Hi There, I'm Rashida

I'm a freelance health and wellness writer who loves turning complex medical jargon into engaging, easy-to-read articles that everyone can enjoy and understand.


With over ten years of bedside nursing experience, I’m here to help you and your health brand find your voice. Whether you're running a small business or a big brand, I’ll help you share your story in a way that connects with your audience.

But there's more to my story: I’m also very passionate about mental health. In my full-time job, I work with offenders at a correctional facility, helping them with their mental well-being. It’s a role that keeps me grounded and reminds me every day why I love what I do.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me exploring the beautiful coastlines of Kenya, spending time with my family, or curled up with a good book and a cup of tea. My mission? To bring warmth and clarity to everything I write.
