This is your chance to support women with hypothalamic amenorrhea to restore their periods naturally
About This Certification
As a Certified Holistic HA Practitioner, you’ll be able to confidently help women resolve amenorrhea.
This is an accredited program that will not only give you the credentials, but the confidence you need to fully step into your role as an Recovery Coach for women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (and even primary amenorrhea!)
In this program we teach you everything: from the science and physiology to the coaching techniques used to make different recommendations.
The program is an all encompassing of everything from what's going on under a women’s hood, how to intake a client, how to identify the issue going on in a woman's body and how to work on the soft skills and the mindset piece.
What sets us at The HA Society apart as coaches is that we have the tactical knowledge combined with the empathy, compassion and soft skills needed from years of coaching and counseling. This is what allows us to work with women to implement changes that actually stick.
This program will help you:
→ unlock what is holding women back from recovery from a mental and physical perspective
→ understand what is happening inside of the body hormonally and metabolically
→ build skills to tap in to the mind of women who fear weight gain and the many other challenges that women face in recovery
→ learn how to use the fertility awareness method as a diagnostic tool in HA
→ use actual metrics to gauge progress and build effective protocols for the women you’re coaching
→ develop effective nutritional protocols for women that go far and beyond the ‘just eat more’ methods
→ build a new stream of revenue or entirely new career driven by passion and helping others
→ work through tough clients and ask questions about building a practice through mentorship

FAQ
-
Rather than just briefly skipping over amenorrhea like most courses, we are deep diving in to this common and serious epidemic. Too many practitioners have little to no knowledge or experience with HA and similarly presenting menstrual cycle issues meaning that their clients often walk away empty handed or with an unnecessary prescription or fertility treatment referral.
If more practitioners knew about HA, the precursor symptoms and the aftermath effects and how to deal with it, they would be able to better help every single one of their clients regardless of their hormonal challenges.
-
This program is perfect for:
Healthcare practitioners, health coaches, wellness coaches and fertility coaches who want to broaden their knowledge and scope
Women who are going through recovery or are recovered with a special interest in making this a part of their career.

If you want to learn everything there is to know about how to help women with hypothalamic amenorrhea, fertility, overall performance and wellbeing, this course is for you.

“Thank you. Through our call and learning more from you and Ashley in HHAP. I felt so damn empowered and like I knew exactly what my body needed. There is truly no better feeling! I quite literally did/focused on exactly what you guys are teaching in HHAP, and it works. Can't wait to continue to help others!”
- Emily, Recent Graduate of the HHAP Program
We know our stuff – this is what clients say.
“Over the last 10 weeks, I went on a journey full of ups and downs (and lots of tears haha). I'm so thankful for the community that the HA Society provided, since I was able to bounce a lot of my thoughts/feelings/frustrations off a lot of the other girls in the group and both give and receive support. The weekly calls through the Restore program (when I could make them) helped me engage with others in actually talking out loud about issues like food rules, diet mentality, body image hang-ups, exercise rigidity, which was so helpful. Thanks for providing the food review as a part of the course- it was really helpful to have what I eat looked at from another person's perspective!”
- Stephanie
“I just got my 1st recovery period and had to share the news with you all!!! I honestly thought the day would never come as I’ve only had maybe two real ovulations/periods in my whole life when I was a teen before getting HA and pre birth control (and I’m now 31 yrs old). So if you’re that person thinking it will never happen for you, I wanted to share to say that yes it 100% can and will! Perservering through all of the tough moments is the hardest thing, but hte outcome is worth it! And this community is here to cheer you on every step of the way!
I am SO grateful to have had the support from this community (and Dani Sheriff and Ashley Smith) along the way! I’m continually inspired by everyone’s bravery, perseverance, vulnerability, wisdom, and support for one another! This is a special community,”
- Ali
“I’m in shock that I’m here ladies! Thanks Ashley & Dani for granting me access to this group :) Positive test this morning & VERY positive! Lol - thinking I’m 6 weeks. Yippppeeee!”
- Rhonda
“I was afraid to share this sooner as I thought I might wake up from a dream, but I got my first recovery period on Tuesday! I haven’t had a true, natural period since before I went on birth control in high school, so this is a major victory! I honestly didn’t think it would happen this quickly, but I am so glad it did. Keep the faith, keep fighting, and think positively about yourself and your potential if you stay on this journey. I know with certainty I wouldn’t have been able to do it without this community, so thank you for all the advice, experiences, and support!”
- Amanda
