This 40-something, ex-Londoner now resides in rural Essex and loves the tranquillity of her new home. As a freelance writer specialising in health, wellness and sustainability issues, she realises how fortunate she is to have so much nature and peacefulness for reflection and inspiration on her doorstep. Her degree in Human Biology and years of working in labs and health environments helps her turn complex science into easy to understand, fun, engaging articles; something she loves doing.

After hanging up her lab coat and later quitting the semi-corporate world, she still can’t believe she’s able to earn a living doing something she enjoys so much. She doesn’t believe in expensive gym memberships in order to keep fit. She’s a fair weather runner, and she’s always encouraging others to lace up their trainers and start running, however slow or short the distance. She’s taught herself enough yoga (using the Yoga Studio app) to pass as somewhere between a beginner and intermediate, and uses free exercise apps to do the HIIT workouts she loves.
