Dora Toma is a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach specializing in women’s health and fertility. For her, everything all started with her own health struggles. First with managing her PCOS diagnosis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, then she went through a difficult pregnancy that lead to premature labor and loss. From that point, she decided to learn all she could about how to improve her health and optimize her fertility and be able to have a healthy baby. All these efforts paid off and she was able to give birth to a healthy and beautiful girl the following year. Seeing with her own eyes the lack of support that women receive when they are trying to conceive all the way to postpartum, she became a subject matter expert for other women who are going through this season in their lives.

* How trauma impacts fertility

A Note From Hannah

Trauma is a very difficult and sensitive subject - I know! I’ve personally been working through areas of trauma in my own life and have been blown away by how those experiences influenced various decisions over the years. Here’s the truth - trauma manifests in different ways for everyone. Sometimes, it’s difficult to identify the next steps in healing. Here are a few things I have found to be helpful:

* How the Body Keeps Score (Book)

* Ed Can Help - The most profoundly helpful resource I’ve found yet.

* Therapy in a Nutshell Podcast

* Whole Body Revolution (Youtube)

Of course, none of these resources are a replacement for a trauma-trained therapist.
