Book your massage
Customers pick a service, a day and an open time on their phone, even at 10 p.m. The reminder texts schedule themselves.
Pick a service, a therapist if you have a favorite, and an open time.
Missed call during a session
When nobody can pick up, the caller gets a text within a minute, so they don't just call the next name on Google.

What missed calls could be costing you
The other side of the money: the work that slips away today. Type in your own numbers.
The starting numbers are examples for a typical massage & day spa business, not yours. Type your own; nothing you type leaves this page. In a 2025 survey of 1,000 US consumers, 82% said they would call a competitor when a business didn't answer (CallRail, as reported by AINORA). Source
Who builds it
One person you can call
I'm Chris, and I run Praxis AI Solutions out of Mason City, Iowa. When something needs changing, you call or text me, not a support line. The real version would take bookings, send reminders, text back missed calls and ask for reviews every day, without upgrading to a bigger plan or paying for add-ons just to get texting. You approve every text, the booking page and your service list before anything goes live.
(641) 530-2599- One price, in writing, before you pay a dime.
- Nothing sends, posts or charges without your okay.
- You own what I build. It keeps working even if we never talk again.
- If I can't build it, there's no charge.
In person around North Iowa; anywhere else over a screen share. Same price, same person.
