What The Wellness Studio, LLC does

The Wellness Studio, LLC is a single-location acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic founded in September 2020 by Dr. Sybil Van De Velde, DAcCHM, L.Ac., operating from a street-front space at 7924 Victoria Drive, Suite 102, in Victoria, Minnesota. The clinic provides acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine services with a clinical focus on women's health (natural and assisted fertility including IUI/IVF support, pregnancy, postpartum, menstrual irregularities, PCOS, endometriosis, PMS/PMDD, and perimenopause), pain management (migraines, headaches, chronic musculoskeletal pain, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, sciatica), digestive health, dizziness and vertigo, and general stress-related conditions. The underlying approach is rooted in TCM theory, emphasizing identification of root-cause patterns of imbalance in Qi, Blood, and organ systems rather than symptomatic treatment, supplemented by Chinese herbal prescriptions and food therapy; massage therapy is offered through independent practitioners operating within the shared studio space.

The business model combines per-session professional services fees (with HSA/FSA accepted for acupuncture and a new-patient buy-one-get-one introductory offer) with a secondary room-leasing revenue stream that rents treatment space to independent wellness practitioners at $100 per day on one-year leases, with shared front desk, waiting area, and utilities. Go-to-market is community-led and localized: patient acquisition is driven by community presence in Victoria, word-of-mouth referrals, 100+ Google Reviews, a 'Voted Best Clinic' recognition, a dedicated success-stories page, and educational blog and social-media content on TCM topics; new patients self-schedule through the Jane App online booking platform.

The company is a privately held, bootstrapped LLC employing approximately five people (the founder/owner, a general clinic manager who is the founder's spouse, and two patient coordinators who are concurrently pursuing acupuncture degrees, functioning as an in-house talent pipeline). The Wellness Studio holds no patents, has no API or technology integrations beyond Jane App, has no AI/ML capabilities, and operates without external investors, parent companies, or public market exposure.

Regional players
