Shine’s co-founders, Marah Lidey and Naomi Hirabayashi, created Shine after meeting at work and supporting each other through their own stress and anxiety.
Their belief: Getting support around your mental and emotional health should be easy and accessible for all.
Their approach: We’re stronger when we take care of ourselves together.
With a 4 million-strong community across 189 countries and an award-winning iOS and Android app, Shine is now the largest and most diverse group of people practicing daily self-care together.
