Genevieve is dedicated to providing the best customer service and patient care. Her no-nonsense philosophy has got her to where she is today, the owner of a bootstrapped brand that has been built from the ground up. Genevieve’s first egg retrieval took place just after her 21st birthday. She’d witnessed a relative go through the process of IVF and she was immediately drawn towards the cause. Having had two very impersonal experiences at a local agency in South African and One internationally with no emotional support, guidance or follow-up after the egg retrieval was complete, she sought out to find an agency that cared equally for the donor and future-parent. A trip to India for her second egg collection soon followed and proved to be an equally bleak experience. With little to no success finding a supportive agency, Genevieve embarked on the journey of founding her own, Traveling Donors. Starting with only 30 donors, sourced through Gumtree and Facebook, a small group with sufficient medical coordinators was secured. Having gone through many of the processes herself, she was and still is empathetic and dedicated towards ensuring the support of those undergoing the same processes. Personally, Genevieve has donated to four families across the globe and is responsible for 9 live births. Moreover, she has donated to the same family twice to provide them with a sibling to the first child. This small beginning led to the successful company that has been spread across multiple continents today, many of which she has lived in! Currently, Genevieve is set on achieving her vision of providing affordable and comprehensive care and support to South African women. She is a firm believer that the financial burden of freezing eggs should not be a hurdle in the process. She strives to create opportunities for all South African women to be able to afford to freeze their own eggs. In this day and age, she stands by the fact that women can have their cake and eat it. Be business women and mothers, choose their career without giving up the chance of having children one day. She has done something truly unique in creating an agency that embraces transparency of costs. She fully understands the complexities and emotional difficulties that accompany the process and it is for that reason that she does what she can to alleviate the financial pressure on future parents. Clients are also given full access to case managers at all times because the ultimate goal is to give future parents a happy, healthy baby.

She believes in tackling situations head-on and facing challenges with meticulous attention.
