As a mom, I know firsthand that the juggling act of parenting can be a huge challenge! We often feel like we can either prioritize our kids or ourselves. On top of that, our culture expects moms to sacrifice everything for their kids, but with less familial and community support than we’ve had in past generations. Add anything extra—a high-stress job, health problems, kid sleep struggles, behavioral or developmental issues—and it can start to get overwhelming.
I’m passionate about providing much-needed support to help parents and families move towards greater well-being. I love to work with parents on finding practical, doable ways to manage burnout, make space for self-care, and nourish their whole family by caring for themselves. As a health coach, I help guide parents towards greater balance and joy as we work together to find manageable, high-impact steps towards health and wellness.

Nice to meet you!
I’m Clio. I’m a mom of two wonderful boys (ages 2 and almost 5), a coach specializing in supporting parents of neurodivergent children, and a professional musician (I perform mostly on viola, and teach viola and violin lessons as well). I'm passionate about helping parents of neurodivergent children feel supported and seen. I believe we can parent with more joy and ease when we address our own emotional needs, tap into community, and redefine and prioritize self care.
I love when my different hats overlap- my experience parenting my autistic son led me to start my coaching practice so that I can support parents going through similar experiences. I’m thrilled to help neurodivergent kids learn to play the violin or viola and love being creative about how to adapt to each child’s unique strengths and challenges! I’m also doing this (here on instagram, facebook and substack) as a way to bring others along on my journey as a parent, to shed some light on what it can be like to raise an autistic child, even if just from my one perspective.
My experience parenting and raising my autistic son has been one of the hardest and most formative experiences of my life. As I’ve sought to synthesize all of my various passions it’s become clear that being an autism advocate and supporting other parents going through a similar journey raising their children are driving passions for me. To that end, I have a coaching practice working with parents 1:1 as well as in group settings. I am certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and SUNY Purchase as a health and wellness coach truly believe in the value of a holistic approach to wellbeing. As a coach, I love to support my clients in topics including parenting, building community, self-compassion, mindfulness, and re-defining self care. If you’re curious about coaching, I’d love to chat! Reach out to schedule a free consult.
What does a coach do?
A coach guides clients towards envisioning and realizing their own desires and goals. I love to work on issues like parenting, self-care, and health and wellness. I use 1:1 coaching sessions to discuss goals and priorities, provide accountability, and support the client in making lasting change. Coaches focus on the present and future and act as a guide while clients do the actual work of making changes in their lives.
