Nadine M. Woods is the Creative Director and CEO of Mayana Genevière™ Inc., an innovative high luxe intimate apparel lifestyle brand dedicated to celebrating and supporting women in motherhood. Following the birth of her daughter in 2009, Nadine was introduced to the world of nursing bras and shapewear out of necessity. With extensive research and prototyping, Nadine developed the patented ALUXTRA™ clasp-free nursing technology a signature feature found in every nursing bra. Her comprehensive collections are designed to align the look and feel of high fashion lingerie with the fit and function of maternity undergarments.

As the creative visionary, Nadine manages and oversees all aspects of the business including the design and development of each garment as well as branding and marketing of the company. Nadine works closely with a broad spectrum of professionals, especially those whose expertise is to facilitate the transition from birthing to motherhood with a focus on a mother’s needs. True to her socially responsible nature, Nadine is also the founder and executive director of Maternal Goddess®, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing postnatal maternal health through education and awareness of the changes and challenges women experience post-birth.

By connecting women to important resources, she believes a well-prepared family, creates a strong mother whose impact extends to a deeper and meaningful connection in her relationship with herself and others. A combination of first-hand and industry expertise, has fuelled Nadine's desire to cultivate and enhance the intimate beauty of women post birth.
