About us

How do you actually start living a life that feels like your own? That's the question we were asking each other before Helthea existed. It sounds wonderful when someone says it. But how does it work in everyday life? That's something nobody showed us. Instead, we functioned, and that worked surprisingly well for a long time.

Maybe you're reading this in the evening, phone in hand, tired from the day. You say yes when you mean no. You give your best and still think it isn't enough. The pressure costs you energy and sleep, and the people closest to you get what's left.

We know that feeling.

Knowing alone changes little. You probably already know what would do you good. The hard part is everyday life: where do you start when there's hardly any time? That's exactly why we, Diana and Daria, built Helthea, an app that goes along with you in everyday life. You recognize the patterns behind your stress and learn, step by step, to handle them differently.

Behind it is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a modern form of behavioral therapy, developed together with psychologists. You can read more in our sources.

Your worth has nothing to do with perfection. You can have big goals and still be kind to yourself, even on days when nothing works. You don't have to turn your life upside down. Five minutes a day is enough to begin.

And honestly: we don't manage this every day either. There are weeks when we ourselves are rushing through life again. Helthea doesn't promise you perfect calm. It's a way back to yourself that you're allowed to take again and again.

We're building Helthea for the version of us who needed it two years ago. And for you.
