BAO Massage - January Newsletter
Hello 2025!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful start to the year. With the fresh energy of 2025, I’m excited to share a few updates and upcoming changes at BAO Massage.
New Booking Software: Transitioning to Jane
You may have noticed at the top of this email that there are two appointment booking links. That’s because I’ll be transitioning to a new booking software this month. I know change can be a bit inconvenient, and honestly, I’ve been hesitant to switch for that very reason. However, my current software, Schedulicity, was recently acquired by another company, which prompted me to take the opportunity to switch to Jane—a platform designed specifically for healthcare and massage therapy.
Why the Change?
Jane offers a smoother, more intuitive experience for both clients and practitioners. From my end, it’s vastly superior in terms of managing appointments, keeping health records updated, and ensuring secure communication.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you already have appointments booked, don’t worry—I’ll handle transferring them to the new system.
Starting February 1st, you’ll need to book new appointments through Jane. I’ll provide booking links on my website, in this email, and on social media.
If you encounter any issues, feel free to text or email me. I’m here to help make this transition as smooth as possible!
Please note that you’ll need to complete a new consent form. I understand this may feel redundant, but it’s necessary to have an updated version on file.
Health History Updates
As part of this transition, I’ll also be updating your health records. Our association now requires an annual health history update, and Jane makes this process simple. You’ll receive a digital link to complete the update before your first appointment. If you prefer a paper form, just let me know!
Student Herbal Consultations Coming Soon!
In the coming months, I’ll be offering student herbal consultations! As many of you know, I’m currently apprenticing as a clinical herbalist, and this is a fantastic opportunity to explore the benefits of herbalism while supporting my continued learning.
Interested?
If you’d like more information or want to be among the first to hear about these offerings, please reach out! I’ll add you to a dedicated email list so you’ll receive early updates and have first access to bookings.
Neighborhood Happenings
Keep an eye out for local events this winter! At the end of the month, one of my favorite winter festivals, Flying Canoë Volant, will take over Mill Creek Ravine and the Francophone Quarter. This magical event celebrates local history, culture, and winter fun with illuminated trails, live music, and more.
