Reimagining women’s health 

A New Lens on Women's Health

Freya™ is a clinical-stage company taking an innovative approach to women’s health, with microbial immunotherapies aimed at relieving the chronic inflammation underlying a range of reproductive system diseases uniquely afflicting women.

Insufficient research and limited treatment options for infertility and endometrial disorders means women – and their families – are often left struggling for answers. At Freya, we’re united by a relentless drive to advance innovative solutions and provide real hope and viable new treatment options for women around the world. 

Our Mission

To redefine fertility for those previously deprived of options.


Our Vision

To Create a future where everyone is empowered with optimal reproductive health. We pioneer groundbreaking advancements to foster a world where all couples can realize a path to building a family.
