Översättning från svenska, danska och norska till engelska, skönlitteratur, facklitteratur, barnböcker, korrekturläsning, docent i litteratur och översättning, internationellt certifierad amningskonsult. Hej! Jag är översättare från svenska till engelska, och ibland även från norska eller danska till engelska. Jag har översatt många olika texter, allt från barnböcker till kokböcker, noveller, dikter, avhandlingar, artiklar, reklamtexter med mera. Jag har till exempel översatt Sara Lundbergs Fågeln i mig flyger vart den vill och David Sundins Boken som inte ville bli läst. Det brukar kosta cirka 1.200 kronor per 1.000 ord, men det beror på texten och hur snabbt översättningen behövs. Förutom att vara översättare är jag även författare, korrekturläsare, docent i litteratur och översättning vid University of East Anglia, och internationellt certifierad amningskonsult (IBCLC) och doula. Kontakta mig gärna för att diskutera hur vi kunde arbeta tillsammans.

Breastfeeding/chestfeeding support and help. Lactation consultant. Doula. Swedish translator. Writer. Postnatal Doula As a postnatal doula, I provide emotional and practical support to help you transition to life with a new baby. What each individual or family needs is different, but examples of things that we might do include debriefing your birth, discussing feeding, recovery, parenting, emotions, baby care, the transformation that occurs at the arrival of a child, and anything else that is relevant. I provide information and signposting as needed, and can support breastfeeding, babywearing, sleep and other things. I can carry out baby care, and can help with light practical tasks, such as preparing a meal, pet care (if relevant) or shopping. I can also take care of your baby while work, shower, exercise, sleep or otherwise get a break. Postnatal doula sessions cost £35 per hour, with a three-hour minimum (travel expenses can also apply if you are outside Norwich). Please contact me for a no-obligation discussion of what I might be able to do for you.

Do Pregnancy, Birth Work and Lactation Support After the birth of my first child, I quickly grew to understand how vital knowledgeable, caring support can be. My own experiences during pregnancy, birth and lactation – and my gratitude to my wife and to the midwives and lactation consultant who helped me – led me to train to become first a breastfeeding peer supporter and then a breastfeeding counsellor. I became an advocate for the rather obvious idea that you should provide people with research-based evidence and then support them to make the decisions that work best for them and their circumstances. I started by supporting people postnatally, and then I added in antenatal support and birth work once I trained as a doula and also as a peer supporter and mentor for pregnant people suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. It should go without saying that it is your body, your baby and your choice, and I love working with people so they can feel supported and empowered to make the choices that suit them.
