Care that meets you where you are—Common Roots is a corporate wellness health app made with tools made to support you.

We cater towards high school, undergraduate college students and early-career Asian professionals to provide a safe space to navigate their career growth, exchange insights, and connect with industry mentors who understand their journey. We hope to break down the stigma of the ‘New Professional’ burnout and ensure every Asian early career professional enters the workforce with the internal tools to be successful.

Meet the Founder

Founded in 2020 by Michelle Ta, Common Roots grew out of her personal journey navigating mental health and the systemic barriers she encountered along the way in her career and personal life journey.

Recognizing that many in her community faced similar challenges without accessible support, Michelle was driven to create change. She partnered with designers, engineers, and advocates who shared a vision of building a mental wellness space grounded in care, inclusivity, and accessibility.

Together, they brought Common Roots to life—a platform designed to uplift, empower, and support Asian adults in prioritizing their well-being within a community that truly sees and understands them.
