For RMTs who work from a home studio
A calm booking page for your home studio.
Handwell gives you your own booking link, a clear view of your week, reminders that send themselves, and insurance receipts for your clients. Nothing built for a ten-person clinic.
The second link is a working practice’s booking page, not a demo.
Who it is for
Made for the therapist who runs the whole practice alone.
If your clients book by text, or you pay for clinic software built for a front desk, Handwell is the smaller option. It does the booking and leaves the rest alone.
I am an RMT in Toronto with a home studio. I built it for my own practice, and I use it every week. Other therapists can now use the same thing.
How clients book
One link, and a week of times to choose from.
Each therapist gets a booking page under their own name, such as handwell.ca/your-name. Put it in your texts, your email signature or your website.
- Choose a length, then a time. Clients see your open times for the week on one screen.
- Confirmation by email. With an add-to-calendar link and a reminder before the visit, on the schedule you set.
- Reschedule or cancel online. Inside a notice window you choose. Later changes are flagged to you.
How your week looks
Open it and today is already there.
Your bookings and time off, by day or by week. You get an email when a booking or a cancellation comes in.
- Book clients yourself. For the ones who text you, including a repeating weekly booking.
- Time off and blocked time. Lunch, an appointment, a week away. Clients never see those hours.
- Insurance receipts. Send a client their receipt after a visit, with your registration number on it.
What it does not try to be
Not clinic software.
- No front desk features.No multi-practitioner rosters, rooms or staff permissions.
- No marketplace.Clients come through your link. Handwell does not list you or send you leads.
- No online payments.The app does not take payment for you.
- No marketing machine.No campaigns, no review requests, no upselling.
Charting is not included yet. SOAP notes and health history forms are not part of Handwell today. Keep your notes the way you do now. If that changes, it will be said here first.
Price
Free while it is new.
There is no charge to use Handwell today. A low monthly fee will come later, once it has proved useful. The amount has not been decided, and you will be told before anything changes.
Questions
The short answers.
Is my clients' information private, and where is it kept?
Handwell holds contact details (name, email, phone), appointment times and the receipts you issue for the clients who book with you. It holds no health history and no treatment notes. Today it runs on a server in the eastern United States, so the data is stored outside Canada. Each therapist's clients and calendar are kept separate from other therapists'. Terms and a privacy policy will be published when sign-up opens.
Can I move my existing bookings in?
There is no import tool. You can enter upcoming appointments yourself with Book a client, which can repeat weekly, and the client list builds from those and from new bookings. If you have a lot to move, ask in the form and say how many.
What happens when it stops being free?
A low monthly fee will be introduced. You will be told in advance, with the amount, and you can decide then whether to carry on.
Can I use my own website alongside it?
Yes. Link your site's Book button to your Handwell page. It is a normal web address, so it also works in a text, an email signature or a Google Business profile.
Do my clients need an account or an app?
No. They book from a web page. Accounts are optional, and there is nothing to install.
Early access
Tell me you are interested.
Sign-up is still being built. Leave your name and email and you will hear when it opens. How you take bookings today helps decide what to build next, but you can skip it.
