World-renowned healer and teacher Antonia Ruhl of Amazon Fertility has won the prestigious award in the 2025 Women Changing the World Awards.

Antonia Ruhl received the Wellness & Wellbeing Services Award and the People’s Choice Award – Health & Wellbeing.

The Women Changing the World Awards, presented by Dr. Tererai Trent, Oprah Winfrey’s all-time favourite guest, recognize women leading change in sustainability, humanitarian work, leadership, advocacy, technology, product development, education, health, and innovation. These awards honor those making a meaningful impact while inspiring others to act.

Dr. Trent describes the honorees as catalysts for awakening dreams and creating a brighter future, stating, “The rising of women is the awakening of everybody.”

Born in Brazil, Antonia spent over two years living in the Amazon jungle with the native Kayapo tribe and studied the art of healing with Amazonian herbs. In 1990, she opened the Natural Stress Therapy clinic in Melbourne at a time when most alternative therapies were relatively unknown in Australia. Antonia’s healing work focuses on healing the heart to restore health, vitality, and creativity. She empowers her clients to create the life of their dreams.

Antonia Ruhl is best known for her Amazon Fertility Program, which has helped many women, often in their mid to late forties, conceive naturally or alongside IVF treatment. Her program is based on the principle that, like a healthy tree that flowers and bears fruit regardless of age, fertility is a natural function of a well-balanced body. By focusing on restoring and strengthening the body, she has helped women achieve pregnancy even after exhausting all other options. One of her most remarkable success stories includes a 50-year-old mother whose pregnancy gained worldwide media attention. Unlike traditional fertility specialists who emphasize age-related decline, Antonia believes biological age, rather than chronological age, plays a greater role in conception and that it can often be reversed. The Amazon Fertility Program has an exceptional success rate, even with complex cases.

Antonia aims to raise greater awareness that fertility is a natural function of a healthy body, regardless of age. She empowers women by educating them about the resilience of their bodies and the ability to support their bodies through proper nutrition, exercise, and stress management. Beyond fertility, Antonia’s impact extends to helping clients overcome major health challenges, including assisting some to walk again and some to recover from terminal illnesses. She also assists women experiencing menopause by helping them nourish their bodies with what is needed at this transformative stage of life.

After a life-changing car accident in 2019 left her physically and emotionally devastated, Antonia relearned how to walk and manage chronic pain through her connection to Mother Nature, knowing what it needs to heal itself. By witnessing the impact she has on others and helping women achieve motherhood, Antonia’s passion for raising awareness about the link between health and fertility has been reignited after this accident. She is now dedicated to empowering women with the knowledge to support their bodies through proper nutrition, exercise, conscious living, and stress management.

“I am incredibly lucky God chose me to do the work I do, and I do it with lots of joy. I don’t know how I got so lucky to win the peoples choice award in the health and wellness category. I’m very grateful to all the people who helped me get there. A big thank you to my universal family”
