Software for alternative medicine practitioners

Alternative medicine practice software for clients who come in a series

At an alternative medicine practice, whether it offers reflexology, herbal medicine or massage-based methods, a client rarely stops at one session: more often it is a series of meetings spaced out by the practitioner. Alternative medicine practice software helps you avoid losing people between sessions, keep what a treatment needs on the shelf and stop tracking payments in a notebook.

The next session in the series

Between sessions it is easy for a client to forget when to come back. A remind-after reminder fires once a chosen interval has passed since the visit, and that interval is set for each service, so every method keeps its own rhythm. The message should carry a booking link so the person can pick a time without calling. The guide to reminders based on the service cycle explains how to choose the interval. A regular reminder before a session is best sent at a fixed time of day, so nobody booked for an early slot gets a text at night. Telegram costs less but needs the client to subscribe to the bot, while SMS gets through without any app.

Oils, herbs and disposables

Consumables included in the price of a session are described in the service's techmap, and they leave the warehouse when the appointment gets saved with paid status. The article on techmaps shows how to put one together. When a client buys something to take home after a session, such as an herbal blend or an oil, it is added as an order inside the same appointment, priced from your product list, and saving it as paid takes the item off stock. Stock levels can be viewed for any chosen day, past or future.

A deposit for a long session

For long treatments, an online payment rule can ask for a deposit from new clients only and let regulars pay on site. If payment is optional, the client pays right away or later through a link in their personal account, and the payment status is visible in the system. If payment is required and does not arrive in time, the appointment is canceled and the freed time opens up for others. For a client who arranged a session in a messenger, the payment link can simply be copied and sent.

A discount on a specific session in the series

A discount conditioned on the visit's sequence number applies to one particular session, while a cyclical one applies to every Nth visit. To count only the appointments of one method, the client's history is narrowed to selected services. The administrator sees each discount's description in the list of available ones, so the terms can be explained as early as the first session.
