Mama Bear, Mama Bear, What Do You See?
A gentle afternoon for mothers and their pre-crawling babies, led by speech-language pathologist Katrina
Your baby is studying your face right now, the way your mouth moves when you say their name, the way your eyes soften when you look at them
This month we're leaning into that, on the Sunday before Mother's Day, in a room full of women doing the same thing you're doing
What we'll do together
A Little Book
Katrina wrote a short board-book-style story modeled on Brown Bear, Brown Bear, built around the /m/ sound and the word your baby is quietly working toward. Black-and-white animal pages, for the way new eyes actually see
Songs & Serve-and-Return
Two simple songs you can bring home, one paired with an "I love you" tummy massage that's a small gift when your baby is gassy. Katrina will also walk through serve-and-return, the quiet conversations babies are already having with us through sounds, faces, and little movements
A Tiny Ball Pit
Katrina is bringing a mini ball pit with toys hidden inside, plus other age-appropriate pieces for exploring. We'll talk about why tummy time and floor play matter, and how the gross motor foundation your baby is building now is the same foundation that speech will eventually rest on
Led by Katrina
Katrina is ASHA-certified with 14 years of speech therapy practice and 17 years working with clients with special needs. She studied Linguistics and Brain, Behavior & Cognitive Sciences at the University of Michigan (graduating in the top 10%), earned her Master of Science in Communication Disorders at UT Dallas, and trained at the nationally recognized Callier Center for Communication Disorders
She founded Tryumph Speech Therapy in Austin after watching high-quality care get squeezed out of an industry driven by caseload numbers. Her work spans toddlers to adults, and she's especially at home with preverbal and sensory-seeking little ones, using play-based, client-centered therapy that meets each child where they are
"I often use play-based therapy, especially for children who are preverbal and/or sensory seeking. My client-centered approaches focus on developing functional communication skills that are meaningful to your everyday life."
