MBODY360 is the only platform and mobile app created specifically to meet the needs of professional health and wellness practitioners including Integrative and Functional Medicine Doctors, Naturopaths, Nutritionists, and Health & Wellness Coaches.

“Reaching our physical and mental potential goes way beyond counting our steps or tracking our heart rate," said Paul Pluschkell, Co-Founder and CEO of Kandy. "The team at MBODY360 has developed a comprehensive platform enabling practitioners to stay connected with their clients around personalized plans integrating nutrition, exercise, meditation, supplements, and more. Kandy is honored to become an extension of their software team now able to bring instant conversations to the experience with one touch on the app."

“We chose Kandy not only because of their awesome ready-to-go communications platform, which makes it much easier to embed messaging into the experience, but because of the creativity and vision of their team," said MBody360 CEO Kari Thorstensen.  "The integrative medicine, health & wellness industry continues to grow rapidly as more and more people are becoming conscious of the positive impact personalized programs and passionate practitioners can have on their lives. We built MBODY360 for the most visionary practitioners, so that they can manage and grow their health and wellness practice, and help more people get well.”

MBODY360 is designed as a powerful new practice management tool that provides a complete mobile solution for health, nutrition and wellness coaching, plan management and communications. MBODY360 stands out amidst the multitude of consumer health and corporate wellness apps as the only platform and mobile app created specifically to meet the needs of professional health and wellness practitioners including Integrative and Functional Medicine Doctors, Naturopaths, Nutritionists, and Health & Wellness Coaches. The MBODY360 platform is being offered as an affordable subscription-based platform that is effective and scalable for both independent practitioners and larger practices.

MBODY360 will be adopting the Kandy Wrappers Concierge solution, which expedites embedded communications deployment, helping them differentiate their product and service offerings, facilitate engagement and collaborations, and move up the value chain with minimal customization and a simple pay as you grow price model for additional risk management.

The project is being featured at GENBAND's annual customer and partner summit, Perspectives16, in Orlando, Florida May 1-5.
