger 🤗),

 

💛Sabrina
