Q: Do you charge for health & wellness writing by the hour or by the project?
A: I charge by the project. This includes all communication between myself and the client (via phone or email), concepting, researching, writing, revisions, and the final copy.
No surprises, just one clear flat fee.
Q: Do you offer blogging packages?
A: Yes, I encourage them! Every successful natural health & wellness blogging campaign depends on a regular, consistent posting rhythm.
Pricing is determined by length, amount of research required, and number of posts per month.
Please contact me so we can discuss your needs and draw up a custom quote.
Q: What types of companies do you work with?
A: I like to keep a nice balance of solopreneurs, small businesses, and mid-size to larger companies who are dedicated to helping people and the planet versus just making a profit.
I’m not the cheapest writer out there (hence why you won’t find me on project bidding sites), but I have a deeper understanding of the industry and its clientele than most, which saves clients time and money in the long run.
So, if you’re wondering if I’ll work with an individual or start-up versus a big established company, the answer is yes, provided we are a good fit.
Head over to my About page for a client list (many of whom have been with me for years).
Q: Do you offer re-writes/renos of current natural health and natural foods copy?
Yes, I call this: “copy doctoring” for eBooks or promotions, and “SEO editing” for web copy.
For SEO campaigns, keyphrase editing generally only works for internal webpages, while main pages (such as the Homepage) should usually be re-written entirely for maximum benefit.
Give me a call and we can set up a time to review.
Q: How do you invoice for your natural health copywriting and content writing services?
A: For copywriting, I invoice 50% upfront and 50% upon project completion. Retainer projects, such as blogging, social media content, or eNewsletters, are billed monthly.
Please see the pricing page for more details or contact me for a custom quote.
Q: Do you guarantee results?
A: I guarantee you will be satisfied with your copy until it has been distributed or “goes live”. Unfortunately, no copywriter can guarantee results passed that point due to the many factors beyond our control, such as pricing, email or mailing lists, competition, launch strategy, major events, demand, customer preferences, etc.
Q: Is all your health copywriting and content marketing for supplement companies DSHEA compliant?
A: I am trained and have years of experience writing under DSHEA and FTC guidelines. However, each client may choose to interpret labeling and advertising laws a little differently in relation to their product or service. Some like to push the envelope, others stay conservative.
As stated in my contract, I always strive to uphold the client’s vision for DSHEA compliance, but I am not a legal expert and cannot provide legal advice.
Therefore, I always recommend the client have their copy and content reviewed by legal counsel before being distributed, published, or posted.

Q: Do you use AI to help you write articles?
A: I don’t use AI to write for me, full stop. This means I’m not copying and pasting AI-generating content into articles or copy, nor am I using it for outlining or generating headlines. I know others do, but I trained for years to be great at what I do, and I just don’t find it ethical or helpful to use AI to cut corners.
I’ve found, however, it can be a helpful research tool, provided every source is checked, and I do use Grammarly to help with (not replace) self-editing.
Q: How many rewrites are included in a project?
A: Rewrites are included in your quoted price. Generally clients are thrilled with the first draft, and more than one re-write is rare, but rest assured I will tweak it until it exceeds your expectations.
Q: Do you write all the copy yourself, or do you use other copywriters?
A: Unless I specify otherwise, all your copy/content is written by me.
Q: Will you take rush jobs?
A: I’m happy to accommodate rush jobs if my workload permits. I may charge a “rush fee” depending on the scope of the project. Please contact me, and we can make a plan.
Q: If I hire you as a ghost health writer or blogger, how do you protect my confidentiality?
A: On principle, I never reveal my ghostwriting clients’ identities. Not only is it unethical, but I wouldn’t remain a respected ghostwriter for long if I did.
For additional peace of mind, I am always willing to sign a confidentiality agreement provided by the client.
Q: What is your personal health philosophy?
A: Being a health-conscious person since I was born, I’ve gone through a lot of phases.
I’ve also experienced and witnessed how some people can thrive and heal following a particular philosophy or diet while others get worse.
I’ve watched extremely health-conscious people become very ill while watching processed food addicts live long and fruitful lives.
This experience has driven home the point that there is not one perfect health philosophy, diet, exercise program, etc., for everyone.
So, I don’t ascribe to one specific health philosophy anymore.
These days our main health goals are to live a low-tox lifestyle all around (food, home, water, air, dental, mental/emotional well-being), grow more and more of our own food, eat a plant-based diet with a balanced amount of various proteins, avoid heavy metals as much as possible, exercise, get sunlight, sleep enough (always working on that one!), always use herbs, homeopathy, and nutrition first for health issues, and manage stress creatively.
