About Me

Sydney
Hi, I'm Susannah and I'm a freelance Health Writer.

I create high-quality, evidence-based health information which is pitched for readers who are non-healthcare professionals, such as patients and their families. I use clear and simple language that is easy to understand. I am driven by empowering people through knowledge to ask the right questions, make better decisions and advocate for themselves in relation to health.

Before segueing into health writing, I was a Physiotherapist specialising in Health Ergonomics. I spent more than 10 years working in private and public sector institutions, making changes to improve health. My focus was always on education and information. My experience as a Healthcare Professional strongly informs my writing. I understand the challenges and concerns of patients, and the information they are looking for. I know how to provide this in a format that can be easily understood, incorporating empathy and compassion.

My written work allows health organisations to engage with, and pass valuable messages to, their audiences.​ Working together, we inspire behavioural change and drive better health outcomes. ​
