Our story

Home is a feeling.
We help you carry it.

Mentulis is mental wellness for everyone — and it carries a special understanding for those who packed their whole life into two suitcases, and then had to explain their feelings in a language they're still learning.

The gap we saw

Wellness apps weren't built for the newcomer journey

Nearly 1 in 4 people living in Canada is an immigrant. Each arrival means new paperwork, new winters, new accents — and very often, an old loneliness that has no easy name.

Mainstream mental health apps assume fluent English, cultural context that doesn't always fit, and a level of comfort with "talking about feelings" that many cultures express differently. The result: the people under some of the heaviest emotional load are the least served.

Mentulis was built to close that gap — and it turns out that what helps someone far from home helps everyone: voice-first, multilingual, culturally aware, and radically private. Wherever you're from, Mentulis is for you.

Every story matters
What we believe

Three promises we won't break

01 — DIGNITY

Your language is not a barrier

Feelings deserve first-language treatment. Mentulis speaks 9 languages not as a feature checkbox, but because comfort lives in your mother tongue.

02 — PRIVACY

Your story stays yours

Journals, moods and exercises never leave your phone. No ads, no trackers, no selling data. Mental health data should never be a business model.

03 — HONESTY

An app knows its place

Mentulis is self-help, not therapy. We say so clearly, we point to real professionals and crisis lines, and we build bridges to human care — never walls.

The person behind it

From one newcomer's notebook to an app

SM

Sheheryar Masood

Founder

"I came to Canada from Pakistan in May 2023 — with my wife, our child, and a life packed into suitcases. Back home I was a mid-level executive: a career, a team, family close by, streets where everyone knew my name. Leaving all of that was the hardest decision I've ever made."

"Saying you'll start over in a new country is easy. Living it is something else entirely. New language, new people, new workplace — and the quiet weight of being far from everyone who knew you longest. It takes time, and it takes more out of you than anyone warns you."

"Mentulis came out of that experience. I've walked the road every newcomer walks, so I know where it gets heavy — and how little support exists in the languages we actually think and feel in. That's why Mentulis speaks nine of them. This isn't just for my community; it's for every person starting over, from their very first day in Canada."
