Wellness Studio

What Wellness Studio does

Wellness Studio is a privately held, single-location holistic wellness center operating from 114 N. Saint Clair St. in downtown Dayton, Ohio, founded in 2020 by Marianne Fink. The studio serves individual consumers seeking integrated mind-body-spirit wellness and delivers services entirely through licensed practitioners in-person, organized across eight categories: therapeutic massage (including the proprietary Wellness Method™, craniosacral, prenatal, raindrop, cupping, and lymphatic drainage), energy and vibrational healing (Reiki, Reconnective Healing, Access Consciousness, Himalayan Sound Bowls), aesthetics (signature and Platinum HydraFacials, custom facials with Botnia Skincare, waxing, lash and brow services), spiritual readings (tarot, astrology, oracle), specialty experiences (Head Spa, breathwork, stretch therapy, couples services), and wellness coaching.

The studio's core differentiator is The Wellness Method™, a trademarked therapeutic massage methodology developed by the founder over 25 years that layers myofascial techniques, structural asymmetry knowledge, counter stretching, slow pacing, trigger point, and origin-and-insertion work. Operations are supported by MindBody Online for scheduling, gift card sales, and membership management. The team comprises 17 individuals, including 13 licensed practitioners with cross-disciplinary credentials spanning Traditional Chinese Medicine, advanced esthetics, yoga instruction, and sound therapy.

Revenue is generated through two streams: per-session service appointments priced between roughly $20 and $455, and six tiered monthly subscription packages (Essentials, Hydrotherapy, Body, Body+, Fire & Ice+, and Couples) ranging from $236.68 to $435 per month. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, driven by a single physical studio, the MindBody booking platform, Instagram content, and an email newsletter. The business is bootstrapped, founder-owned, and operates with no disclosed external funding or institutional investment.
