the secret ingredient is always love

the secret ingredient is always love.

Whether it is your work, your friendships, your hobbies, or your exercise regime, the secret ingredient to them is love.

If you love what you do then you will want to do it! It’s worth getting up for the run, or for the early shift at work. It’s worth getting out of bed for that breakfast date with your friends or staying up late to complete the work on your latest artistic masterpiece. With love, things become easier. You look forward to spending time with them, completing them and learning from them.

I love my work, but it took 25 years since I left University to find something that I love to do. I love my friends, and living in Hong Kong is hard. I miss them as much as our family and of course, covid has made that harder as our trips back home weren’t possible. With love though the time of part has been slightly easier, and I’m looking forward to the time that I can celebrate being with them.

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.
