They book on theirs, you run the day on yours. Deposits, automated reminders, and a calendar built for solo and small-studio massage.
Built for the way massage therapists actually work

Deposit collection
Take a deposit at booking to protect your day. Particularly useful for mobile and home-visit massage where a no-show wipes out a travel slot.
