Life begins at the end of your comfort zone

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone

Comfort zones are attractive. They are everywhere and infiltrate every aspect of our life. From how we complete items at work, to how we clean our houses, get dressed in the morning or do our weekly shop. To step out of that comfort zone can be unsettling. To try something new for dinner, or step out of a routine can be challenging. When was the last time you tried a different type of coffee at your local coffee shop? You can make changes every day, and they don’t have to be huge. They can be small changes, but each small change over a period of time can make a massive difference over the course of a month, a year, five years. What if you decided to clear one shelf or cupboard a day? Try one new food every week? Order a different drink when out with friends? Start the online learning course you have promised yourself for several years? What if you visited a new area around where you live once a month? You may find new friends are found on that course, new food or drink is enjoyed, and you have fun at the new place you visited. Maybe these small changes, added up will mean your life dramatically changes over a year. Where do you want to be in a week? In a month? In a year? In five years? Maybe instead of looking at the broader picture, you can break it down into daily tasks that will help you achieve your goal. I found my life began when I stepped outside from my comfort zone. It was unsettling but so worth it.

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.
