Minneapolis, MN
Clara Johansson spent twelve years as a registered nurse in cardiac intensive care before swapping her scrubs for a laptop. Writing from Minneapolis, she now translates complex medical topics into content that patients and caregivers can actually use. Her clinical background gives her a sharp ability to spot misleading health claims and a deep respect for evidence-based practice. Clara writes about preventive care, navigating insurance, and the realities of chronic illness with warmth and brutal honesty. She still picks up shifts at a free clinic and serves on a local health equity board. Clara’s mission is the same it was at the bedside: make people feel informed, supported, and never alone in their healthcare journey.
