Grace Walsh is woman&home's Health Channel Editor, working across the areas of fitness, nutrition, sleep, mental health, relationships, and sex. She is also a qualified fitness instructor.
A digital journalist with over seven years experience as a writer and editor for UK publications, Grace has covered (almost) everything in the world of health and wellbeing with bylines in Cosmopolitan, Red, The i Paper, GoodtoKnow, and more. She started her career writing about the complexities of sex and relationships, before combining personal passion with professional and writing about fitness. Everything from the importance of strength training for women to the latest health trend, Grace has a huge spectrum of interests in the wellness sphere. Having reported on the coronavirus pandemic since the first swab, she counts public health among them.
Outside of work, when Grace isn’t out hiking, running, cycling, or in the gym, you’ll find her sussing out the city’s best coffee spots or cooking up a storm kitchen. And while she’d always rather pick up a barbell than go to a yoga class, she believes that the best exercise is the one that you enjoy the most - and that wellness looks different for everyone.
