Hosted by:
Leia Swanberg, Founder and CEO of Canadian Fertility Consulting and Egg Helpers.
Leia is a mother to five, a two-time gestational surrogate, and a six-time egg donor. She began Canadian Fertility Consulting and Egg Helpers in 2007 after her second surrogacy, with the intention of creating a more rewarding experience for surrogates, egg donors and Intended Parents. With a background in business development and management, Leia turned her personal passion for alternative family building into a full-time business. Leia believes that surrogacy and egg donation is more than a medical transaction—bringing one’s child into the world through surrogacy and egg donation is a milestone that deserves to be honoured and celebrated.
