Customizing your booking form
Use the booking form to gather important information about your clients before their sessions. Whether you need details about allergies, specific health conditions, or other information, customizing your booking form helps you provide the best service possible.
The booking form is a great way to learn more about your clients and their needs before they attend one of your sessions.
