Who Am I?
My name is Kate! I enjoy rock climbing, playing games with friends, exploring new places, and soaking up the Southern California sun, whether it's on a hike or at the beach - I will jump in the ocean any time of the year!
Following my undergraduate studies at UCLA and masters program at Indiana University, I have been working as a pediatric speech language pathologist since 2018 in a variety of settings including school, clinic, and telehealth. I have a passion for working with AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), articulation, and early language development, and I have significant experience with children on the autism spectrum.
I am also a certified massage therapist, having completed my training at Kali Institute in Ventura in January, 2025. Whether you're looking for relaxation and stress relief or support with injuries and/or chronic pain, I strongly believe in the benefits of massage.
My concept for Day by Day grew from the idea that progress, healing, and growth of all kinds are a process. Results can take time. Obstacles can feel more manageable when they're broken down into smaller parts. Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed by any of life's challenges, I remind myself to take a step back, take a breath, and take things day by day.


Welcome to Day by Day...
