I am beyond excited to share the news that Parla has been acquired by Holland & Barrett. This is a huge step in our mission to improve women’s access to health and wellbeing and normalise the often taboo topics that surround womens health – from infertility, pregnancy loss, our periods and beyond! I’ll share a lot more detail in the coming days about the exciting things we will be building together!
