Hi! I'm Izzie, a writer and journalist. 

I'm a freelance lifestyle journalist and experienced Health Writer based in London.

​

As a journalist, I've written for outlets that include Refinery29, HuffPost, the Independent, Cosmopolitan, Stylist, Glamour and the Telegraph, on all things lifestyle (e.g. dating & relationships; culture) – but I'm now primarily dedicating my work to women's health: In particular, women being misdiagnosed or otherwise failed by our healthcare system. This is something I feel incredibly passionately about, and I'm very keen to tell more women's stories and try to bring about change in the form of listening to – and respecting – women when they try to explain what's happening in their bodies.

 

I'm particularly keen to bring about change to maternity care; especially with regard to harmful, outdated attitudes that favour a 'natural birth' over life-saving medical interventions, and which try to suppress parents' voices, encourage them not to listen to their bodies and eliminate all element of personal choice when it comes to childbirth.

​

As a Health Writer, I work with femtech companies and health sites on all things women's health-related. I predominantly write for Daye's 'Vitals' blog and sexual health site Giddy on topics such as periods; menopause; conditions (e.g. endometriosis, thrush and BV); and orgasms, among others.

​

I'm also a part-time Editor at Metro UK's 'Platform' section (First Person & Opinion) where I edit first-person stories, opinion pieces and columns, as well as writing 'As Told To' articles via phone or Zoom interviews.

​

I'm always open to commissions; please do get in touch if you'd like to work together!
