Freelance health writer & content strategist

About Me

Hello! I'm Vanessa. I'm a freelance health writer and content strategist based in London.

I help health companies start and scale their content marketing with writing, strategy and content management services. 

I started my career as a copywriter before moving into journalism. I now combine the best of both — sales and storytelling — to create high-quality health content that drives traffic, engagement and trust. 

I spend most of my time turning complex medical research into clear, actually-gives-the-answer articles that rank in search and build authority in competitive spaces. 

In the past 11 years as a writer (9 as a freelancer!), I've partnered with health brands like: 

• Hims & Hims
• Rise Science
• Upheal
• Twoplus Fertility
• Oar Health

Here's what clients say about working with me:

Hims & Hers: 
"Vanessa is truly a unicorn in the content space. She's an excellent and fun creative writer who also has the background in strategy to create content that wins — both in SERPs and with readers. She and I worked extensively together at Hims & Hers Health, Inc. and she was instrumental in the success of our expanding and ever-changing content program. Not only did she never miss a deadline, but she also worked extremely diligently to follow our briefs and also identify potential holes or missed opportunities as they arose. She's a bonafide word-slinger and we were extremely fortunate to have found her."

Rise Science:
"I couldn't speak more highly of Vanessa's writing. Her ability to distill complex science into something approachable and engaging, as well as thread the tricky needle of satisfying SEO requirements while creating compelling content for the reader is second to none. I don't consider her a content writer, I consider her a true content partner, who has had and continues to have a sizable impact on our business."

Upheal:
"Vanessa is fantastic – I highly recommend her. She's meticulous, creative, fast, and does her research. She's not a writer you have to "direct" (I don't have much time for that). When it comes to feedback, she incorporates it fast and well or offers suggestions that work in her style and thinking. I love working with her because I can trust that she'll deliver great content, respond fast, and be a pleasure to work with."
