Bloom where you are planted

Bloom where you are planted

Everyone is unique. We may wish our children would follow in our footsteps, but we are all destined to be unique, and we all have our path to tread. Some of us are creative; another mathematical and another has a scientific brain. Some of us love to play the fool or be on the stage, and others are planners and organisers. At school, I was always great at maths, but any language (even English) I struggled at! You can’t fight what talents we are good at or what we enjoy, but it’s fun to spend your time doing something that combines both. This is what I try to teach my children. It would be great if they had careers which meant they didn’t struggle with money and lived a life they aspire to, but I would rather they had careers they loved, that brought a smile to their faces when they woke each day and joy that they were doing it again for another day. If you have a career you love, then the life you aspire to is easier to achieve. Getting up in the morning to complete the task you love is joyful and that makes each day more comfortable. Bloom where you are planted and enjoy life every day.

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.
