Get to know your ChatterBites founder, Gabriella
Gabriella Magid is a compassionate and skilled speech and feeding therapist who has dedicated her career to helping children communicate effectively and enjoy mealtime without stress. She earned her M.S. in Communicative Sciences from NYU, where she developed a strong foundation in speech and language development. With additional training in specialized methods like DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing), PROMPT therapy, sensory-motor feeding therapy, and the assessment of tethered oral tissues, Gabriella brings a wealth of expertise to every child she works with. Her approach blends evidence-based practices with a warm, personalized touch, ensuring that families feel supported every step of the way.
Gabriella’s journey began in Brooklyn, where she grew up surrounded by the vibrant city life. Since moving to Westfield with her family, she has embraced the close-knit community and enjoys building meaningful relationships with local families. In her free time, Gabriella loves staying active with long walks and a consistent workout routine, and she’s a big fan of pickleball. Most importantly, she cherishes quality time with her husband, two young kids, and their energetic pup, Lola. Whether she’s on a nature trail or enjoying a quiet moment at home, Gabriella brings the same enthusiasm and care to her personal life as she does to her work.
