WORKING
PARENTS

Parenthood inevitably creates more to think about; logistically, practically and emotionally. Parental coaching is a fantastic way to help you think about change and transition, set new goals and objectives and manage some of the challenges that may come along the way, particularly at the beginning of your journey.

Supporting parents in the workplace started out as a passion project for us and has become central to our offering here at Glow. We offer a number of different approaches specifically designed for working parents to create and deliver relevant and balanced support. We also work with existing parent groups and internal coaches who are looking to bring more to the table to help with maternity and paternity challenges.

After spending 10 years in the media industry and starting a family, Kathryn realised that the demands of her job were not in alignment with the life she wanted to live. With a love of food, health, and fitness, she decided to retrain as a Nutritional Therapist at CNM in London. She specialises in working with busy working men and women to help them achieve balance with their own health and that of their families.
