A mother of four, Ann specializes in writing and speaking about parenting, speaking to groups of parents, and teaching parenting courses and workshops that focus on various aspects of pregnancy and parenting. Her areas of interest include creativity and motherhood, pregnancy rites of passage, the transition to parenthood, preconception health, conception, fertility, the emotional implications of miscarriage and stillbirth, relationships during pregnancy, planning your babymoon, sex and relationships after baby, modern motherhood, child care reality gap, parent anxiety, juggling work and family, work-life balance issues for both moms who work outside the home and moms who are working in the home, how to get off the stress treadmill, raising politically literate kids, parenting in the age of the poverty gap: what "have" kids need to know, and other issues of concern to today's generation of parents. Ann writes and speaks with integrity, refusing to offer quick fixes to complex problems or one-size-fits-all solutions.

Ann writes the newly launched Yahoo! Parenting blog at Yahoo! Canada Lifestyle. She is the "Misconceptions" columnist for Conceive Magazine, the "Compendimom" columnist for Glow and was, for a number of years, a pregnancy and parenting course leader for WebMD's highly popular WebMD University course offerings. She contributes to numerous other parenting-related media in both Canada and the US, and has been featured in The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the L.A. Times, The National Post, The Globe and Mail, Parenting, Parents, Working Mother, Good Housekeeping, American Baby, Baby Talk, Junior, Today's Parent, Canadian Living, Chatelaine, and numerous other publications. A popular radio, television, and live chat guest, she is frequently invited to talk about the state of motherhood circa 2007 -- what's really going on in the lives of mothers today.

Ann has worked as a freelance copywriter for Women.com on mom-focused campaigns designed on behalf of such clients as Toyota, Kraft Foods, Procter and Gamble, and Crayola. She has worked on similar projects on behalf of Netscape/AOL (writing the copy for an online pregnancy course for the Online Learning Center) and such leading brands as Cheerios, Sunlight, Ford, Quaker Oats, and Diaper Genie. She has contributed to Homebasics (Unilever's consumer magazine); Glow (Shopper's Drug Mart's health and beauty magazine); Glow Health (Shopper's Drug Mart's health magazine); and Spree (Zellers/HBC's magazine for moms).
