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

Communication grows through relationships, shared attention, everyday routines, and meaningful interaction, not pressure or perfection. Kinlee Circle helps you notice it, trust it, and build on it, one ordinary moment at a time.

Flexible

Real life isn't tidy. Our approach bends to fit the day you're actually having.

Natural

Strategies live inside your existing routines (meals, walks, bath time), not on top of them.

Emotionally Supportive

Connection comes first. Skills grow inside warm, attuned relationships.

Parent-Empowering

You don't need to become an expert. You need to feel seen, supported, and steady.

Who it's for

Parents who want to feel more at home in connection

Parents wanting confidence

For caregivers who'd like to feel more sure of themselves in the everyday moments of communication.

Families seeking connection

For families looking for intentional, connection-based time together, not another checklist.

Language-rich households

For parents drawn to language-rich interaction and responsive, attuned communication.

Practical at-home support

For caregivers who want strategies that actually fit into real life at home.
