“My story begins in when I was 7 years old, since then I have battled with extreme allergies, including some but not limited to shellfish, peanuts and tree nuts, and various fruits and vegetables. Being the youngest child in my family my mother had never experienced this extreme of allergies with any of my other siblings, ( For context, I am the youngest of twelve) so she took me to the doctor and tried to find answers. This is where my trouble started, the doctor told her since there were no fruits and vegetables that I could eat, to instead eat any food that was highly preserved.
My mom was skeptical because what part of processed foods are healthy to feed your child, but this being what felt like her only option, she did as the doctor recommended. For a while that worked, and through eliminating all of these foods out of my diet, I gained some fruits and vegetables back. It felt like I was on top of the world, until I wasn't. Once I turned 12 and went through that stage all young women go through with their bodies, I started having extreme food sensitivities again.
Only this time, it was things like, eggs, beef, pork, which I had been able to eat previously, so I found it incredibly bizarre. I had such horrible symptoms from eating these foods that I quickly stopped once I realized it was all linked. (Some symptoms were, feeling incredibly tired after eating, bloating, swelling, vomiting, nausea, and more) My diet became limited and limited until there wasn't much I could eat, and that worked, until it didn't.
Fast forward to when I was 15 or 16, after all of my issues with food it just progressed, I began experiencing issues with gluten. So like everything before, I stopped eating it and I had reduced symptoms, which wasn't great but it was better than I had been feeling. All of a sudden I had an extreme iron deficiency that was low enough I needed to go to the hospital for, which stopped me from being able to drive, because I couldn't control my sleep due to my lack of iron, leading to me to fall asleep behind the wheel.
Things stayed the same for my nutrition, sleep, stress, and many other things all throughout high-school and into the next couple of years. After about a year of eating gluten free, I stopped and just ate whatever I wanted, I figured if I was going to be in pain I was going to at least get what I wanted to eat. That attitude and repetive choice, just worsened my stomach, and things only progressed, it wasn't until Christmas of 2024, when I knew I had to take my health seriously if I ever wanted any kind of change. I also was not able to drive or get a job outside of the home for the fact that I could fall asleep at any momentthe fatigue was so bad and unpredictable.
In December 2024, I was sent a Facebook post from my mom and it was from one of her old students who talked highly about Golden May Wellness. As soon as I saw that post, I made an appointment and started the program in the January, my first week, I stopped bloating, having diarrhea, vomiting, and more issues that came just from simply eating. I began to have more energy, my skin cleared, I got more restful sleep, and overall I just felt better. I felt like a version of me that I haven't seen in a very long time, and I couldn't believe it. And most surprisingly, I am driving and i have a job outside of the home now! Huge improvement to my quality of life!
I couldn't recommend Golden May Wellness enough, with their help I finally have enough energy to work on growing my business, finally drive, and I feel like I have my life back that I didn't even realize I had lost. If you are struggling and you've seen doctor after doctor with no answers, I advise you, save your money, time, and peace, and go to Golden May Wellness.”

“Hi, my name is Moriah. 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.”

“All my life I had so much energy and it took a lot to get me upset. I never needed naps during the day, except after having a baby and all the sleepless nights that go along with that. But after getting extremely sick in December of 2020, my life completely changed for years. After that, I was easily exhausted, always felt tired by noon, and took a nap while my kids did in the afternoon. Coffee no longer gave me energy, but caused me to feel jittery and increased my irritability. I often felt more energy at night between 6/8pm. Some people telling me I had become a night owl, though I had been an early morning riser all my life.
I had also become easily irritated, which isn’t good when you have small children. I often yelled and couldn’t think rationally when faced with daily issues that arose. I felt depressed, hopeless to change and even considered ending my life on occasion. I had felt robbed of the life I once enjoyed and that my children deserved a better mother. For years I prayed for healing. For years I prayed for answers. Then, in the summer/fall of 2024 a friend of mine was experiencing what I would describe as random vertigo along with other issues. Months later she was better and invited me to a wellness workshop to introduce me to the lady that had helped her learn how to get back to normal.
I was amazed at the testimonies Athena presented. I was all in! I was diligent to get my husband and I a hair test ordered. I even followed everything Athena presented for us to do. My major issue was adrenal fatigue, which a friend had mentioned to me a year prior saying she thought I had. After a few days of the morning cleanse I was noticing a difference, but followed by a major discouraging bout of not feeling so great and tiredness. However, I pushed onward knowing it was probably my body detoxing toxins and would only last a week or so.
After that I was feeling more energy and was starting to be less irritable and calmer. However on occasion I would still get tired, but Athena was there to message and respond with encouragement. I rested when I could when tired and tried to really lighten my load for the last 2 months of the 90 day program. During that time, however, I lost 2 family members and my husband had surgery. I ended up completely falling off the plan. Everything was as it had been in the past. I did the hair re-test and I told Athena I felt it wouldn’t reflect all I had been doing before, but she encouraged me to not lose hope. My results showed progress! That test sparked a fire in me to continue on with the program.
I continued on past the 90 days for a total of 5 months doing what my previous hair test had recommended. I was feeling great! I felt back to normal! I had gotten my old self back, but improved! Month 6 I had circumstances arise that made it difficult to continue on with the plan. I was terrified of going back to how I had felt/been the last 4 years. However, I felt okay and nothing changed. I knew I was truly healed of adrenal fatigue and other things my test results showed. I can now eat however I want on occasion. I do have days I get tired during the day or perhaps am a little irritable, but those times are caused by regular life circumstances that were normal before I had experienced Adrenal fatigue. I am facing life head on with enthusiasm! I am so thankful that God answered my prayers in His timing and healed me through a path I would not have chosen.
I had to take the journey less traveled, but I am glad I did. I encourage everyone I meet with issues to check out Golden May Wellness.”
