Roxanne Banta

MINDBODY University Program Manager

Originally from metro Detroit, Michigan, Roxanne arrived in San Luis Obispo, California in 2004 to pursue a MS in Mathematics to follow her passion of teaching. After earning a BA in Mathematics from Michigan State University and working for 3 years as a computer programmer for an insurance company she was ready for a change. She was quickly absorbed into the MINDBODY family after applying for a part time administrative position and being hired as the first Customer Service Manager, a position she held for almost 2 years. Since joining MINDBODY, Roxanne has held many positions, overseen many projects, and is somewhat of a jack of all trades of the company. Roxanne is currently spearheading our burgeoning MINDBODY University department which combines the power of the MINDBODY system with proven business growth strategies to help take MINDBODY clients to the next level. She directs our hugely successful MINDBODY University business intensives and also presents business growth strategies at various trade shows.

Roxanne also has a passion for yoga and recently returned from a yoga teacher training and has been sharing her love of yoga with those around her and teaches yoga classes to the MINDBODY office. Roxanne combines her love of technology and wellness to bring MINDBODY clients a unique and integrated perspective to help their businesses grow. Roxanne's other interests include reading, bicycling, music, and spending time with friends & family.

Peter Hewitt

Dean of Staff Training

Peter earned a BA in economics and an MBA in finance from the University of Rochester. His early career saw stints with several large companies including Xerox, Kodak, and Bausch & Lomb. Then he found an opportunity to combine his love of teaching with computers, and joined a start-up company that focused on computer training. Teaching flowed naturally into instructional design, and enabled him to indulge his passion for learning how to make the computer do more work for him.

Peter found MINDBODY in February 2006, while he was running his own computer consulting business, and joined the technical support staff. He now develops and manages the Technical Support Certification programs. He teaches team members the MINDBODY system, and also how to train others on the MINDBODY system. Before Customer Service staff can train clients, they have to demonstrate their technical knowledge and training skills for him. He stays in close contact with all the staff to learn about what MINDBODY’s clients are doing.

Loving life on the central coast, Peter lives on his hobby farm with his wife, family, and their menagerie of animals. He got dragged to a yoga class, and discovered that he really likes it! To round things out, he teaches guitar, rides his bike, and practices yoga. And, of course, enjoys good wine and good friends.

Kalena Jackson

Training Materials Coordinator

Originally from California’s Bay Area, Kalena came to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly University and, like so many, fell “victim” to the beautiful area and amazing weather.

Now the Training Materials Coordinator for MINDBODY, Kalena creates training movies and hosts training seminars for MINDBODY clients. As she describes it, “my favorite part about my job is helping business owners. It is so fulfilling to guide someone through the software, and show them that it’s more than just a day-to-day schedule tracker, but a powerful data analysis, marketing and e-commerce tool as well.”

Kalena currently resides in Morro Bay with the 4 loves of her life (3 of which walk on four legs). If you catch her leading a seminar or moonlighting on Live Tech Support, you just might get to see pictures of her beloved pets.

Kristi Caldeira

Premium Account Coordinator

Kristi was born and raised in the lovely town of Citrus Heights, CA. At the age of 18, she made the decision to migrate to the Central Coast in hopes of escaping the Sacramento heat. Here she studied Kinesiology at Cal Poly State University and participated in many community service and sports activities. After graduating in 2007, she immediately landed a job at MINDBODY and has been a proud employee of the company ever since.

MINDBODY has been a dream come true for Kristi... combining her love of health, fitness, business and travel. Not only does Kristi love her job, but she also loves the area in which she works. California's Central Coast is one of the most beautiful areas to live and Kristi is definitely taking advantage of the location. When she's not providing MINDBODY clients with sensational customer service, Kristi enjoys playing with her funny looking dog Miko, practicing yoga, running, hiking and biking.
