May Peace be your gift at Christmas

May Peace be your gift at Christmas

As Christmas gathers pace, we often crave a little bit of peace in our life. It’s important to take time out to have some peace in your life, but also to pass peace on. Lots of charities offer gift cards where you donate your money as a gift for others. It’s a lovely gift to give children, and we started this tradition many years ago. The first year we had questions and statements about ‘where the goat is we bought’ or ‘why did we buy someone we don’t know a toilet?’ but that’s the beauty of these gifts. It gets younger children talking about those less fortunate than them. Peace can mean many things. It can be someone donating to a local food station, so others have some warm food and drink, or it can be the gift boxes that schools ask us to fill up with gifts for children less fortunate. These gifts passed can give someone some peace as for a moment in time they feel thought of and considered by someone they have never met.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
