Our vision

What sets Gaia apart is our commitment to our mission: ensuring that everyone that wants to have a child should have a chance to try. The company’s founder, Nader AlSalim, realised how challenging the IVF process could be after he and his wife went through

IVF treatment to build their family. Today, Gaia helps people with more than financing and protection: Members get 6 sessions of complementary counselling, the opportunity to talk to an independent embryologist, access to support groups, and invites to in-person and online Member events.
