ABOUT | ELANZA Wellness

About

ELANZA Wellness is a female-founded team, led by Brittany Hawkins from San Francisco and Catherine Hendy from London.

They met in Cape Town, South Africa and started ELANZA Wellness after freezing their eggs. Their own experiences sparked a mission to help other women better understand their fertility and what evidence-based steps they can take to improve it.
