Nikki Wehmeir is a Texas transplant living in California. She has dedicated over 10 years of her life to assisting and supporting Intended Parents during what can often be one of the most difficult times of their lives. She thinks it’s incredible to watch a team of “strangers” come together for the singular goal of helping someone become a parent. She has two kids of her own (one in elementary school and one in college) and can recollect the very second, she saw their faces for the first time. Helping others experience that feeling is probably at the top of her list of reasons why she loves her career. Both of her nephews are here thanks to IVF, and she has many friends who have used IVF, donor eggs, and/or surrogacy to have their children. Her experience in this field has given her the opportunity to be there, not only for our Intended Parents but for those in her personal life who are on a journey that can often feel lonely.

Nikki is one of the original members of the SEEDS Conference Committee (The Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy), which began in 2012. In 2019, she was selected for a uterus transplant trial to donate her uterus to a woman born without one. For her, it was just another way to share the opportunity with someone to hopefully experience seeing their child’s face for the very first time. When she is not working, you can usually find her at a field watching her son play a variety of sports, hanging out with one of her four dogs, or enjoying an evening of catching up on her favourite shows.
