I write about family,

Family journalist, wellness writer and women’s interest pieces
In 2022 I embarked on a journey to become a mum – actually I embarked on that journey a while before that but it’s too long and complicated and not the point of this bit of copy to go into all that.

Since then I have written about our journey, and some of the things that affected us along the way. I’ve written for the Telegraph, the Times and Daye on aspects of our story, and have a podcast planned next.
