About the Founders
This week it’s all about innovation and wellness! Our three founders from the InvestHer Directory all believe this combination is the the way forward when it comes to women’s wellbeing. Ciara Donlon started Theya Healthcare when breast cancer survivors regularly came to her for comfortable, functional and beautiful alternatives when healing after their surgeries. So she created underwear made from bamboo material that helps them heal better. Polly Rodriguez believes all women deserves to experience pleasure in a safe way and by creating beautiful, body safe vibes & accessories through Unbound she is determined to make it happen. Our final trailblazer this week is Joanna Griffiths, busy bringing revolutionary solutions to life through Knix and transforming an underwear market that had too much frill and not enough function.

1) Theya Healthcare
About Ciara Donlon

In 2010 Ciara Donlon opened her first business. Fast forward 20 years, this award winning social entrepreneur had put her management and marketing experience to good use and as the head of a successful lingerie retail business she recognised a gap in the market when it came to breast cancer survivors. A gap she decided she could help fill and serve all women from puberty to menopause with underwear made from innovative bamboo material.
“empathy, listening and fulfilling a need through sustainable innovation is at the core of our DNA”
What They Do
Theya Healthcare
designs and manufacturers patented bamboo post-operative garments that are clinically proven to heal and aid recovery for breast cancer survivors. As the needs of these brave women weren't being met, Ciara and her team decided to find a sustainable alternative that would and extended her line to serve women from puberty to post-menopause. It really doesn’t become more FemTech than this, founded by a woman, responding to the needs of women.
