Jillian Yudin, pediatric speech-language pathologist

About Jillian

Meet Jillian

Jillian Yudin, M.S., SLP · Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist · Serving Orange County, CA

Hi, I'm Jillian — a pediatric speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience working with children with special needs across all disorders. After years in traditional settings, I knew there had to be a better way. I founded Mindful Speechie because I believe true progress comes from addressing the whole child — not just the symptom. My approach goes beyond conventional therapy to explore holistic root causes, weaving in new technologies like photobiomodulation light therapy alongside mindfulness, reiki, and energy and frequency healing. Combined with evidence-based techniques like PROMPT and DTTC, this heart-centered approach helps children regulate, connect, and truly thrive. Whether we're working at home, at school, or in the water, my goal is always the same: help your child find their voice and feel proud of it.
