“Over nearly a decade of knowing and working closely with Margarita, I have never met a more dedicated and informed writer than her. Not only was she consistent in the high quality of articles she wrote, she was reliable and independent. Her article ideas were always on point and thoughtful -- a potential challenge when writing in the same topic area for years. Her interviews with experts for fleshing out an article were always well-honed and chosen, allowing for additional insights that contributed to a reader's understanding about the topic. When assigned topics to write on, she always returned an article that required very little editing and on time. When given a very large content project that required significant organizational skills, reading, and extensive review of the research literature, she never flinched at the scope of the project and produced incredible work. Her communication style is clear, consistent, and timely. In short, she was a real joy and pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend her as an amazing writer and individual.”

“Margarita reliably delivers content that is researched, organized, effective, and original. What makes it even better is that each piece also has heart, compassion, and a genuine connection to the reader. She always manages to find unique angles and seamlessly incorporates interviews with experienced professionals that can offer useful and meaningful information and advice. She’s an absolute pleasure to work with and she has become a writer I look forward to editing each time.”

— Sara McTigue, editor, pregnancy and baby at Healthline.com

“Margarita is an absolute joy to work with. She is an endless well of fresh, insightful ideas and an incredibly hard worker, making my job easier as an editor. Her attitude is ceaselessly positive and perseverant. She regards each project with great care and thorough attention to detail—going above and beyond to ensure quality results. Her awareness of and curiosity for wellbeing and mental health-related topics, paired with her intuitive grasp of new concepts and eagerness to roll up her sleeves has made her an invaluable asset to my company. I would highly recommend Margarita for any project!”

— Elior Moskowitz, associate content manager at meQuilibrium.com

“Margarita is one of the most talented and efficient writers I know. She synthesizes research and experts quotes so seamlessly that it looks easy. Every piece she writes is done with great care and skill. She intuitively knows which topics will generate more attention, and her organizational skills are impressive. She is an experienced writer and journalist that has an impressive following. She's one of my favorite writers on the web.”

— Therese Borchard, mental health writer, advocate, and author of Beyond Blue

“I have worked with many journalists, bloggers and writers over the years, but none wrap their hearts around a subject and prose more than Margarita. She goes beyond just writing a story – instead she carefully crafts a piece that informs the reader with uncomplicated language, relatable examples and scientific data. It’s these qualities that make her a stand-out!”

— Dr. Deborah Serani, psychologist and author of Living with Depression

“I love Margarita’s pieces. I handed a recent article to three clients so far and out of the three...two immediately had tears of empowered joy in their eyes. I simply cannot say it enough—she's amazing at what she does. She takes higher level clinical concepts and quilts them together in a way that resonates with both mental health professionals and clients.  I teach grad school as well and share all her articles with my students, and I’m not kidding what I state that they have noted the usefulness in the end of term teaching evaluations, making me look good left and right! We need more open discussion about mental health and self-care, and her work is helping that agenda.” 

— Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega, psychologist and professor

“I have always admired the beauty, creativity, and careful attention that Margarita brings to her writing and projects. Her ability to create a nurturing and love-filled environment with her words is spellbinding, and it is no wonder that she has been able to use them to cultivate an online orbit so profoundly supportive for those on the journey to love themselves. Her personal writing is quietly brilliant and gorgeously inviting, interwoven with the full-breadth of her varied interests and inspiration. I absolutely cannot wait to see what she cooks up next.”
