Balance + Glo – Corporate Wellness

Our Mission

To support and inspire people to create a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. Focused across our three pillars of wellness: MOVEMENT, NOURISHMENT, and SELF-CARE (known as the Balanced Method), we aim to empower people to find their Balance and get their Glo.

We want our members to feel supported to live healthy and fulfilling lives. We are not focused on fad diets or the latest wellness craze, instead it’s about making sustainable long-term changes.

We are here to offer guidance, encouragement, and accountability.

The B+G Story

Balance + Glo was set-up in October 2018 by Evelyn Joyce and Jenny Stewart. After hosting successful sell-out wellness retreats and special events, they set-up an Online Wellness Platform (Balance + Glo Online) in November 2020 to enable them to reach a wider audience and provide their clients with a constant holistic package of support that they could access irrespective of where they were based.

They now have over 200 Online Members, are the sole corporate wellness provider for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (supporting their workforce of over 180 members of staff), and have also delivered a number of bespoke corporate packages (including Redbull, classes for the NHS as part of their ‘Great Big Thank You’ Event, classes for Isle of Wight College, and corporate discount packages for island employers including UKSA, Tapnell Farm and The Tomato Stall).

• Being engaged in conversations around sustainability and informing our members of how they can make greener choices.
