I speak three languages – health, wellness and English. When you need health or medical copy that is accurate and compelling, I’d love to help. After more than 25 years working in healthcare, I blended my communication skills with my word obsession into a copywriting business specialising in the health and medical sector.
I have worked with start-ups through to large national and international brands, including HCF, Bupa, GlaxoSmithKline, Ego Pharmaceuticals, MediHerb, Mundipharma, Defence Health, Benetas and Naturally Good.
My health writing has featured in publications including MiNDFOOD, Good Health, Wellbeing, the Saturday Paper, Bicycling Australia and the New Daily.
I can write almost anything that needs words – like blogs, articles, case studies, staff profiles, product and service descriptions, newsletters, web pages, consumer fact sheets, emails, eBooks, social posts and video scripts.
I’m a qualified physiotherapist and Pilates instructor, and have completed some training in naturopathy (which was rudely interrupted by the birth of my first daughter). I have worked across a range of healthcare settings – including musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, rehabilitation, sports, community, disability and aged care – which has given me deep insight into communicating effectively with people from diverse backgrounds, plus an understanding of compliance factors when writing for a regulated sector.
I particularly enjoy turning complex information into content that is engaging for readers – and inspires them to take action. I also love researching and understand how crucial it is for health information to be accurate, current and evidence-based.
For fun, I also like writing about lifestyle, finance, human resources and travel (a rather eclectic mix. I know!) When my bum’s not in the chair, I love keeping fit, doing almost anything on or in the water (especially scuba-diving), and hanging out with my friends and family.
I confess to a caffeine addiction, with champagne coming a close second. Not very healthy, I hear you say, but coffee comes from a bean and champagne from fruit, both of which are vital for a balanced diet!
If my background and experience sound like a good fit, I’d love to have a chat with you about how my words can help your business.
