3 things I do to make your health content click

Despite tons of great writing tools, connecting with your readers still takes a human touch.  Especially with health and wellness content, which requires both accuracy and relatability. So here’s how I give you a hand:

#1: I craft a stand-out piece, top to bottom

First I listen to make sure I know what you mean. Then I tap into my cross-disciplinary expertise to deliver a product that performs beyond expectations. Research, SEO optimization, proofing…I obsess about it all.

#2: I take your words from “meh” to “wow”

Dozens of classes, hundreds of projects, thousands of hours writing and editing…it all adds up in your favor. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an expert who cares about both performance metrics and polish on your side?

#3: I push your content way past ChatGPT  

Sure, AI makes it much easier to create affordable content. But when you want better than “good enough,” I step in to fact-check, verify citations, and add a warm human tone so your words can get to work the right way.

  • Education. Only 1.7% of content writers have a STEM Ph.D. I’m one of them. Plus, I throw in a writing MFA for good measure. So you get competitive rates with an extra side of know-how.
