This week we talk about solutions for fitness trainers, yoga & pilates instructors, and any service provider in the health & wellness community. How are these independent professionals unique in what they need to work with clients? We explore:

- How well are health & wellness service professionals’ needs met by general business & accounting tools like QB, Freshbooks, Wave, etc.?
- What do industry-specific solutions like Mindbody, Vagaro, and Booker do very well for health & wellness service professionals?
- What are must-have features for health & wellness service professionals?
- How do service professionals’ needs change as they scale their business? What’s different about their day to day as they grow and what do they need to help them make the transition?

We also take a deeper dive into MindBody by talking to Lauren McAlister, a marketing content specialist and MindBody customer, about what MindBody is, who it’s for, why it focuses on the health & wellness field, how it helps business owners and managers, and what size of company it’s for.
