Hi! I’m Eve D., a recovering digital strategist, and a full-time writer-in-the-making. 

🧠 I think a lot about: wellness, betterment, AI (especially in healthcare), and the role communities will play in our disrupted future. I think very little about: “niches”, “algorithms” and  “building a following”.

🩺 My work obsession is rehealth.co.za, – I am expanding it into South Africa’s biggest (and most useful) health-info hub. My Relentless Goal: to help patients become their own, informed health advocates. I’ve had quite enough of the obfuscation in this industry. 

🥳 For fun: I write, hike, lunch lazily, parent, dance in my kitchen, read everything, watch, listen, garden hopelessly, take day trips, drink champagne, drink coffee, eat almonds and raspberries, and always look for reasons to laugh out loud.

If you’d like to chat about digital space, wellness, betterment, opportunities or anything else that’s worth 15 minutes of our time, send me an email (hello@eved.co.za). 

My work: rehealth.co.za

If you are interested in speaking to South African patients – specifically those who are medical aid members – please get in touch. Lots of opportunities!

Medical Aid

Compare any open medical aid plans, benefit by benefit. Bonus: find health insurance, gap cover, pet insurance. No registration, no sales, no hassle. Just the info, in plain(er) English, so you can make informed decisions.

Directory

It takes more to find the right doctor or healthcare professional than a blind recommendation from a WhatsApp group. Our directory gives you more info about the person and their expertise, so you can make informed decisions.

Info Hub

We help you figure out what resources and treatments are available for various conditions and needs. We bring together the info, the expertise, the patients and the professionals to help you make informed decisions.

Newsletter

There is a lot going on in healthcare and wellness, and our newsletter ("Boost!") helps you stay on top of it all, in a fun, non-pushy and gentle way. Find info, special deals, hacks, new products and services and more...

Where I write:

Of Relevance

I'm writing a book that I need to read, and I am sharing it with you. It's a day-by-day roadmap to a healthier and happier life.

No Magic Beans

I think about a lot of things, and the best way for me to do that is to think, then write, then think some more. I post the results of that process here.

Sneakers and Heels

I'm loving midlife as a woman, and I put that joy and experience into a personal blog and weekly newsletter for others in the same stage of life. It's a fun read!

Socials

I am lured by Substack, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, but am not a fan of anything that feeds an algorithm. So I'm tip-toeing there, more as an experiment than anything else.
