We believe no woman should face a life transition alone or unprepared.
FemNEST brings health and money together, so women can prepare financially for the health and life moments that shape their lives. Founded in Cyprus in 2025, we map the gaps to practical financial outcomes. We are community-first, building with the women we serve.
I lived the gap between needing support and finding it.
My path here wasn't a neat corporate ladder. It was a series of turns I didn't see coming. Years in the corporate world ended in burnout, so I took my time back and went freelance. At the same time I was living with a lifelong PCOS diagnosis and going through fertility treatment.
When I finally held my son, the joy came with a new challenge. He was born with a medical condition that needed all of me. With no backup plan, I saw how quickly a woman's independence can start to slip, and I kept asking: why is it so hard to stay steady through the biggest changes of our lives?
The more women I spoke to, the more I heard my own story in theirs. Health, motherhood, a career shift: we're often one change away from losing our footing. Here in Cyprus, where women still face barriers like needing a spouse's signature for basic banking, I started the space I needed and couldn't find.
The right people, at the same table.
Serena brings the room together
She's a convener and designer. She finds the right people, shapes the conversation and makes sure every woman leaves with something. She isn't a financial, legal or medical expert. That's what the experts are for.
Experts bring the knowledge
People who know health, money, legal and work rights, and HR. And women who've lived it, who bring the part no textbook can.
Every time we meet, the next time gets better.
