What is luna?

luna is a health and wellbeing app for teens, co-created with medical experts.

It's designed to support young people as they grow up.

And to give parents peace of mind.

Young people use luna to track their periods and moods, and explore topics they’re curious about.

They can also get expert answers to their anonymous questions.

It’s designed to offer support through puberty, periods, emotions and relationships.

Our mission in a nutshell?

To create the most educated and empowered generation of teens when it comes to health and wellbeing.
