Kylee Ruvalcaba
Connective Experience Manager

As The Connective Experience Manager, I’m here to help you find the right wellness practitioner and feel truly supported throughout your journey. Based in our San Francisco office, I’m your go-to person for guidance, questions, or feedback—anything that helps make your experience feel aligned, thoughtful, and cared for!

Born in Reno, NV, I’ve spent much of my life bouncing around the West Coast before landing in the Bay Area. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Human Communication from Southern Oregon University, where I developed a deep appreciation for the ways we connect, relate, and make meaning together. Before transitioning into the mental health field, I worked in schools supporting youth development—an experience that shaped my passion for relational work, emotional growth, and community care- kids are also just silly and so much fun!

Somewhere in the middle of all that, I also worked in radio—yes, like actual radio! I like to think those years behind the mic helped me really nail my new client calls. Warm voice, clear intro, good timing… all I’m missing is an intro and outro song!

I really just love connecting with people—clients, practitioners, all of it! What I love most is getting to witness the authentic, real, and deeply human sides of people—clients doing their best to care for themselves, and practitioners showing up with so much heart! It’s a reminder that we’re all just trying our best and those bonds that we create throughout that process is so special! 

Building relationships is also huge for me, and I love that I get to see clients throughout their journey! Mental health is a big part of my own life, so it feels pretty sweet to play even a small part in helping someone begin—or continue theirs. Plus, I get to keep things running behind the scenes, boost team morale, and maybe even sneak in a few jokes along the way hehe.

When I’m not at The Connective, you can probably find me wandering/dancing around the city with no real destination—I’ve discovered so many cute little parks and neighborhoods that have become my favorites along the way! Sometimes, I have a more focused agenda: eating my way through the city. I haven’t met a pizza spot I didn’t like, but if you know where to find the best ranch dressing, please share—I’m always on the lookout. Our cat, Baby, sometimes joins the walks in her stroller, but she can be a bit distracting since she’s become something of a local celebrity.

I also love getting carried away with a new craft fixation and finding any excuse to put my KitchenAid mixer to good use.

Joy, curiosity, and connection are big parts of my life—both in and out of work. I’m so glad you found us, and I’m truly honored to be a small part of your wellness journey! Looking forward to chatting with you!
