Sometimes hard things can transform into the seeds of something new and beautiful. The story behind Mohana is no different. Three years ago, our founder, Dora, found out that her mother had ovarian cancer. Her health journey alone with PCOS was nothing compared to seeing a loved one go through this experience. Many of us learn to master the art of treating our symptoms as normal, just because "others have this too". But when you witness first-hand what untreated symptoms can escalate to, it is hard to accept that.
While we could speak volumes about the pain that led us to create Mohana, the real takeaway perhaps lies here: Every woman should have a chance to turn their health around when it is still early, not treat symptoms as normal, and feel empowered to make their symptoms heard.
