🌱✨ "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." E.E. Cummings

This poignant quote resonates profoundly with me as I reflect on my transformative journey to becoming a holistic health coach, all while navigating the complexities of coeliac disease and autoimmune challenges. The path I’ve traversed hasn’t always been easy, yet each step along the way has guided me closer to a deeper understanding of my body and embracing my authentic self.

Living with coeliac disease has imbued me with resilience, but the experience of witnessing my two children face the same diagnosis has been especially transformative. This shared journey has ignited a fire within me, inspiring me to convert my struggles into strengths. Not only has this empowered me, but it has also motivated my family and others facing similar challenges. As a dedicated health coach, I aspire to share my knowledge and foster a nurturing, supportive community where we can thrive together despite our adversities.

Every lesson learned is more than just knowledge; it becomes a valuable tool for personal growth. My commitment lies in guiding others to discover their unique paths toward health and vitality. By embracing our journeys, we equip ourselves with the courage needed to authentically become who we truly are. Together, we can celebrate our individual stories and uplift one another on our quest for well-being!

As a health coach, I aim to share knowledge and foster a supportive community where we can thrive together, despite our challenges.

Let’s embrace our journeys and courageously become who we truly are! 💪🌟

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.
