Our Story
Munn Health is a pioneering mental health startup in India, named after the Hindi word for “mind.”
Our journey begins with the vision of creating a modern mental health experience tailored to the unique needs of India’s growing population seeking mental health services. Currently, we are in the nascent stages of our journey, with a small but dedicated team of highly qualified therapists. We are committed to growing and evolving to meet the mental health needs of our community.
About Our Founder
Welcome! I’m Manali Deolalkar, the founder of Munn Health and a Licensed Psychotherapist. My journey here is motivated by a simple vision: to create a modern mental health experience that cultivates mental well-being in people’s lives.
Growing up in Mumbai, I discovered my passion for helping others feel heard. After my Bachelors at St. Xavier’s College and supporting people with suicidal thoughts at Samaritans Mumbai, I pursued a Masters in Mental Health Counseling at Columbia University, New York. My educational and personal journey around understanding mental health revealed the systemic gaps in mental health care and the persistent stigma surrounding it.
Professional Journey
My experience over the years at mental health startups, revealed that accessibility and modern appeal can significantly reduce stigma and barriers to care. Through my practice, Spiral Up Therapy in the US, I’ve developed a passion for expanding mental wellness services on a larger scale, with empathetic and driven therapists.
Founding Munn Health
Munn Health, launched in 2024, aims to provide accessible therapy in India, focusing on overall mental well-being. Our mission is guided by values of inclusivity, consistency and consent. These principles shape both my personal approach to therapy and Munn Health’s core ethos.
Our Vision
Founded by a seasoned Licensed Mental Health Professional with extensive experience, our vision is to create a mental health ecosystem in India that mirrors best therapeutic practices.
We ensure that our therapists are not only highly qualified but also receive constant supervision and training to provide the best possible care to the clients.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support individuals in their mental wellness journey and help them reach their full potential. We are dedicated to providing care that acknowledges and empowers all intersectional identities, including gender, culture, sexual identity, age, caste, and social class.
As a wellness-first organization, we focus on a self-reflective and empowering process, rather than a diagnosis-based, fixing process. In a world where discussing mental health issues is often stigmatized, we offer a safe space for individuals to feel understood and supported.
We are here for you, even when “it’s not that bad.”
