French translator in South Australia
Australian legal documents • Marketing, editorial content • Certified translations
Qualifications • Reliability • Peace of mind
Born and bred in France,
I now live in
South Australia.
A qualified translator, I focus on
Australian legal documents and marketing/editorial content.
As a NAATI-certified translator, I can
deliver certified translations for official purposes.
Two languages and two cultures
I have been living in Australia with my Australian husband since 2002 and I am still deeply French at heart. Translating from English into French is part of who I am, practicing both languages and navigating both cultures on a daily basis.
Working together
As a French native speaker and professional translator living in Australia, I help:
- small and medium businesses sell their products and services to a French audience through the translation of their marketing, editorial or web content ;
- legal practitioners get the French translations they need, professionally done, certified if needed, within the time frame we have agreed on;
- individuals navigate the intricacies of certified translations.
I especially like to work with businesses:
- involved in well-being: physical, mental, emotional or environmental (for example: organic cosmetics and food, permaculture, sustainable tourism);
- interested in creative ways of rising to our environmental challenges;
- supporting people to live a fulfilled life, find and express their own voice (including neuroplasticity, coaching, yoga, mindfulness, etc.);
with a focus on sustainability and consciousness.
I have found that peace of mind makes me more efficient as I can then focus on what is important, for my clients and for my business. Translations fit for purpose. Agreed deadlines met. Communication when needed.

How did it start?
I landed in Australia in 2002 with my Australian husband-to-be. After making the most of our life in the South of France, enjoying the wonderful lifestyle, landscape, and light, now was the time to start afresh. A daughter and a dream later, I decided to combine my corporate experience, cultural awareness, knowledge, experience in translation, and my love for the French language to create my boutique translation business.
To find out how I can help with your French translations,
And now?
I am curious by nature (dubbed “Miss Why” by my grand-mother), and I like to keep learning and to go deeper in some topics. I like to understand how things work.
I am especially interested in areas linked to well-being, organic cosmetics, aromatherapy, organic produce, permaculture, sustainable tourism, neuroplasticity, coaching, entrepreneurship, efficiency, as well as everything that helps people live a fulfilled life, find and express their own voice while respecting our planet.
Having lived in France and Australia, I have also developed an interest for their different legal systems, which has lead me to study legal translation.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, practicing yoga, walking, traveling to France, reading, listening to podcasts, keeping abreast with what is happening in France, and simply enjoying life. I also appreciate good food and wine!
