Arketa manages bookings for a massage practice by putting appointments, treatment series, rooms, and payments in one place. Whether you're a solo massage therapist or a multi-therapist clinic, you can handle scheduling, intake, and rebooking without juggling separate tools. ### What happens before a client's first appointment? Arketa sends intake forms, health history, and consultation paperwork automatically before each massage appointment, so clients arrive prepped and you have their details in advance. Confirmations and reminders send the same way, without you doing it by hand. ### Can I sell treatment packages and memberships? Yes. Arketa lets a massage practice sell prepaid treatment packages, session series, and recurring memberships, with billing and remaining sessions tracked automatically. It's steady, recurring income from your regular clients without extra admin. ### Does Arketa handle rooms and equipment scheduling? Yes. Arketa assigns treatment rooms and equipment to each appointment automatically, so no two massage sessions land in the same space or share the same table or tools. When you run multiple appointments at once, nothing gets double-booked. ### How do I cut down on no-shows and last-minute cancellations? Arketa lets a massage practice require a card on file or take a deposit at booking, and you can set your own cancellation policy and no-show fees that charge automatically. That means fewer last-minute cancellations and less lost income from empty appointment slots.
