Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via facility tours, in-person enrollment, and a local SEO-anchored website with educational blog content driving top-of-funnel awareness.

The company is privately held by the founding family (two sisters), with 11-50 employees and no disclosed venture capital, private equity, parent company, or external ownership interests. There are no documented M&A, funding rounds, leadership changes, partnerships, geographic expansion, app, or proprietary technology offerings. Operations remain confined to a single Indianapolis location serving the local metropolitan market.
