Optimizing your Fay profile
How do I find my Fay profile?
Your Fay profile is accessible using your personal booking link, which is available on your Fay Homepage.
What should I include in my bio?
Your bio should clearly communicate who you are, how you work, and who you work best with. Consider addressing the following in your bio:
How you work with patients
The modalities you see (e.g., non-diet approach, functional nutrition, HAES, intuitive eating)
Who your ideal patient is
What sets you apart from other dietitians
Tip: Your bio is also an opportunity to show your personality. Patients are looking for someone they can relate to and trust, let them get to know you.
How do I take a professional headshot at home?
A strong profile photo can be taken at home with a few simple steps. Plan to take at least 20 photos with varied expressions so you have plenty to choose from. Keep the following in mind:
Taking the photo: have a friend take your photo or use your phone's self-timer
Camera settings: if a friend is taking your photo, ask them to use portrait mode to blur the background and keep the focus on you
Background: choose a simple, uncluttered background such as a solid-colored wall or a natural outdoor backdrop with minimal distractions
Lighting: stand in a shaded area with your face pointed toward a light source. Natural light from a window or a ring light both work well
Outfit: wear something professional and comfortable, and avoid bright or heavily patterned clothing
