We're committed to this
“About us” seems a bit beside the point, since our focus is 100 percent about our participants. But this is who we are and how we got here.
Our mission is more than business. It’s personal.
This is why we're here
We founded Meru Health in 2016 after having lost family members to mental health struggles and having seen so many others struggle with their own mental health care. We learned that access to mental health care was severely lacking—and that the care that was available was often not sufficient.
Mental health isn’t just mental. The science on how food, sleep, and even breathing can effect mood—and how mood can effect physical wellbeing—is well established. Yet so much of the mental health care landscape was ignoring this. Traditional talk therapy and psychiatric medicines aren’t enough or—in so many cases—even necessary. We felt that a more holistic approach could deliver better and faster results—and for far more people. That’s why say we’re building the new standard of mental health care.
