Queer folks can face extra challenges when building their families. Financial barriers shouldn't be one of them.
That’s why Emma is offering pay-what-you-can genetic counseling services to the LGBTQ+ community for Pride month.

Meet Emma
Emma Moores is a board-certified genetic counselor who is a total nerd for fertility genetics. Emma spends her days using cute analogies to explain complex genetics topics, advocating for inclusivity in the fertility space, and using her white cis-lady privilege to be a thorn in the side of those in power.
Having a baby as a queer person can be complicated, expensive, and overly medicalized. At the same time, sometimes your healthcare team doesn't give you the info you're really looking for at this important stage in your life. A genetic counselor can help with all things genetics and family planning.
Here are some examples!
Choosing an egg or sperm donor (or both!)01
Review donor profiles, see if you want genetic testing or review your own results, and get help seeing which donor(s) feel like a good fit.
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) isn’t always straightforward. Emma will ensure you actually understand what the results mean for your embryos so you can move forward with confidence.
Understanding embryo genetic testing results and how to use that info02
Carrier screening, testing during pregnancy, and more!

Discuss genetic testing options for youReview your family historyIf you’ve ever been concerned about a health condition in yourself or a family member getting passed on to your kids, Emma can help you understand the chance that might actually happen (it’s usually lower than you think)

Emma’s pay-what-you-can genetic counseling is available to those located in Canada and select US states for June 2026.
This initiative is also serving as a trial run for DNAide's pay-what-you-can services. They hope to take what they learn and expand the PWYC program beyond Pride Month. Because marginalized communities need care every month of the year, not just in June.
