About MoveMentors: built for the people who teach.

MoveMentors is a booking platform for independent movement teachers and small studios. Julien de Bats started it in Aruba in 2026. It is free to start, paid plans begin at $9.99 a month for teachers and $49 for studios, and we never take a commission on a booking.

Our mission

We believe the people who teach should keep what they earn, and the people who book should know exactly who they are paying. MoveMentors exists to make that the default in our corner of the wellness industry.

Reviews come only from completed bookings, prices and cancellation policies show before anyone books, and MoveMentors takes no commission on class payments.

Why we built it

The old way

Many booking platforms take a percentage of every class, put their own brand ahead of the person teaching, and write cancellation rules that protect the platform first. Teachers keep less and are harder to find. Clients get less choice and more friction.

Our way

We started MoveMentors to flip that. Subscription pricing for instructors instead of commission. Instructor-led profiles. Cancellation policies the instructor controls. The platform earns by being useful, not by skimming.

Why I built MoveMentors

I'm Julien, the founder of MoveMentors. The reason this platform exists is personal.

My partner is a yoga teacher. We live in Aruba, a small island in the Caribbean. For years she fought the same uphill battle every independent teacher knows. The booking platforms out there either didn't work here at all, because their payment providers don't cover the island, or they took a cut of every class she taught. On an island, a class of 30 students isn't a lot of money to begin with. Handing part of it to a platform she didn't choose felt absurd.

I've spent my career building software. So I built her something that actually works for an independent teacher on a small island. That something turned into MoveMentors.

What teachers get today

MoveMentors is for the teachers. It's free to start, with optional paid plans for extra tools, and we never take a per-class cut. Your students pay you directly, in whatever works where you teach: cards through your own Stripe account, or bank transfer, cash, PayPal, Wise, Venmo, Cash App or Zelle. Your booking page works on any phone, in seven languages, with tipping and calendar sync, and the paid plans add class packs, promo codes, memberships, retreats and a booking widget for your own website.

And I'm a single email away. If something is missing, like a feature you wish existed, a payment method we don't support yet, or a flow that doesn't fit how you teach, write to me at julien@movementors.com. I read every message. We build for the teachers and studios who tell us what they need.

What is different here

Clear about what we check
Teachers on a paid plan can verify their identity with Stripe Identity and show an ID verified badge. A certification only shows on a profile after our team has reviewed and approved it. Ask the teacher about the training that matters to you.
Instructors keep what they earn
No commission on classes. The free plan costs nothing and paid plans are a flat monthly price. You receive what your student pays, minus Stripe's fee on card payments.
Honest reviews, honest pricing
Reviews come only from completed bookings. Prices show up front, in the class currency, with no booking fee added at checkout.

How MoveMentors makes money

MoveMentors earns from hosts who choose paid extras, never from a cut of class payments.

  • Paid plans: Pro costs $9.99 a month for teachers and $49 a month for studios, with a discount for paying yearly. The free plan stays free.
  • Boosts: a teacher can pay $5 to promote one session until it starts. Boosted sessions are marked as featured.
  • Prepaid credit for text and WhatsApp reminders and for video hosting, only for hosts who switch those on.
  • Ads on free teacher profiles. Paid plans remove them.

What we don't do

  • Take a commission on class payments.
  • Add a booking fee for students.
  • Lock you in. You can cancel a paid plan at any time.
