preservation of health

‘The preservation of health is easier than the cure for Disease’ BJ Palmer

Such a simple statement but one that packs a powerful message.

Why is it we don’t think of our lifestyle, our food, our surroundings when we look at what is happening with us?

This quote speaks to me because perhaps if I had realised earlier that I had food intolerances, I could have been careful with what I ate and then I would not be faced with the autoimmune diseases that I live with. The cure I was eventually given was a pill to be taken for the rest of my life. Several years in and it felt like I was poisoning myself with the tablets. They kept me stable and my autoimmune disease under control but I started to wonder if I had another path of healing open to me.

Thanks to a team of wonderful Doctors I experimented with changing my diet. I was amazed at the results and with my Doctors monitoring me I could come off my lifetime of medication. Today I’m a Health Coach supporting others with autoimmune diseases.

Preservation is easier and also cheaper than the cure for the disease. It is life-changing and energising and I wish I had thought of it earlier. It would have saved me years of frustration and pain.

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.
