The Wellness Co.
CH Studios · Knot Platform Client
Overview
A full-stack booking platform for acupuncture and energy healing practices — service discovery, appointment scheduling, and Stripe payments, with self-serve cancellation and automatic refunds built in. A white-label alternative to Mindbody with no recurring software cost and no platform branding.
The Problem
Solo wellness practitioners pay $100–200/month for platforms like Mindbody or Vagaro built for large gyms and multi-location studios. The booking experience is generic, the branding belongs to the platform, and most of the features go unused by a single-practitioner practice.
What We Built
Booking System
Service browsing, time slot selection, Stripe checkout, and confirmation email via Resend. Built and handed off in two weeks.
Admin Dashboard
Practitioners manage services, availability, blocked dates, appointments, and reviews without touching code. All changes reflect live.
Webhook-First Payments
Stripe webhooks trigger the appointment database write. No booking is confirmed until payment clears — no phantom appointments, no silent failures.
Smart Cancellations
UUID cancel tokens sent in confirmation emails require no login. Full refund beyond 48 hours, 50% inside that window, nothing for no-shows.
Multi-Tenant Architecture
Onboarding a new wellness client is a new Vercel deployment of the same codebase. No schema changes, no backend modifications.
Perfect Lighthouse
100/100/100 across Performance, Accessibility, and SEO. Fully hand-written frontend — no framework, no build step.
Admin Dashboard
The practitioner manages services, availability, blocked dates, appointments, and client reviews from a private admin panel — no code required. All changes reflect live on the site.
Live Site
Outcome
Replaced a $100–200/month Mindbody subscription with owned infrastructure the client controls entirely. Part of the CH Studios Small Business Platform Suite — the same architecture powers every Knot Platform client.
