SALT Hydration & Wellness brings wellness to your home
How nurses turned burnout into a breakthrough—building an in-home wellness business that empowers nurses, delights clients, and runs seamlessly with Mangomint.
When Cher Wallentine founded SALT Hydration & Wellness, she wasn’t just building a business—she was building a better future for healthcare. A nurse during the height of COVID-19, Cher witnessed firsthand the cracks in the traditional system. Burned out and disillusioned, she didn’t walk away from care—she reinvented it.
“We wanted to create better healthcare outside the healthcare system,” Cher explains. “Healthcare instead of sickcare”
That vision became SALT: a nurse-led, mobile wellness company delivering IV therapy, aesthetic services, weight loss plans, and lab draws directly to clients’ homes across eight states. What started with just a few nurses in Idaho has now become a national model for in-home wellness.
Empowering nurses and patients
SALT’s approach is rooted in connection. Registered Nurses provide wellness treatments right in the client’s home, where comfort meets care. These visits often blossom into long-term relationships—clients feel special, and nurses feel empowered.
“Founding SALT saved my career,” Cher shares. She wanted to get out of nursing during COVID, but instead she found a way to do it differently.
The treatments SALT offers are personal for Cher—many are the same therapies that helped her recover from her own health challenges.
One platform that scales with you
As SALT scaled, managing the backend became increasingly difficult. “It was a nightmare,” Cher recalls. They were using Wix plus five other apps to juggle forms, scheduling, payments, payroll, marketing, and texting. It wasn’t sustainable.
Things changed when she found Mangomint.
“Mangomint brought together everything we needed. It was a no-brainer.”
With Mangomint, SALT replaced third-party tools with an all-in-one platform. The difference? Massive time and cost savings—and a better experience for both clients and staff.
“I can’t stress enough how much it’s saved us—in time, effort, and money.”
Features that changed the game
Cher credits Mangomint’s features for several major wins:
Integrated Forms & Charting: Custom intake, consent, and treatment notes sync directly with client profiles. Nurses can access everything at once—from labs to notes—making every visit seamless.
Automated Flows: Post-care instructions, review requests, and nurse contact info are sent automatically after appointments, enhancing care and boosting retention.
Self Checkout: Clients pay and tip from their phone. With their previous POS, nurses had to ask for a tip separately from the service transaction. Now with Mangomint’s Self Checkout, this awkward moment is eliminated and nurses save time as they wrap up appointments.
Appointment Confirmations & Reminders: Once set up, these now run on autopilot—closing communication gaps and ensuring consistency.
Memberships & Recurring Revenue: With Mangomint, SALT launched a streamlined membership program offering clients monthly, personalized IV treatments. This not only enhanced the client experience but also created predictable, recurring revenue—boosting financial stability and overall business value.
Mobile app: Since SALT is a fully mobile business, having a powerful mobile app is essential. Nurses can access everything they need on-the-go—including client charts, forms, payments, services, and communication history—directly from their device.
Payroll Automation: What used to take a entire day is now done in minutes—commission tracking and adjustments are simple and accurate.
Multi-location: Operating across multiple states means navigating different regulations. With Mangomint, SALT can customize operations to meet each state’s unique requirements while still monitoring performance and managing the entire business from one central account.
The Bottom Line, as told by Cher
From charting to checkouts, SALT’s operations are now as high-touch behind the scenes as they are in the home. Mangomint’s customer support, ease of setup, and ability to scale with SALT’s growth have made it a true partner in redefining wellness delivery.
“We’re a growing business. You can break things easily when you grow fast but Mangomint has kept up with us seamlessly.”
And now, as SALT continues to expand, Cher’s mission is clear: empower nurses, strengthen communities, and make healthcare what it should be—personal, accessible, and full of care.
