Autoimmune and Stress

I'm stressed at the moment, and my body knows it and is reacting to it.

I’m doing all self-care, meditation and I know I can calm my body and mind. If you live with autoimmune diseases then practices such as meditation, mindfulness, yoga, pilates can be important tools for us to have and use.

Being in a chronic state of stress truly breeds disease, especially autoimmunity and inflammation.

Everyone manages their stress differently, but to add a little relief into your life try these:

  • Implement Deep Breathing

  • Have Fun Exercising

  • Practice Yoga

  • Get a Massage

  • Create a Meditation Practice

  • Make Art

  • Spend Time With Loved Ones

Do you have any ideas that we should add to this list?

As a Health Coach, I help my clients with many of these items. It’s important to their health and that is important to me.

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.
