Why it works

Support for your whole family -
not just your child.

You’ve already tried “eat better, move more.” Tailwind Care gives your family a real plan, and a team to run it with, so the change is shared, and your child is never the one being “fixed.”

A pediatrician leads every plan

Board-certified pediatric physicians who specialize in weight and healthy growth - and know how to talk to a 14-year-old.

A schedule that fits a school week

Visits by video from home, with short coaching check-ins between them. We work around homework, activities, and dinner.

Safe, evidence-based, and covered

AAP-aligned care with close clinical follow-up. Covered by insurance, including Medicaid.

Tailwind Care is a structured program families do together, with steady support over several months. Each week, your care team helps your family take small, practical steps around food, movement, sleep, and routines. Nothing extreme. Nothing shame-based. Just real change, built slowly enough to last.

Our promises

What every family can count on

No shame, ever. Not from us.

Your child is not a problem to fix. Care starts with dignity in how we talk, what we track, and what we celebrate.

Real change has to fit real life.

Your care team helps your family make doable changes across sleep, meals, movement, routines, and time together, at a pace you can actually keep.

We fit alongside your child's existing care.

Most families already have a pediatrician they trust. Tailwind Care doesn't replace that relationship - we add a specialized team and coordinate with your child's doctor so nothing falls through the cracks.

Spots open in waves. Reserve your spot.

Save your spot and we'll reach out the moment one opens - starting with a 60-minute pediatrician consultation.

Who Tailwind Care is for

Tailwind Care is whole-child care for children ages 6-17 whose weight or healthy growth would benefit from real support - focused on energy, sleep, confidence, and healthy habits, with the whole family involved. Tailwind Care is not a picky-eating or general-anxiety program on its own, and it's not for children who are underweight or need to gain weight. If that's what you're looking for, we're not the right fit - and we'd rather tell you now.

Your questions answered

What families ask us most

Many families wonder whether they're overthinking it, or whether they'll wish they'd started sooner. That's one of the most common things we hear.

We're in-network with most commercial and Medicaid plans and handle the paperwork, including eligibility checks. Share your plan name when you save your spot and we'll prepare your coverage details for when care opens.

Tailwind Care is built for children ages 6-17. Every plan is led by a board-certified pediatrician who specializes in pediatric weight and healthy growth.

No. Tailwind Care doesn't work through restriction, food bans, or deprivation - and never by singling your child out. The approach is everyday choices and small, doable changes the whole family makes together, with healthy food kept within reach rather than foods taken away.

Only when it's clinically right. When AAP guidelines support it, our pediatricians can prescribe and follow up closely. When they don't, we say so - and medication is never the whole plan. Nutrition, habits, and family support always come first.

Visits happen by video from home, scheduled around school, activities, and work. Between visits, your child gets short coaching check-ins they can do. No waiting rooms, no missed afternoons.

We'll reach out when we're ready for you. Your first step is a 60-minute consultation with a pediatrician - so you can decide if Tailwind Care is right for your family before anything else.

Tailwind Care is opening to new families in waves. Join the waitlist to save your spot, and we'll reach out when care is available for your family. In the meantime, we'll only send updates that matter.

We're here when you're ready.
