Don’t Wait

Don’t Wait!

“If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.” This quote resonates deeply in the context of navigating autoimmune diseases and embracing a gluten-free lifestyle. For many individuals with conditions like coeliac disease, the journey can feel overwhelming, prompting a tendency to postpone necessary changes until we feel fully prepared.

However, waiting for the “perfect” moment can lead to missed opportunities for healing and growth. For those managing autoimmune diseases, living gluten free isn't merely a dietary choice; it’s a vital step towards reclaiming health and vitality. By taking proactive steps today, even if they feel scary or uncertain, individuals can begin to feel empowered rather than stuck in a cycle of inaction.

Living with coeliac disease requires immediate and sometimes drastic changes to our eating habits and lifestyle. Yet, these changes can also open doors to discovering delicious gluten-free alternatives, fostering a positive relationship with food, and connecting with a supportive community. Instead of waiting to feel entirely ready – which often may never come – the key is to start small. Each step towards a gluten-free diet is a step toward improved health and wellbeing.

Moreover, embracing the journey of holistic health artistry can enhance this transformative process. Engaging in creative therapies and mindful practices can offer a delightful distraction from the challenges, empowering you to express emotions, reflect on your journey, and find joy in the present moment.

So, let’s not wait until we feel ready. Instead, let’s take that courageous leap today. Begin your gluten-free journey, explore therapeutic artistic practices, and optimise your health – because life awaits, and it’s filled with possibilities for those willing to embrace them.

Don’t Wait!

If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.

When you wait, the rest of the world is moving quickly towards their goals and the vision for their lives.

My challenge for you is that each day you take one step in the direction of what you want to achieve.

Some days these steps will be small and other days they will be leaps. What is important is that we keep moving forward! Deal?

Don’t wait till you are ready.

Start today.



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.
