About Melanie

Bridging the gap between research and reality.

I’m a freelance medical and healthcare journalist based in Germany. I report features, explainers and service pieces for magazines, clinics and brands, with a special focus on migraine and women’s health.

My work blends scientific rigor with accessible storytelling to help readers make informed decisions about their health. I believe that clarity is kindness, especially when navigating complex diagnoses.
