100% Gluten Free, 100% Dairy Free

100% Gluten Free, 100% Dairy Free!

Gluten Free and Dairy Free because I’m Worth It! I’m not on a diet!

Living gluten-free and dairy-free can be difficult when you first start out. Our best intentions are to live 100% gluten-free and 100% dairy-free, but best intentions don’t always work out! There are always celebrations and events which come into our life, and with them, they bring temptations and choices. Sometimes the choices we make are not in our best interest, but one bad choice doesn’t mean we have to continue these bad choices.

I find when clients first change their diet, they often find it hard to stay living gluten free and dairy free. They know when they eat the wrong foods, it may affect them physically or emotionally but sometimes temptation outweighs the calculated knowledge.

I have been living Gluten-Free for over 25 years. It wasn’t easy and the variety of foods on offer were not as great as they are today. Sometimes I am still tempted to eat the wrong foods. Sometimes I eat them accidentally! I choose to live 100% gluten free and 100% dairy free. I have learnt what my triggers for wanting the food I shouldn’t eat are, and I try to keep snacks and meals in that comfort me and sustain me when those triggers occur. I have had to love to eat in a different way! It wasn’t easy and I am still learning. It’s worth the time and effort and mistakes!

If you feel like you need a helping hand on the journey then reach out and ask for help. We all had to start at the beginning of this journey and I totally understand how hard the journey can seem.

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

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.
