What If One Conversation Could Save You Months of Stress?

At Happy Now Mom, we believe you don’t have to feel overwhelmed navigating this journey alone. Led by our founder, Christy O. Tu—a dedicated Parent Coach, Advocate, SDP Independent Facilitator, and a mother who has personally walked this path raising a child with autism, speech/language challenges, and ADHD—our team is here to turn confusion into clarity. We bridge the gap between complex state programs and your family's daily peace of mind, empowering you with the tools to confidently claim the services your child deserves.


Founded on both lived experience and professional advocacy work, we provide personalized, one-on-one guidance to help families successfully navigate IEPs, Regional Center services, IHSS Protective Supervision, Medi-Cal Waivers, and the Self-Determination Program (SDP) throughout California. Many families are completely unaware of the life-changing funding, services, and supports available to them. Our mission is to educate and support you step-by-step, reducing your stress, saving you precious time, and building a bright, hope-filled future where your child can truly thrive.

How It Works
