mental health; inspire, nourish, develop, support
our mission
M;INDS is more than an initiative—it’s a movement that challenges how the world approaches mental health and neurodivergence. Co-created by Erin Salemi and Leif Bello-Romund, M;INDS exists to transform the mental health landscape by building an entirely new system—one that acknowledges, empowers, and uplifts every individual.
We believe that traditional mental health approaches often overlook the real needs of those struggling. Instead of trying to patch up what's broken, we’re creating something completely new—an ecosystem that thrives on connection, shared experiences, and innovative solutions.
who are we?

His journey blends creativity, empathy, and a relentless drive to disrupt traditional approaches to mental health, paving the way for a more compassionate world.
Erin Salemi
At M;INDS, we believe that health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing. We strive to help our clients achieve this state through personalized plans that focus on nutrition, exercise, stress management, and other key factors.
