Mindshine is a digital mental health platform that helps you train your mind like a muscle, and feel better. Our 3-pillared approach will help you with powerful habit forming exercises, a peer-to-peer support community, and the education necessary to understand the science and principles behind the methods via audio, video and written articles.
There are over 1 billion people in the world with untreated mental health issues. Professional help can be inaccessible, inflexible, expensive, and daunting, and we believe a simple, accessible and fun solution can measurably improve the lives of all of them.
We help people suffering from light to moderate mental health problems. The most common issues include Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Poor self-esteem or low confidence, and low motivation.
Unlike other self-service platforms, Mindshine offers a holistic approach. This means there is a variety of sessions to choose from to suit your preferences.
Our app offers you guided coaching based on your goals. We support you in taking small daily steps with guided breathwork, meditation, journaling, sleeping techniques, cognitive reframing, visualisation, emotional processing, and more.
