Our Story
Founded and based in New York City, Mind Brain Body Collective was founded by experienced wellness providers who had a bone to pick with the overall personal care industry. Too many wellness providers were being left behind or exploited with no gain. The rise of personal care tech platforms and their exorbitant membership fees, coupled with the traditional constraints of the healthcare system were forcing wellness providers to choose between doing what they loved and earning a decent living. Driven to break the status quo, Mind Brain Body Collective was formed intentionally to bridge that gap between what you put in and what you get out.
At MBBC, we set out to build a nurturing space where wellness providers can focus on doing the work they love, serving their clients, and thriving financially without any tradeoffs. For clients, we are introducing a hassle-free booking experience where they can choose from a collection of qualified providers and embark on a holistic wellness journey with everything they need in one place.
OUR COLLECTIVE
Rooted in genuine human connection, MBBC leads with a community-driven approach where wellness providers can come together to share resources, support each other, and advance personally and professionally. Our Collective openly stands against impersonal tech platforms and venture capitalist agendas, choosing instead to prioritize and protect the integrity and success of wellness providers over profit. As a venture built by and for wellness providers, we remain committed to being advocates and fostering a diverse and supportive community that invites greater opportunity and growth in your business.
