What it looks like working with me
I'm a confident public speaker - and enjoy engaging and captivating your audience, and interacting with them (when needed).
Having written for a range of publications, from The Sun to The Guardian, I am used to adapting my tone and approach to your audience.
I know that deadlines can be rigid - so I'm always happy to agree on deadlines and ensure there's no delay.
I'm passionate about evidence-based information that empowers parents and promotes the best health and wellbeing for children - so you can rely on me to support your audience with leading knowledge and expertise.
I have 10 years of NHS experience - and now run private clinics supporting parents struggling with their child's feeding and eating. I know your audience very well - and love that I can support them further through brand, PR & media projects.
Accurate information is so powerful.
It has the potential to transform your article, talk, TV show, book or any other product into something entirely trustworthy for your audience. But how you unearth this information and communicate it is vital.
Work with me to ensure accurate and evidence-based knowledge and a clear message your audience will resonate with.
