Scientific advisory for women’s health & femtech
Rigorous science. Informed decisions. Clear communication
I offer scientific advisory, neuroscience consulting and science communication to organisations across healthcare, FemTech, research, industry and education, including companies developing employee wellbeing programmes.
Developing a women’s health product or program means making decisions about complex, rapidly-evolving science.
- What does the research support?
- How relevant is it to your users?
- What can you confidently say?
- Where do you need more evidence?
- How you communicate clearly to a range of stakeholders?
I’m an Oxford-trained neuroscientist, author and science communicator with expertise in brain health and a particular focus on women’s brain health across the lifespan.
I help teams interpret evidence, shape programmes and resources, and translate complex findings into clear communication and practical decisions.
Based in Sydney, Australia, I’m available for project-based consulting and ongoing advisory work with Australian and international teams.
Scientific Advisory Services
Evidence reviews and scientific claims
Does the evidence support what your product, programme or campaign says?
I review research and proposed claims within my areas of expertise, examining the strength, relevance and limitations of the evidence. You receive clear recommendations about what is supported, what needs qualification and where further research or specialist input is needed.
Projects can include evidence summaries, reviews of educational materials, annotated product copy and scientific briefings for your team.
Science communication and education
Good science needs an explanation people can understand and use.
I develop and review educational content for apps, websites, professional training, patient resources and public communication. This includes explaining uncertainty, communicating risk and making complex findings accessible while preserving the details that matter.
I also offer team briefings and workshops to help colleagues build a shared understanding of the science behind their work.
Product development and scientific strategy
Scientific input is most useful while there is still time to shape a decision.
I work with founders, product teams and clinical colleagues to explore how neuroscience can inform a feature, service or educational experience.
My contribution focuses on women’s brain health, cognition, sleep, stress, behaviour and reproductive life transitions.
Workplace wellbeing and brain health
How can neuroscience inform the way we work and the programmes designed to support employee wellbeing?
I help organisations interpret research on attention, cognitive load, stress, sleep and recovery, and apply it to workplace education and women's wellbeing initiatives.
Support can include reviewing programme content and claims, advising on brain-health initiatives, and delivering briefings for leaders and teams. I also bring specialist expertise in women’s brain health, helping organisations address life-stage differences without reinforcing stereotypes.
Brain health and women's health areas of expertise
My work brings together women’s brain health and applied neuroscience, with particular interests in:
- Perimenopause, menopause and midlife: cognition, brain fog, sleep, mood and brain ageing.
- Pregnancy and motherhood: maternal brain changes, cognitive experiences and adjustment to parenthood.
- Menstrual cycles and hormonal contraception: interpreting evidence about hormones, mood, cognition and individual differences.
- Puberty and adolescence: brain development, social experiences and reproductive transitions.
- Brain health across the lifespan: memory, learning, stress, sleep, behaviour change and healthy ageing.
- Scientific communication: explaining risk, uncertainty and the difference between an association and a causal effect.
Across these topics, I consider biology alongside the social and environmental conditions that shape women’s lives.
