Tamra Mercieca

Tamra Mercieca writes a weekly column for BayFM.com.au on health, lifestyle and balance.

She comes to us with a wealth of knowledge after becoming an advocate for Lifeline, following the publication of her first book The Upside of Down: A personal journey and toolkit for overcoming depression. More recently she used herself as a guinea pig for her book Getting Naked: The Dating Game, which explores the relationship we have with others and ourselves.

Her articles have been published in various health publications such as The Daily Telegraph/Herald Sun’s Body and Soul and Women’s Health and Fitness magazine. She also pens a coaching column in Nature and Health Magazine called ‘Ask Tamra’ and the Getting Naked column in Femme Fatale magazine.
