Reach your audience with health translation & copywriting
Health is becoming increasingly a trending topic. People are actively looking for health information, but often struggle to fully understand it. This creates a clear opportunity: you now have the chance to invest on a clear, culturally adapted communication to have a competitive advantage.
And you can do this without compromising scientific accuracy or sounding too technical.
Through health translation (English and German into European Portuguese) and health copywriting (English and Portuguese), you can create content that truly connects with the health market, that is aligned with your voice, your goals, and your audience.

Expanding into a new market, adapting your content, implementing AI workflows, communicating across languages, staying compliant with regulations…
Does this sound familiar?
Communicating in the health market is not just about translating or writing content anymore. It requires strategy, positioning and cultural adaptation.
These days, many companies rely solely on AI to translate and write copy, only to realize that their message doesn’t connect, their content feels distant, and their communication fails to resonate with the audience.
Without proper localization and cultural insight
If this doesn’t change, you risk failing positioning
Your brand may struggle to gain visibility, your content may fail to connect with the local audience, and your communication may not meet the expectations of a market that increasingly values clarity, trust and storytelling.
And when speed takes priority over strategy — especially with AI — you risk creating content that is inaccurate, culturally misaligned, or not fully compliant with European standards, which can ultimately impact your credibility, your results, and your long-term growth.

what other clients say
Hi, my name is alice!
There were three key moments that led me to focus on health communication.
👉 My father is paraplegic
👉 A doctor once failed to explain my diagnosis and made me feel responsible for my condition
👉 I often accompanied my grandparents to medical appointments
In all of these situations, I realized one thing: healthcare often lacks clear communication. Poor communication leads to misinformation, disengagement, and resistance.
No one wants to feel blamed for their condition. No one wants to feel abandoned during treatment. And no one wants to feel confused or inadequate when speaking to a healthcare professional.
Health itself is a trending topic, but it’s still not communicated in a way that is simple, engaging, and accessible. Health literacy is becoming increasingly important, and I help improve it through the right words and the right stories.
With my background in creative writing, I help transform complex content into something clear and accessible, creating a bridge between your message and your audience.
Through medical translation (English & German into Portuguese) and health copywriting (Portuguese & English), we can bring health and wellbeing closer to people in a way that informs, connects, and builds trust.
If you don’t mess with your health,
why messing with communication?
