Hello, I'm Emma, a Holistic Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and a Certified Gluten-Free Practitioner.

I discovered my passion for health coaching after experiencing a life-changing transformation in my own health through various dietary and lifestyle adjustments. For many years, I personally struggled with autoimmune issues, food intolerances, and a multitude of health challenges that felt overwhelming.

This journey inspired me to create this platform where I can share valuable knowledge, inspire others, and provide unwavering support to help everyone pursue living their very best lives.

I am proud to be an active member of the International Association for Health Coaches, the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and the Complimentary Medical Association, where I continually seek to deepen my expertise and make a positive impact in the community.

Diagnosed at the tender age of 20 with a gluten intolerance, I had become so ill and distressingly thin that I made the tough decision to refuse gluten in order to forgo the biopsy that would confirm coeliac disease. Over the years, I have accumulated several autoimmune diseases and, through my personal journey since that initial diagnosis three decades ago, I've discovered that I am also intolerant to dairy products.

My health experiences a dramatic shift depending on what I eat and the lifestyle choices I make. The food we consume can have such a profound impact on our overall health, our state of mind, and how we feel about ourselves—both physically and emotionally. This realisation is precisely why I decided to become a Health Coach and earn my certification as a Gluten-Free Practitioner.

My mission is to help others who face similar challenges with health and autoimmune conditions. I received my Health Coach training from the esteemed Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I explored a wide variety of dietary theories alongside practical lifestyle coaching techniques. With this knowledge and expertise, I collaboratively create completely individualized action plans tailored to your specific goals, guiding you toward your ideal vision of health within the context of your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and available resources.

As a coach, I put the power back in YOUR hands.
