The MindBody Therapy Centre

What The MindBody Therapy Centre does

The MindBody Therapy Centre is a complementary and holistic health clinic operating as MindBody Therapy Ltd., a privately held limited company registered in England and Wales and founded in 2009 by Devon and Karen Burke. The business is anchored by a single physical centre at 120 Stanstead Road, Forest Hill, London SE23, complemented by a corporate onsite wellness division servicing clients across London and South East England. Core staff headcount is approximately 8 employees, supported by a curated network of 18-20 qualified therapists spanning massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology, beauty, counselling, hypnotherapy, coaching, nutrition, kinesiology, and reception. The company serves both individual consumers seeking relaxation, pain management, and holistic wellbeing, and institutional clients including NHS Greenwich, housing associations, councils, colleges, and charities.

The centre's service portfolio spans 20+ therapy modalities under the proprietary 'MindBody Therapy' holistic framework blending physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental wellness. Notable technical components include the FAR Infrared Medical Sauna (SaunaMed, ~6,340nm wavelength with colour therapy and mineral filtration), signature treatments such as Caribbean Heat Massage, Body Stretch Massage, and MindBody Tuning Therapy, plus specialist modalities including ScarWork (Sharon Wheeler method), Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder method), and Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture with acuRegen. Operational infrastructure comprises Phorest salon software for booking and CRM (deployed on AWS), Eventbrite for events, and dedicated iOS and Android mobile apps.

Revenue is generated through pay-as-you-go individual treatment bookings (£8-£130 per session), corporate onsite wellness contracts (minimum 2-hour chair massage engagements), corporate voucher programmes with monthly invoicing, gift voucher e-commerce, group workshops (£5-£25 per person), and virtual/subscription packages. Insurance reimbursement is accepted from BUPA, Simply Health, Health Shield, and Westfield Health. Marketing operates through a content-led model (blog, Instagram @mbtherapy, email newsletter), testimonials, community events, and direct corporate outreach. The company has no external investors, no parent company, and is wholly founder-owned.
