Moriah Hawks:
Hi, my name is Moriah Hawks. I want to share my experience and testimony since discovering health and wellness coach Athena May and having amazing results with the epigenetic hair analysis. My husband and I have an almost six-year-old along with a recent addition to our family, plus three babies in heaven. As I write this, my nearly three-month-old baby boy is sleeping. Whenever I think about him or start writing, I am flooded with emotions.
He was the reason I sought out Athena. He is an answered prayer! My husband and I both wanted more children, but after two back-to-back miscarriages and struggling to conceive, I began searching for answers. I started this journey in January or February of 2024 with traditional blood work and labs. Everything came back “normal,” but I still had no answers to the question, “Why can’t my body support a pregnancy?” For the next several months, I took the natural supplements suggested by my nurse midwife and tried to figure out what my body needed, but I felt lost.
Then I discovered Athena’s health coaching practice, Golden May Wellness. I knew her in passing from church and had become “Facebook” friends. I saw her posts about her business, where she aimed to help clients improve their health and lives. I messaged her with some questions and decided to dive into the process in July 2024. On August 16, 2024, I received my epigenetic hair analysis report, which highlighted areas that needed attention—insights that my blood work had missed.
According to the hair report, my body was fighting a low grade chronic viral load and dealing with adrenal fatigue, which were significant issues that required change. Changing my diet was challenging, but I was committed to improving my overall health and well-being, hoping this would be the key to achieving a full-term pregnancy. Athena educated me about these discoveries and coached me through the report findings empowering me to choose for myself what I felt I needed to do. I started cutting out eggs, gluten, and dairy, along with other items identified in the report.
I believed that these changes helped my body heal faster. I believe I started the food changes on August 17th, on August 25th I started one of the smoothie protocols she shared with me. By September 5th, I began to feel a difference. It was incredible how quickly I started to feel better. My inflammation was decreasing, and I was sleeping more soundly. I was feeling good! My body felt younger and healthier. Fast forward to September 29—I found out I was pregnant! It happened so quickly I was surprised and speechless! At first, I couldn’t believe it. I felt apprehensive yet hopeful, unsure if this pregnancy would last. Each day was a step of faith, trusting God for His provision.
The weeks turned into months, and every day I would wake up uncertain if we would meet our little miracle earthside, yet holding onto hope that we would. Pregnancy after loss is beautiful, yet it is such a challenging experience. It’s filled with a mix of emotions—sadness from previous losses, joy, worry, cautious optimism, hope, and the silent holding of your breath. Your heart is excited yet cautious, not wanting to get too attached while yearning to embrace the journey fully.
I prayed for strength to face each day, learning to trust Him while cherishing every moment with our growing baby. The 20-week ultrasound was a beautiful experience. We got to see our little one, who was healthy and growing! We were thrilled to learn we were having another boy. Baby number two was born on June 5, 2025. God answered our prayers and heard the cry of my heart. I am profoundly thankful for this tangible reminder of answered prayers. It’s hard to fathom that we worship a divine, all-powerful God who is greater than our understanding, yet He becomes tangible in our lives—through answers to health issues and the prayers for a successful pregnancy and birth. I thank You, Lord, for the blessings You have given me, and I pray I remember each blessing and answered prayer every day as I look into the beautiful faces of my children.
I am also grateful for Athena and her encouragement and support throughout this journey. While God is our divine healer, I believe He uses tools and people to facilitate healing. For anyone reading this who is dealing with health concerns and feels unsure or overwhelmed about where to start, I highly recommend reaching out to Athena May in her business Golden May Wellness. Having someone to walk alongside you while seeking answers is incredibly helpful and refreshing.
I truly appreciate having a wonderful woman and friend who is quick to answer my questions and who prayed for me as we took each step toward better health. While one could say this chapter is now complete, it’s just the beginning. I will continue to use the tools and resources I have gleaned from Athena, learning to listen to my body and adjust my eating habits accordingly. I plan to retest to see how my body is after having our baby and to learn what new areas need support. Maybe this will be the beginning of your journey as well—God bless.
