About Jayda
I have 11 years of experience working in clinical pediatric nutrition at a children's hospital and outpatient clinic in Austin, Texas. Over the years I have worked with many different types of kids of all ages. I am a parent myself and I understand the many challenges that come with feeding your child. I have lots of experience working with toddlers, picky eaters, school aged kids, teenagers, and everybody in between. I also have a lot of experience working with medically complex children. My experience working at a children's hospital for many years has allowed me the opportunity to see and understand almost every pediatric nutrition challenge out there. I look forward to helping your child improve their overall nutrition.
Approach to care
Nobody gives you a guide book on kid's nutrition and best feeding practices when you become a parent. I want to get to know your child's eating habits and we will work together to find reasonable solutions to improve their nutrition that fit your family's day to day life. I am a big believer in the idea that small changes as a family provide the biggest impact. The goal is progress, not perfection.
Your first session with Jayda
I will get to know your child's likes/dislikes and daily eating habits. We will explore opportunities to enhance your child's nutrition and discuss a plan to carry out these changes. Expect a warm, low-pressure conversation where we’ll map out a path that feels doable. You don’t need to have everything figured out, just show up as you are, and we’ll build from there.
