Meet Kelci Santiago

I’m Kelci Santiago, or Ms. Kelci to the children I work with. I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist offering speech therapy to children.

I draw from my multi-cultural heritage in Pennsylvania, a decade of experience in Hawaii’s vibrant landscapes, and a lifelong passion for supporting families to bring a unique blend of expertise and empathy to every session.

Outside the therapy space, I cherish family time, exploring the great outdoors, and embracing the joy of learning in every aspect of life.

I want to help your child blossom as they prepare for a life-long path of communication and learning.
