Playing small does not serve the world.

Playing small does not serve the world

‘Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.’ Marianne Williamson.

Are you afraid to show who you are to family, friends or the world. Does your own fear hold you back from your potential?

It can be difficult to be yourself. It can be hard to inhabit your space, own your body and show the world who you are. It took me courage to start the websites, the Facebook pages and YouTube channels. My fear rises to the surface and holds me back if I listen to it.

Fear is great in some circumstances, as it stops us from getting hurt. Fear is not useful though when it holds us back from our potential greatness. I feel sad when I see how fear and anxiety has quenched potential greatness in people.

We can all be the change. We can be the change in ourselves and face our fear and stop playing small. We can bring to others what they are afraid of bringing to the table themselves.

Making the changes in my life was the best thing I ever did. I love being a Health Coach and helping others with autoimmune issues live a healthier and happier life.

Do not be ashamed of what lights you up. Don’t hide it away! Show the world who you are today.

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.
