Maria T. Rothenburger, PhD, LPC is a Therapist and Coach specializing in fertility and family building.  When infertility reared its ugly head, Maria says she “went a wee bit crazy for 5 1/2 long years and one day spontaneously experienced profound joy.”  She states the struggle of infertility is what propelled her toward joy even before she was a mom!  She then became obsessed with finding out why she was able to feel so happy even amidst terrible trauma.  In fact, she believes it was because of the trauma.  Hence, her doctoral research focused on Posttraumatic Growth and Infertility (not the posttraumatic stress that is so prominent in the media). She has since made it her life mission to help others achieve the same growth she experienced.  Though she still practices traditional psychotherapy, her passion has become Fertility Coaching around the world involving a four-pronged approach - biological, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness - for movement toward optimal fertility, which she talks about in the Miracles Happen Fertility Podcast. http://www.drmariarothenburger.com     For more information about Michelle, visit www.thewholesomelotus.com For information on the Wholesome Fertility Method online program visit www.thewholesomefertilitymethod.com The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/thewholesomefertilitytribe  Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/
