Problem:
Serenity Path Holistic Wellness Center aims to address the lack of access to holistic and
integrated health solutions in Baguio City area. Many individuals are seeking a comprehensive

chronic stress and its impact on physical, emotional, and mental well-being is a significant problem
that requires a multifaceted approach, which is currently underserved by existing solutions.
Furthermore, there is a lack of access to natural, holistic therapies and treatments in a single,

integrative healthcare approaches they desire. By addressing these critical gaps in the market,
Serenity Path Holistic Wellness Center will become a premier destination for individuals seeking to

Manlapaz encountered a highly successful wellness center and engaged in extensive discussions with

these Asian countries and his hometown, he identified a promising opportunity. After conducting

Manlapaz incorporated Serenity Path Holistic Wellness Center as an S-Corporation on July 15, 2023

MARKET ANALYSIS
Industry Overview
The wellness industry in the Philippines is thriving, fueled by increasing health consciousness
and a preference for holistic health solutions. This growth is evident across diverse segments such as
spas, fitness and yoga studios, nutritional counseling, and alternative therapies like acupuncture and
chiropractic care. Major urban centers like Metro Manila, Cebu City, and Davao City are focal points
due to higher disposable incomes and a larger consumer base.
Recent years have seen substantial growth in the wellness and mental health sectors, driven
by rising rates of stress-related illnesses and a reduced stigma surrounding seeking treatment.
Serenity Path Holistic Wellness Center capitalizes on this trend by offering a range of services
including yoga, meditation, and nutrition counseling. The center addresses all aspects of personal
care, nutrition, exercise, and mind-body well-being, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the
wellness business.
Consumer demand for holistic health solutions continues to grow, influenced by increased
awareness of the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and nutritional well-being. The pandemic
has further amplified this focus on health and wellness, with heightened interest in stress
management and preventive care. Customized wellness programs are gaining popularity as
individuals seek personalized services tailored to their unique health needs.
Serenity Path Wellness Center typically works with adults who are between the ages of 25
and 55. Although there are increasingly more male customers, women make up the majority of the
service's clientele. These clients are usually middle-class to upper-class individuals who have more
money to spend on wellness services. Psychologically, the clientele actively looks for methods to
enhance their well-being and is very sensitive to their health. Many work as professionals in high-
stress environments, and they're searching for efficient ways to relax and unwind. They value holistic
wellness practices and preventative healthcare, leading an active lifestyle.
In terms of behavior, these clients are frequent consumers of wellness services; They are
inclined to invest in recurrent services like regular check-ins for dietary counseling, monthly
pg. 9
massage therapy sessions, and regular yoga lessons because they value long-term wellness goals.
This group also has a tendency to be tech-savvy, using online platforms to schedule appointments,
monitor their progress toward well-being, and participate in online forums for wellness.
In addition, a lot of clients are driven by certain health objectives, like controlling long-term
illnesses, raising fitness levels, or losing weight. They are knowledgeable, frequently study wellness
techniques on their own, and demand excellent, evidence-based services. Reviews and testimonials
from previous customers, together with the service providers' perceived legitimacy and expertise, all
play a role in their decision-making process.
Regulations
Serenity Path Holistic Wellness Center adheres strictly to regulatory standards in the wellness
industry. This includes compliance with health and safety regulations mandated by the Department
of Health (DOH) and local government units (LGUs), focusing on hygiene, sanitation, and licensing
for therapies. Additionally, the center ensures all practitioners are certified and licensed in massage
therapy, nutritional counseling, and yoga, prioritizing health and safety protocols.
Data privacy is another critical area of compliance, with the center implementing robust
security measures to protect client information under laws such as the CCPA and GDPR. Marketing
and advertising practices adhere to legal requirements, ensuring all claims about service benefits are
truthful and substantiated.
Furthermore, Serenity Path complies with regional business licensing and building
regulations, which vary by location. Employment laws, including fair labor practices and proper
employee classification, are also rigorously followed. The center conducts regular policy reviews and
updates to maintain full compliance, minimizing legal risks and fostering a secure, ethical workplace
environment.

drivers for Serenity Path Wellness Center.
