About Lauren

Psychologist. Content Writer. Coach.

Hi there, I’m Lauren Keegan. I’m a psychologist, writer and mother who is surrounded by trees in the Wollondilly Shire; the land of the Dharawal and Gundungurra people. 

I work with health and wellness professionals to grow their business through content that connects. 

I worked in public mental health for twelve years, working extensively with women (and babies) in the perinatal period. I’m now in private practice in the Southern Highlands.

I love working as a psychologist AND I love writing. My business allows me to do both- write about health and wellness topics for busy health professionals in private practice.

When I’m not writing, I’m busy with my two young girls, our boisterous rescue Beagle Ace, and making steps toward an environmentally conscious lifestyle. 

And drinking tea. So. Much. Tea. 

My debut historical mystery novel, All The Bees In The Hollows, will be published by Affirm Press in October 2024. To follow my journey to publication, learn about my writing process and my story inspiration, subscribe to my writing newsletter here.

How it all started

I started writing, way back, in University when I was bogged down with lab reports and literature reviews. At first, it was fiction that enticed me away from the academic writing of my studies. In 2011, I started a book review blog called The Australian Bookshelf, and published 242 blog posts which garnered more than 13,000 views in my first year. In my second year of blogging, that more than doubled to 34,4000 views. 

To be honest, I didn’t know what I was doing back then, but I did know the power of words. The importance of building a platform, creating awareness and a sense of community. 

Over the past decade, my blog has taken many twists and turns (I no longer write book reviews) but with over 950+ blog posts on my own website plus 100s more that I’ve written for others - I have learned A LOT. 

A quality blog, like any content, can help build awareness. It can help you reach more people. And it can help your business grow organically by attracting your ideal clients.

Content forHealth Professionals   

I have worked with health and wellness professionals for almost a decade, creating ethical content that builds brand authority, professional reach and increases business demands.

After meeting so many wonderful therapists and health professionals who lacked confidence to write their own content, I launched my mentoring services. This allows me to support therapists to enhance their confidence and skills to write something that makes a difference in the world.
