Flowers, Fertility & Real Talk —
Dubai’s Women’s Wellness Morning
Inside the intimate Bvlgari Yacht Club gathering where Dubai’s leading women in health and wellness got honest about IVF, menopause, mental health, skin, and everything in between.
Some mornings just stay with you. The Bvlgari Yacht Club on Jumeirah Bay Island — all Gulf views and warm light — played host to something quietly special on 21st May 2026. A room full of women who have built careers in health, wellness, and medicine, choosing to spend a Thursday morning in honest conversation about the things that matter most.
No patients. No clinical setting. Just brilliant women entrepreneurs and innovators from across Dubai’s health ecosystem — gathering to learn, spark collaborations, and leave with something genuinely useful. Oh, and gorgeous flowers for every single person in the room. Because some touches are just right.
Setting the tone — expert talks that were warm, honest, and anything but clinical
Six Remarkable Organisations. One Shared Conviction.
The event was shaped by six leading voices in women’s health — each bringing distinct expertise, all united by the belief that women deserve better, clearer, more personalised care.
One of the world’s most recognised fertility specialists. Founder of NOW-fertility, currently at Orchid IVF and Medcare Women & Children Hospital Dubai. Named UAE’s Global Reproductive Medicine & Fertility Pioneer 2025. Over 20 years spanning IVF, egg freezing, endometriosis, and complex infertility.
Founded by Prof. Nardo, NOW-fertility’s Dubai clinic is among the GCC’s most advanced — triple-accredited, with an international team offering IVF, ICSI, fertility preservation, and remote consultations. Their promise: more IVF babies, less stress.
The first Dubai fertility clinic to partner with Northwestern Medicine, Chicago. Part of Waha Health, Orchid takes a whole-person approach — addressing the emotional and psychological dimensions of fertility alongside clinical treatment.
Founded by Dr Madina Khadartseva, a radiologist and oncologist, Delegata has delivered 5,000+ medical solutions across the UAE, UK, Israel, Switzerland, and beyond. A NOW-fertility partner — they handle everything so clients access world-class care without friction.
Custom wellness programmes built specifically for women — adapting to hormonal health, mental wellbeing, nutrition, and lifestyle by psychologists, nutritionists, and coaches. The first app that truly accounts for women’s unique, evolving needs.
A French pioneer in skin biology, with products prescribed by dermatologists worldwide. Their Photoderm XDEFENSE Ultra-Fluid SPF50+ uses the proprietary Cellular Bioprotection® patent — dual defence against UV and cellular damage, built for climates like Dubai’s.

What Filled the Room
🧬 IVF & Fertility — Start the Conversation Earlier
Prof. Nardo, NOW-fertility, and Orchid IVF anchored this discussion with a consistent message: fertility awareness shouldn’t wait for a crisis. Understanding ovarian reserve, cycle health, and options — egg freezing, IUI, IVF — is something women can explore at any age. The conversation tackled unexplained infertility, the emotional weight of treatment cycles, and what international patients specifically need to know about accessing care in Dubai.
Worth knowing: NOW-fertility and Orchid IVF both operate to international accreditation standards. For international patients, the UAE offers specialist-level fertility care without the waiting lists that make timing so costly elsewhere — and with Delegata’s concierge model, you never have to navigate it alone.
🌿 Menopause & Hormonal Health — Ending the Silence
Every woman will experience perimenopause — yet many feel under-informed when it arrives. The room had questions, and the experts had honest answers. Balansize’s AI wellness platform came into sharp focus here: their personalised approach to nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle (vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s — evidence-based, not trending) is exactly the kind of tool women in hormonal transition have been asking for.
✨ Skin Health — It’s Clinical, Not Cosmetic
Bioderma reframed something important: hormonal shifts throughout a woman’s life — pregnancy, perimenopause, stress — measurably affect the skin’s barrier, hydration, and healing. Their Photoderm XDEFENSE SPF50+ discussion opened a wider conversation about UV protection in Dubai specifically: high year-round UV index, air-conditioning dehydrating the skin barrier, and a documented gap in SPF use across diverse skin tones. Bioderma’s approach is clinical and inclusive — formulated in collaboration with dermatologists, not marketers.
🧠 Mental Wellbeing & Exercise — Same Road, Not Separate Lanes
Stress isn’t a lifestyle inconvenience — it has measurable hormonal consequences, affecting cortisol, oestrogen, thyroid function, sleep, and fertility. Exercise came up not as a weight conversation but as one of the most powerful mood and hormonal regulators available. Balansize’s model of building programmes around a woman’s actual life and cycle felt like a direct answer to everything discussed. The women in that room were running businesses and navigating complex lives — they needed practical tools, not generic advice.
The kind of connections that happen when the right people are in the same room
This wasn’t a conference. It was a conversation — the kind women have been needing to have, with the people actually qualified to answer.
Beautiful setting, warm company — and flowers for everyone on the way out
