Running a successful health practice means balancing patient care with operational efficiency. Whether you offer general health consultations, specialist services, or holistic wellness treatments, a full and well-managed calendar is the foundation for growth.

With Fresha, you can streamline your scheduling, reduce no-shows, and keep your practice consistently booked — all while delivering an excellent client experience.

Let clients book health services online 24/7

Make it easy for new and existing patients to book their own appointments:

  • Offer real-time booking directly from your website or profile
  • Display live availability to reduce back-and-forth emails or calls
  • Categorise services by type for easier browsing (e.g. "General Checkup" or "Nutritional Consultation")

More convenience means more bookings.

Reduce no-shows with automated reminders

Protect your time and your schedule:

  • Send automated confirmations and reminders via email or SMS
  • Let patients reschedule easily through their confirmation link
  • Use reminder timing to prompt attendance without overwhelming patients

These simple touchpoints improve attendance and planning.

Rebook with confidence after each session

Consistency is key in health and wellness:

  • Encourage patients to rebook before they leave
  • Set up follow-up intervals based on the type of consultation
  • Use Fresha's rebooking tools to automate the process

This keeps treatment on track — and your calendar full.

Manage multiple practitioners and services in one place

Whether you're solo or running a team:

  • Coordinate availability across practitioners with a shared calendar
  • Assign services and bookings to the right provider
  • Track performance and client preferences easily

No more scheduling conflicts or missed opportunities.

Promote open slots with built-in marketing tools

Keep your calendar full during slower periods:

  • Send out last-minute offers to fill gaps
  • Target lapsed patients with personalised messages
  • Highlight new services or seasonal health packages

All from within Fresha — no third-party tools required.

Turn bookings into lasting relationships

A fully booked schedule starts with smart systems. Fresha helps you attract, manage, and retain clients with ease, so you can focus more on care and less on coordination.
