Heidi is a seasoned lifestyle journalist with nearly 20 years of experience. Her work has appeared in many of the UK’s top newspapers, including The Daily Mail, The Guardian, and The Telegraph, as well as a wide range of magazines and websites such as Red, Psychologies, and Stylist. She specialises in consumer content - from buying guides and product reviews to gift round-ups that take the stress out of “what to buy for…” any occasion.
A former lifestyle columnist for AOL, one of her pieces was the featured text in a GCSE English exam. Heidi’s work has sparked lively debates, with appearances on ITV’s This Morning, BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour - where she defended Harper Beckham’s use of a dummy - and mentions on Loose Women, as well as being shared by Richard Branson.
Heidi lives on the North Coast of Ireland with her husband and their three children, plus an excessively fluffy cat and an irrepressibly energetic dog. She loves beach walks, espresso martinis, and being left in peace with a good book.
