Love is always before you

31 Jan

‘Love is always before you.’ Andre Breton

I love the opening scene of the film ‘Love Actually’. My husband has spent his entire life as a pilot, and I love airports. When friends and family came to visit us here in Hong Kong (this hasn’t happened for two years now), part of the enjoyment of seeing them was picking them up. Seeing all the smiling happy faces at the arrival gates and the moment you spot your loved one before you.

We all have dark moments in our lives. The last two years have been difficult for many of us, and we all have our stories we can tell. However far apart from my family, I am however, homesick, I find myself (especially true at the moment as it has just been my birthday, my eldest’s birthday and my dad’s birthday). I hold in my heart that Love is around us and before us.

I’m looking forward to that moment when we next touch down in London Heathrow. I know in my heart when that happens, it will be my final journey out of Hong Kong, and I will be going home. I will walk through the arrival gates, and Love will be Before Me.

We may have to look for Love and remind ourselves but, Love is always before you.

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.
