I'm an award-winning health and wellness writer and editor.

I've been providing content for national magazines and digital publications for more than 25 years.
​
My writing has been published in Real Simple, O, the Oprah Magazine,  Parents,  Martha Stewart Living, Good Housekeeping, Health, Family Circle, DailyOm, and many other print and digital publications. I’ve written about everything from rent-a-chickens to fear of clowns, but I specialize in service pieces on topics such as relationships, psychology, and health. I was honored to win a National Magazine Award in the "personal service" category.

For more than a decade, I was a staff editor at the late-lamented New Age Journal, later reincarnated as Martha Stewart's Whole Living. (I still don't know what color my aura is...) I also served as executive editor of Dr. Andrew Weil’s Self Healing, a national health newsletter covering integrative medicine.

I graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in English and have a MA in English Literature from Boston College. So if you want some Chaucer references thrown into that 1,200-word piece on taming kitchen clutter, I'm your writer.  
​
I’ve been on both sides of the desk. As a writer, I think like an editor. I "get" an assignment with minimum instruction. I know firsthand what heck breaks out if a piece comes in after deadline, with shaky sources, or filled with mysterious holes [“Main point of this graf TK”].

In these lean and mean times, I make your job easier by providing clean, inviting, thoroughly-reported copy, delivered 100 percent drama-free.​
