Seems simple enough eh? I wish I had someone to help and guide me, 
when my brain fog was overwhelming,  
when the kids were having constant meltdowns, 
when I was questioning my sanity.  
If you need someone to hold your hand, I'm here for you. 

x Certified GAPS Coach Emma Goodwin

I can’t thank you enough for these inspiring classes, I am SO excited by all this.  My kitchen used to feel like a prison, but now I can’t get enough of it, delicious green smoothies, muffins and stock galore, my family is also delighted.  “Prison” makes me sound so sad! it’s the drudgery and servitude of endlessly producing family food… but I feel so energised in my relationship to food now and it’s potential to heal.”   Emily Blows
