1. About My Wellness Collaborative & Our Business Model
My Wellness Collaborative is a wellness-focused community and marketplace platform designed to connect individuals with integrative, holistic, functional, and wellness-oriented providers, educators, brands, vendors, and wellness resources in one ecosystem.
We provide educational content, provider discovery tools, wellness-focused networking opportunities, memberships, collaborative communication tools, events, courses, vendor opportunities, and a marketplace where approved providers and vendors may offer products, services, educational resources, memberships, programs, classes, or experiences to other users.
My Wellness Collaborative operates as a Licensee on the Lyncspot ecosystem. This means the underlying software, hosting infrastructure, communications systems, and payment architecture are provided by Lyncspot LLC, while the My Wellness Collaborative brand, community standards, provider approvals, educational content, moderation, memberships, advertising relationships, and customer experience are independently operated by My Wellness Collaborative.

Payouts are issued through Stripe Connect to the provider’s or vendor’s connected Stripe account on a recurring payout schedule after applicable processing periods and any required holding periods.
Our Fees & Payout Process
For transactions processed through the platform:
- The buyer pays the full purchase price through Stripe on the Lyncspot-powered platform.

- The remaining balance is transferred to My Wellness Collaborative’s connected Stripe account.
