Katie Strain, speech-language pathologist and founder of Kinlee Circle

Who's behind the circle

Katie Strain M.A., CCC-SLP

Hi, I'm Katie, a speech-language pathologist. I started Kinlee Circle because parents deserve a place of their own. A six-week parent coaching series where you learn practical ways to bring more communication into everyday play, guided by a licensed SLP, and supported by other parents doing the same. This isn't therapy for your child. It's coaching and connection for you.

Our approach

The ordinary moments, breakfast, a walk, bath time, are where communication quietly takes root, and these early years are a wonderful window for it.

Kinlee Circle is about making the most of them together: one simple idea each week, an easy and unhurried morning, all led by Katie, a licensed speech-language pathologist, in a cozy group of eight families.

Led by a licensed SLP

Someone who really knows early communication, right there when you need her.

Kept small and cozy

Just eight families, so it always feels personal.

Built on your everyday moments

No extra to-dos, just easy ideas for the days you're already living.

For you, the parent

Support and community for you, not a class for your child.

Who it's for

New to all of this

First baby, figuring it out as you go, and glad to have an expert in early communication and other new parents close by.

Been here before

Second or third time around, wanting a calm morning that's just for you and this little one.

Looking for your people

Wanting a small, familiar group of parents at the very same stage.

Nurturing early language
