Health Journalists

Ally Head

Freelance Journalist

As a freelance journalist with over five years experience, I write news, topical features and SEO-focused long-form pieces weekly for the likes of Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Women's Health, Grazia, Good Housekeeping, and more. Not just that, but I advise on social strategy, pitch commissions, and write commercial content, too. Acting as WH's social media editor in October, I grew the Tiktok following to near 5,000, and had two of the best performing pieces across Marie Claire's 2020 Prime Day and Black Friday offerings. Prior to that, I oversaw digital strategy at Foodism and was the junior digital writer at Women's Health magazines. As well as writing, I freelance as an assistant food stylist for celebrity chefs such as James Martin, Mary Berry and Rachel Allen, and work on shoots across food, fitness and lifestyle. Just this year, I worked with Refinery 29 on a yet to be released video campaign. My career highlights include winning Rude Health’s porridge championships two years in a row with my inventive oat risottos and running the London marathon twice for team Women's Health. Ultra marathon - pending. With a wealth of digital and journalistic experience, I am available for freelance health, food and fitness commissions and SEO-focused articles.
