Headspace acquires inclusivity-focused mental health app

Shine, an app designed to make mental health and wellness more inclusive, was acquired by digital mental health company Headspace Health.

Shine was founded in 2016 and offers content including guided meditations, self-care courses, personalized support and virtual workshops.

The app's co-founders and co-CEOs, Marah Lidey and Naomi Hirabayashi, are taking on leadership roles on Headspace's product and marketing teams, respectively, according to a Sept. 8 news release from Headspace. 

"We're thrilled to join Headspace Health to scale the urgent work of closing the equity gap in mental health — something Naomi and I have often felt firsthand," Ms. Lidey said in the release.
