Welcome to The Health Writing Content Hub, where I spend an alarming amount of time thinking about commas, clinical evidence, and whether “wellbeing” or “well-being” is the hill I want to die on.
This blog is packed with practical tips, behind-the-scenes insights, and expert advice on writing health and wellness content that people actually want to read. Whether you’re a healthcare brand or another writer, you’ll find plenty of ideas to help you create clear, trustworthy content without sounding like a medical textbook from 1987.
I write about everything from patient education and health literacy to SEO, content strategy, and simplifying complex medical topics into language that makes sense to actual humans. (A surprisingly rare skill.)
If you’re the kind of person who enjoys writing, you’ll hopefully leave with a few new tricks to make your content stronger.
If, however, the thought of staring at a blank document makes you suddenly remember you need to reorganise the sock drawer, alphabetise the spice rack, or learn conversational Icelandic… I can help with that too.
I’m a freelance health and medical content writer, which means I happily disappear down research rabbit holes, decipher clinical papers, and turn complicated healthcare topics into engaging, evidence-based content, so you don’t have to.
So, have a browse, borrow a few ideas (I encourage that bit), and if you eventually decide you’d rather outsource the writing altogether… well, you know where to find me.

Why I Always Recommend a Trial Piece Before Starting a Content Retainer
