live in the moment and make it beautiful

Live in the moment and make it beautiful.

Do you get caught up thinking about the past or planning for the future and missing what is in front of you.

It can be hard to live in the moment. When we stop though and think about what we are doing at this second. What our family are doing as we read this or as I write this. Do we miss out on time with friends and family because I am caught up in something. A few years ago I took the step to switch my phones and tablets off an hour before bedtime, and not switching them on immediately as I got up. I decided to put my device face down if someone is talking to me or wanted my attention and to try and be in the moment with them. When I fail to do this I realise I am missing the moment with them. The moment that I will never get back and this simple act of turning my phone off or placing it down has made such a change not only to me but also to my family and to the friend who is talking to me. I feel calmer, happier and more peaceful.

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.
