J Balvin to Launch Wellness App: OYE

J Balvin is not only a global superstar but an entrepreneur and an advocate for Mental Health!  On May 17th he announced the creation of OYE, a new bilingual, interactive wellness app. If you are curious about it, you better sign up now, since you will have a 1 year free membership. Hurry up, do it before September!

The idea for OYE originated from Balvin’s own journey with mental health and his drive to help others overcome similar issues. J Balvin has opened up about his personal experiences with mental health in the past, an issue that is still considered taboo for much of our community, as well as other cultures around the world, so destigmatizing mental health has quickly become a passion of his.

“Through my own journey with mental health and wellness, I was inspired and committed to bringing resources to more people around the world. With OYE, we have created a community-focused platform that will provide engaging and accessible emotional wellness practices for all,” said Balvin.

To bring this project to life, Balvin has appointed personal therapist, Carlos Lopez, one of the leading psychologists in Latin America, to co-chair OYE and Mari Sierra, a Mexican wellness leader and mind-body connection expert.

OYE will provide daily wellness practices both in Spanish and English.

Balvin is deeply involved in the app’s development and rollout, working alongside experts such as Lopez and Sierra. Chamorro said, “OYE is designed for anyone who wants to feel better emotionally, physically, and socially with a special emphasis on bilingual young adults. Feeling better starts with exploring how you feel, so we want to provide members with a safe space to open up and connect with their full range of feelings. With this app, people can begin to normalize checking in with themselves every day through emotional wellness check-ins and guided wellness practices that help people work through emotions in the safety of their own home. In addition, the OYE Creators community will offer a platform for healers and artists to share creative bilingual wellness practices with much broader and more diverse audiences than ever before.”

“Embodiment and social healing are central to OYE’s methodology,” said Sierra, “OYE is not a cure for acute mental health issues; it is a community content platform for making emotional wellness part of your everyday life through mind-body connection. Our purpose is to help the world feel better and empower the next generation to be more in touch with themselves, their bodies, and their people.”
