About me
Helping women become informed and empowered about their health has always been at the heart of my work. With 15 years’ experience in reproductive care and a background in clinical midwifery, I bring deep, practical insight to topics including fertility, contraception, pregnancy, postpartum, and menstrual health.
​
As a freelance journalist and published author, I create clear, evidence-based content for the women’s health and FemTech sectors — work that combines clinical knowledge with a strong narrative voice. I also write about innovation in the future of food, covering alternative proteins, biotech, and the technologies and systems shaping consumer behaviour and industry change.
Alongside my commissioned work, I write creative nonfiction and essays exploring bodies, burnout, and feminist themes, and I offer coaching for emerging writers. I live on the south coast of England with my family, and when I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me walking by the sea, gardening, or in a bookshop.
Professional Experience
Midwife
As a clinical midwife, I worked in maternity care, sexual health and family planning, as well as in public health roles, giving me a breadth of knowledge across the whole reproductive spectrum.
Consultant
I write, edit and produce digital and print resources, co-create and facilitate training courses, and have successfully project managed several initiatives in the women's health and charitable sectors.
Freelance Journalist
I have written for a variety of publications over the years and am experienced in creative non-fiction, journalism, and trade writing. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Journalism.
Book Coach
From developmental editing and crafting proposals to emotional and practical support throughout the writing and publishing process, I provide mentoring services to aspiring nonfiction writers & memoirists.
Author
My book, Overdue: Birth, burnout, and a blueprint for a better NHS, was published in 2020 by Pinter & Martin and was featured on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour shortly after its publication.
Advocate
Prior to becoming a midwife I was a birth and postnatal doula, providing direct support to families. I also worked for four years at advocacy charity White Ribbon Alliance UK as the Resource and Training Lead.
