Press Release

Announcing the launch of Balanced - The Relationship App; finally a powerful daily routine to work on relationships, one of the most overlooked factors of mental and physical well-being.


May 16, 2023, Berlin - Today marks the start of a new day in the relationship wellness space. Wellness is a combination of taking care of your mind and body, but also the relationships around you. After taking a critical look at the therapy industry (specifically, couples therapy), combined with the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the erosion of many types of relationships, it became clear to Balanced’s founders, Nikos and Alex, that there needed to be a better way to make working on relationships fun, easy to do either alone or with your partner, and something we can practice every day. As a result, Balanced - The Relationship App, developed by Balanced Family UG, was born and it is now available to guide and support any relationship journey.

Exercise has long been seen as the daily routine for our physical health. More recently, meditation and mindfulness have been emerging as the daily routine for our mental health. But still, very little exists as a daily routine for our relationship health. The newly launched Balanced Relationship App fills this gap and provides research-backed content that can be listened to or read daily in an easy-to-use daily routine to improve relationship health. Healthy relationships have long been known to lead to improved health outcomes in both mental and physical health, yet there have been very few tools widely available to support the discovery and development of relationships through an easy to follow daily routine.

Balanced - The Relationship App contains hundreds of topics for exploration with many more to follow, all available in short format reads or audio sessions. Balanced is the complete resource for anyone in a relationship who feels the need to get a perspective on how to better reconnect, how to improve, or how to overcome the challenges we all face from time to time. The content available includes courses on myriad topics, weekly programs or challenges to help address your relationship mindset, articles and a bit of humour. Unlike most other apps in the relationship space, there is no set program. Each user can start with the content relevant to them; the cost is minimal and the app can be used alone or with a partner. Balanced is for anyone in a relationship and it covers topics ranging from new relationships, life with kids, cross-cultural relationships, same-sex relationships and more.

Balanced’s philosophy is “while not everyone needs therapy, we could all use a little help”. This thinking has led to an approach where users can create a daily routine of listening for just 5-10 minutes a day and gain perspectives to help make their relationships a little better, one step at a time. Balanced is available in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. To find out more about Balanced, visit the website at www.balanced.family and get started on the path to a happier relationship today.


About Balanced

Balanced Family UG was founded in 2020 in Berlin, Germany. The company was created by Nikos Kottaropoulos after his own personal experience in both individual and relationship therapy left him with more questions than clarity. The realisation that many friends and colleagues in his close circle struggled with similar issues confirmed the need for a solution that can provide guidance in finding these answers. Together with Klio Geroulanou, a longtime friend and clinical psychologist based in Korea, the pair developed an approach and a way for people to explore and learn about relationships without the need for timely and expensive therapy. After two years of intensive development with a team of psychologists, writers with backgrounds in biology and neuroscience, voice talents, and developers, Balanced - The Relationship App was born.


While Balanced is headquartered in Berlin, the team works in a virtual set-up across Europe and in Korea. In addition to the team within the Balanced Family UG company, the company is supported by a significant network of investors based largely in Greece with other investors throughout the EU and in the United States.
