Meet Gervase Fay Fernandes, co-founder and commercial director of Health & Her

Health & Her’s mission is simple – to revolutionize the way women access the best advice and innovative solutions to improve their health. We started in 2019 and have been busy making this a reality ever since.

How did you come up with the idea for the company?

We’ve spoken to many women about their symptoms and how much they affect their daily lives. The symptoms cause them to question their relationships, self-worth, and ability to do their jobs. It hit me hard.

We started Health & Her because we wanted something better for all women and to make sure that if we improve just one woman’s experience through our products and services, we give them the power back, then we’re doing a good job.

How has the company developed in recent years?

As a company, we have developed our offering to ensure we meet the needs of all women by offering our free app and content to ensure that every woman, whatever their situation, can access expert advice and manage their feminine health.

We recently launched a service to support employers in the workplace, allowing them to offer their employees access to a menopausal specialist as part of their benefits. We plan to further develop our services based on what our customers think is important to us.

What can we expect from Health & Her in the future?

Health & Her will continue to evolve and with 51% of the population going through menopause we still need to support many more women.

It’s important to understand that menopause can impact on so many levels. By empowering women to consider their bodies, minds and lifestyles—and providing them with the tools to enhance their experience—we hope to truly change lives for the better.
