Dreams don't work unless you do

Today is my birthday. I look back at the last year and am grateful for every day we have had. A year ago this virus called Covid, or Coronavirus was new and appearing from China. News reports of cities in lockdown emerged and borders suddenly closed. No one really understood what was happening or how much our lives would change in the coming twelve months. I decided to follow my dreams and I’m now a Health Coach. The children have had school at home via the internet, and I have been studying and working towards my qualification. It has been hard work to achieve my dreams but it was something I needed to do for myself, my family and others who struggle with auto-immune conditions. Having something to study and concentrate on gave me some stability and something to strive for in an otherwise hectic and insane period of my life.

Since I have changed profession, I feel that everything before was leading me to this point. All the knowledge I have gained previously has held me in good stead on the journey this year. My dream came true, but I have worked very hard to achieve it.

Today I am going to celebrate my birthday with my family and be grateful for the year we have had and for the many blessings in 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.
