Kaetlin Romberg, M.Ed., DT
As the founder and owner, Kaet is passionate about working with families to understand what goes well and what is challenging throughout the day. This allows her to successfully integrate therapeutic strategies into everyday activities that best support the child.
She lives an active lifestyle, and is a long-time plant enthusiast and resident of Chicago. Kaet is always looking for the next best restaurant or soup in the city. She enjoys book club, the weekend farmer's market, and spending time with her canine companion, Tobi.
Jessica Romberg
With a background in partner and event marketing of various industries, Jessica has a passion for social impact and chose to bring her expertise to the pediatric therapy community. She leads the marketing and business operations, as well as business development initiatives. She prioritizes health and well-being, so you can find Jess on Chicago lake walks with her pup, Bodie, or in a barre fitness class. In that extra, spare time, she's enjoying country music and film photography.
