Meru Health is currently looking for a Senior Manager, Lifecycle Marketing, to join on Denver team.
About Meru Health
At Meru Health, our mission is deeply personal.
Founded in 2016 after losing loved ones to mental health challenges, our founders witnessed firsthand the significant gaps in access to effective care that drives long-lasting results. Their experiences highlighted a crucial truth: mental health issues are often intertwined with physical health. The impact of nutrition, sleep, and breathing on mood and physical well being—and vice versa—is well documented, yet many mental health services continue to overlook this vital connection.
Traditional talk therapy and psychiatric treatments alone aren’t sufficient for most people. That’s why our digital 12-week program is proven to treat mild to severe symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, burnout and more. Addressing the mind and body, it includes scheduled video calls and unlimited chatting with a therapist plus on-demand wellness practices, heart rate variability (HRV) therapy and anonymous community support—all from an easy-to-use app. The result? 2X better outcomes than traditional therapy.
