Sophrologists: plan session cycles for exams and birth

Exam preparation and birth preparation have one thing in common: a fixed date at the end. The sessions only help if they're spread well before it, and a missed week near the end can't be made up. With Book, the client books a first session online, and you book the rest of the cycle from your list, working back from the date, so every session is in their calendar from the start.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and places are examples: set your own according to your practice and the rules that apply to you.

At the first session, ask for the exam date or the due date, agree how many sessions to do, and book them all from your bookings list, spaced as you recommend. First and last name are enough; with the client's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each session. Book doesn't send reminders, so having every date in their calendar from day one matters.

Exam periods come at the same time every year. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so open exam-preparation first sessions a few months before exam season, at after-school and weekend times, with an end date before the exams start.

A parent may book for a teenager. Ask them to put the student's first name and the exam in the note. Each online booking takes one place, so two siblings mean two bookings.

A group cycle with several places works well for a class or study group. Each student books one place in each session; a full session leaves your page.

Say in the description from which stage of pregnancy you suggest starting, and that the partner is welcome if you work with couples. Keep sessions flexible near the due date: book the last ones a little earlier than needed, and move them from your list if the client contacts you.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask clients not to write health details there; discuss what you need in the session, according to the rules that apply to you.

Near exams or late in pregnancy, travel may be harder. Offer a video service and send your link by email: Book doesn't create video links. Rescheduling works across services.

Book doesn't take payments, sell cycle packages or send reminders. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
