Keep your face to the sunshine

Keep your face to the sunshine

‘Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.’ Hellen Keller

Covid-19 is on the rise again in Hong Kong. The limited time we have had with businesses slowly getting back to normal has been snatched from us as they all close down again for the safety of the population. I wonder at times if this is the new normal now? Will my children grow up wearing masks? I keep my self positive in the thoughts that my family are all happy and healthy and though we are far apart we live in an amazing technological world where my best friend or mum can be sat having coffee with me via FaceTime. Of course I would be rather sat next to them but at least we have this. I remember my relatives who live far away. It was only 45 years ago they would be excited by a letter which arrived via ship or if you were lucky air. News transferred between our families on cassette tape rather than telephone just so you could hear each others voices. Keep safe everyone, and keep your face to the sunshine.

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.
