Maria Henson helps women overcome back pain, exhaustion, and fertility challenges by addressing hidden gut issues at the root. After walking through miscarriages, burnout, and chronic health struggles herself, she discovered the power of a holistic approach to healing. Now she guides women—especially those using natural family planning—to better understand their bodies, restore energy, and support healthy pregnancies. She lives in Missouri with her husband and four children.
For years, I thought being exhausted was just part of being a mom. After difficult pregnancies, miscarriages, postpartum depression, back pain, brain fog, and constant fatigue, I kept telling myself, “Just keep going.” I was taking care of everyone else while completely ignoring what my own body was trying to tell me. I felt exhausted and burnt out. We wanted more kids, but I remember thinking, “How can I possibly care for my family, let alone go through another pregnancy, when I can barely get through the day?”
So I did what most women do. I pushed harder. I tried everything - chiropractors, Chinese medicine, doctors, diets, surviving on caffeine and granola bars, and ignoring the symptoms. I’m sure you’re not surprised to learn that things continued to worsen. I kept thinking if I could just be more disciplined and try harder, eventually I’d feel normal again.
It was while doing research on my kids’ allergy and asthma conditions that I learned that my symptoms were not random… and they weren’t a personal failure. I was simply depleted. I started learning how gut health, hormones and nutrition work together — especially after years of chronic stress, antibiotic use, sugar-overload and malnutrition, which when you add in the stress of pregnancy, breastfeeding and miscarriages tips the scale. So instead of fighting my body, I began to support and nourish it. And slowly things changed. My energy came back. My cycles improved. The brain fog lifted. My pain decreased. I felt stronger, clearer, healthier, and we were even blessed with a healthy baby.
Now I help women who feel exactly the way I felt.

Before I worked with Maria, I was dealing with a lot of discouragement and hopelessness around healthy eating and physical movement. I was self-defeated and didn't think I could see a way out of the rut I was in. After working with her, I made progress in both areas and noticed changes in my mental attitude as well as my physical health. I went from thinking, ‘I can’t do this,’ to 'I can actually do this.' It gave me the empowerment to move forward and make progress. What I appreciated most was how personalized the coaching was. It wasn't a one-size-fits-all experience. Maria really listened and tailored everything to what I needed. I didn't expect to lose 20 pounds! But I think what surprised me more was the change in my self-talk. I never imagined that could improve, and now I feel empowered, hopeful, self-confident, energized, and optimistic.
