ANDREA HOSHMAND MCAFEE
FOUNDER + DIRECTOR
Andrea entered the world of assisted reproduction over twenty years ago as a three-time egg donor. The experience profoundly impacted her, and she maintains contact with her recipient families to this day. In 2008, she founded the Hawaii Surrogacy Center. Over the next ten years, Andrea established strong working relationships with every fertility clinic in Hawaii, as well as nationally and internationally renowned legal professionals specializing in family and assisted reproductive technology law. Upon relocating to the Philadelphia area with her family (it is her husband’s hometown), colleagues encouraged Andrea to establish a local sister agency, following the same highly personalized, successful approach that resulted in Hawaii Surrogacy Center being the leading provider of surrogacy services in her home state. Andrea is honored that so many Intended Parents have trusted her team to help complete their families. She is excited to bring this same service to the Greater Philadelphia area. Andrea is a graduate of Questrom School of Business at Boston University and the Maryland School of Public Policy. She is married to an Army veteran, has two girls and lives in Manayunk.

Christy provides health coaching to our gestational carriers throughout their surrogacy journey. From pre-transfer to postpartum recovery, she shares her knowledge of nutrition and mindfulness with our surrogates. Christy is a busy mom, health coach and founder of Dish You Well Health Coaching. Her passion for food started at a young age with cooking, creating recipes and of course eating. Christy never paid attention to, or even really valued the importance of proper nutrition until she was in her mid-20s. It was then that she experienced a weak immune system, anxiety, mood swings, digestive issues and PCOS. Fast forward 14 years later, zero signs of PCOS in sight, cycle is regular, anxiety still surfaces, but not nearly as much. Hers has been a journey filled with lots of small changes over the years. Eventually, Christy enrolled in the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute Master Health Coach Certification. It is her true passion to help others live a full, healthy, happy life.
