Booking software for massage therapists
Massage does not run like a salon. Sessions are longer, the room needs turning around between clients, and the person on the table should not hear a phone ringing in reception.
Obano lets clients book a session length that exists, at a time you can genuinely take, while the details they share with you stay in your account and never on a public page.
7-day free trial. Plans from €9.99/month. Cancel any time before the trial ends.
Scheduling problems specific to bodywork
Sessions come in fixed lengths
Thirty, sixty and ninety minute treatments are different products with different prices. Each is a separate service in Obano, so a client books the length they want and the calendar reserves exactly that.
You need time between clients
Changing linen, writing notes and washing hands is real work. Model it with a short blocked period or a slightly longer service duration so the next booking never lands the second the previous one ends.
Practitioner availability is personal
Many therapists work mornings on some days and evenings on others, or split time between two locations. Weekly availability plus date overrides describe that without you rewriting the schedule every month.
Client information is sensitive
Health notes and contact details belong in your account, not in a public listing. Obano booking pages show your services and free times — never other people's appointments or details.
What matters most for a therapy practice
Blocked time that protects your day
Block a lunch, a supervision session, a course weekend or a recurring admin hour. Blocked time is visible on your calendar and invisible to the booking page.
Confirmation and reminder emails
A quiet practice suffers most from no-shows. Automatic reminders arrive before the session in the client's language.
Approval before confirmation
If you prefer to screen new clients, turn on approval and requests arrive as pending until you accept them.
One calendar across locations and days
Day, week and month views with filters by team member and service, so a split week is still readable.
A single-therapist week, set up once
Most independent practitioners configure this once and barely touch it again.

- 3Add a recurring blocked hour for notes and room turnaround at the end of each block.
- 4Share the booking link on your site, in your email signature and in your directory listings.

- 6Reminders go out automatically, and clients reschedule through their secure link.
Common questions from therapists
- Can I add buffer time between sessions?
- You can build it into the service duration or hold it with blocked time, including a recurring weekly block.
- Will my clients' details ever be public?
- No. Public booking pages show your services, professionals and free times only. Appointment and client details are never exposed publicly.
- Can I work alone on Obano?
- Yes. Independent practitioners are a normal case; the starter plan covers a small number of active professionals.
- Can I block a whole week for a course?
- Yes. Multi-day blocked time covers holidays, training and any period you are unavailable.
