Over the years, she has written for most of the UK's national newspapers including the Daily Mail, The Guardian, and The Telegraph, and contributed to a wide range of magazines and websites including Red, Psychologies, and Stylist.

She wrote a popular lifestyle column for AOL and one instalment ended up being the text in a GCSE English exam paper. Heidi's opinions have sparked lively debates everywhere from ITV’s This Morning to BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, where she defended the case for Harper Beckham having dummy in a discussion with Jane Garvey. Her articles have also been discussed on Loose Women and 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.
