Sound and energy sessions booked with intake that respects the practice.
Intentions, trauma history, body sensitivities, what they're hoping to release. Your intake covers what most people don't share anywhere else. Harbor delivers the answers and forgets them.

Everything Acuity has. Plus the things they hold back.
The features small businesses actually pay other tools for, included from day one.
SMS reminders
Twenty-four hour and one-hour text reminders fire automatically. Clients can reschedule from the link in the text. Carrier-registered for reliable delivery.
Deposits via Stripe
Charge a percentage of the service price at booking. Money lands directly in your Stripe account. Per-org refund rules for cancels and reschedules.
Intake questions
Ask what you need at booking. Answers go straight to your inbox. Harbor never writes them to a database. Marketable as a real privacy promise.
Embeddable widget
Drop a single iframe snippet on Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, or plain HTML. Your customers book without leaving your site.
Auto-waitlist
Slot fills up? Clients join the waitlist with one tap. When someone cancels, the next match gets a book-now link. No staff time required.
Recurring appointments
Weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Up to 26 occurrences booked in one click with automatic conflict detection. Cancel one or cancel the whole series.
Co-branded everything
Your logo and business name appear on the booking page, the admin dashboard, the confirmation emails, and the reschedule pages. Harbor sits underneath as "powered by".
Prices, deposits, buffer time
Per-service pricing and deposit percentage. Buffer minutes before and after each appointment so back-to-back slots stop wrecking your day.
Staff scheduling
Shift templates, time tracking, PTO, shift marketplace, internal messaging. Most booking tools make you pay extra. We don't.
Energy work runs on trust your tools shouldn't break.
Other booking platforms log every intake answer indefinitely. Trauma disclosures and emotional intentions, sitting in the same database as thousands of other clients.
Harbor's intake is pass-through. Answers reach your inbox at booking and disappear from our servers. Your own session notes hold what you choose to keep.
- Intake answers never persisted
- Free-text capped server-side, no LLM piping
- Medical-info warning shown to every client
- Self-hosted on infrastructure we own
