About us
At Go&Glow, we believe wellness is best found in community. What started in 2023 as a small walking group with just 100 people at our second walk has quickly grown into Edinburgh’s largest women’s wellness community. Today, we host events every week to support women’s mental and physical well-being, offering safe, welcoming spaces where you can connect, grow, and thrive in a way that feels right for you.
We’re passionate about creating regular opportunities for our community to experience Go&Glow in meaningful ways. Whether it’s a mindful walk, a movement class, a creative workshop, or a seasonal social, every Go&Glow event is designed to inspire connection, confidence, and an inner glow.
Our history
Go&Glow began in 2023 as Girls Who Walk - a small walking group, bringing together women in Edinburgh to meet, move and connect. Through countless conversations on these walks, we quickly realised that there was a bigger need - women wanted more spaces to show up for themselves in all kinds of ways, not just physically, but mentally, socially, and creatively.
Within just a few months, we were hosting events every week, creating regular opportunities for women show up for themselves and each other. To reflect this evolution, we rebranded in 2025 as Go&Glow, expanding beyond walks to become Edinburgh’s largest women’s wellness community.
Today, we continue to host numerous weekly events designed to support well-being, foster meaningful connections, and create safe, welcoming spaces where women can thrive.
Founder's story
As someone who struggled a lot with anxiety, I found it incredibly difficult to make friends as an adult especially without fitting neatly into one category. When I started university in Edinburgh, I noticed a real lack of spaces for women to show up as themselves, connect with others, and do something fun together. Many existing events felt formal, inaccessible, or financially out of reach.
From personal experience and hearing similar stories of others I was inspired to create Go&Glow, a space where women can show up as they are, without feeling like they need to fit into one single category. Making our events easy to walk into is incredibly important to me because I know how intimidating it can feel to join something new. I want every woman to feel genuinely seen, supported, and able to show up for herself.
