Glowco was founded by CEO and Co-Founder Sarah Haldane alongside her close friend Josie Gardner, born from a deeply personal journey that began during what should have been one of the happiest times in Sarah's life her first pregnancy.

Sarah wasn't ashamed to admit that those first few months of pregnancy weren't what she'd imagined. The excitement of expecting her first child was overshadowed by overwhelming anxiety that seemed to come from nowhere. Night after night, she'd lie awake with racing thoughts, watching the clock tick past midnight, 1 AM, 2 AM. She wasn't a first-time worrier, but this was something entirely different something that felt completely out of her control.

The sleepless nights continued into motherhood, and just when Sarah thought she'd figured out this parenting thing, life threw her another curveball. One of her children was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. Suddenly, she was watching her little one experience the same type of overwhelming feelings and bedtime battles she knew all too well.

The Search for Something That Actually Worked

Like countless parents before her, Sarah found herself at 2 AM desperately searching online for solutions. She tried everything weighted blankets that got kicked off within minutes, essential oils, meditation apps, breathing exercises, white noise machines. Some things worked for a little while, others not at all. She became that parent, asking for advice in every group, buying products that promised relief but delivered disappointment.

Then Sarah discovered acupressure therapy. Both she and her child started benefiting from it immediately. For the first time in years, they both experienced real relief from anxiety and sleep difficulties. But regular appointments were expensive and inconvenient, especially when relief was needed most urgently during those 3 AM meltdowns.

The Breakthrough Moment

During one particularly effective session, Sarah's therapist focused on a specific point in her palm the PC8 point, known in traditional Chinese medicine as the "Palace of Peace." The relief was immediate and remarkable.

That night, Sarah tried gently massaging the same point herself. It actually worked. She taught her child the technique, and the same calming effect happened for them too.

But Sarah realized they couldn't always remember to do it, and manual massage wasn't practical during the day when anxiety struck at school or in public. She kept thinking what if there was a simple device that could provide this same relief without requiring manual techniques or expensive appointments?

Bringing the Vision to Life

Working with her close friend Josie and a talented product designer from Australia, Sarah spent months developing what would become CalmCarry. Their goal was simple: create something families could use anywhere, anytime they needed natural relief without the awkwardness of manual techniques or the cost of regular appointments.

Today

Sarah's personal mission has now helped over 500,000 families worldwide find the natural relief they've been searching for. What started as one mother's desperate search for solutions has become a global movement, giving families the confidence that comes from having something that actually works during bedtime battles, stressful moments, or whenever anxiety decides to show up uninvited.

At Glow Co, Sarah and her team believe everyone deserves access to natural, effective wellness solutions that actually work. Because sometimes, the most powerful innovations come from understanding that someone else has walked the same path and found a way forward.
