Moms Spectrum Oasis, LLC is a legacy of love from one mom of an autistic child to another.
MSO Founder, Heidi Rome, has spent more than a decade navigating, surviving and thriving autism with her younger son, Ethan. He was diagnosed at 18 months old and is virtually non-verbal. Since then, Heidi has been a warrior mom on a mission to assure her son's complex needs were continually met. Moms Spectrum Oasis (MSO) exists to support MOMS after their child has been diagnosed with autism. We mother the mothers, so you can finally be taken care of and become an even more effective problem-solver and champion for your child and family! With so many focusing on the kids, MSO makes moms' well-being our top priority. Why? We know this meets your prime directive, helping to get your child's needs met while not losing yourself in the process. We understand that you may be overwhelmed with information, decisions and tough emotions regarding your disabled child's care. The demands never stop! You may feel so alone, so lost, even abandoned, secretly guilty, deeply frightened that you are somehow not a good-enough mother to handle all this. Maybe you're panicked that you will not know what to do next and your child may suffer for it. You can get dragged in and become all-consumed by autism's impact! Our goal is to guide you, lend an ear and navigate you from panic to purpose. By empowering moms of autistic kids to be the wisest and most powerful they can be, we help you release and leave behind your continuous worry and fear that your child’s needs won’t be met. We teach you what you don't know AND what you don't know you don't know. We also remind you of what you do know and what you can do. Through our Mom Mentoring 1:1 sessions, Moms Haven Group circles and activities, Progressing Past Autism Diagnosis (P.P.A.D.) educational workshop series, and our Clarity Care Companion Autism Navigation services for moms reeling from their autistic child’s more recent diagnosis or grappling with new developments, we take you under our wing and off the frenzied cycle of 'spectrum'. With open eyes, minds and hearts, we embark with you on a path to peace, power and progress. When you connect with Moms Spectrum Oasis, you'll become part of a family who knows and understands exactly what you're going through and are here to support you, no-judgment, wherever you are in your process. We are together with you, shoulder to shoulder, a community. Renew your hope, remember how wise you already are, have courage and smile again. You are no longer alone on this scary, unpredictable autism journey!
