Freelance journalist, trainer, author and editor specialising in health, birth issues, parenting, wellbeing and healthy eating
Here's a just a few examples of my work. As many of the publications I write for don't publish a lot of content on the web, I have to rely on PDFs to showcase most of my features, though I've linked wherever possible. Please contact me if you'd like to see any other examples.
