built for what postnatal clients actually need

Booking and intake software for postnatal Pilates teachers

Postnatal intake is not fitness intake. Your booking software should reflect that. Conditional-logic forms for pregnancy stage, birth type, diastasis status, breastfeeding, pelvic-floor symptoms — surfaced only when relevant, captured before the first session.

what changes when it fits

Built for your specific shape

Conditional intake for postnatal screening

Weeks postpartum. Birth type (vaginal vs c-section) with follow-ups for each. Diastasis assessment status. Pelvic-floor symptom screening with severity scale. Breastfeeding status. Hypermobility flares. Each field surfaces only when relevant.

Mommy-and-me as a real session type

A duet where the second guest is an infant: no payment for the second guest, the booking flow communicates that clearly, the intake captures whether you need a baby-changing setup or quiet space. Not a workaround over a regular duet.

Packs for postnatal programs

The 6-week or 8-week postnatal Pilates program runs as a single pack purchase. One Stripe charge, six (or eight) bookable sessions. Clients see their progress through the program in their account.

who this fits

Who Junocal is built for here

Built for Pilates teachers and movement specialists whose practice is primarily postnatal. The shape is usually a mix of 1:1 privates, small mommy-and-me duets, and a postnatal program sold as a 6 or 8-week pack. Most clients arrive between 6 weeks and 12 months postpartum, with a mix of c-section recovery, diastasis recti rehab, and general 'I want to feel like myself again' goals. The current tooling is often a generic appointment app (which does not capture postnatal-specific intake) plus a separate Google Form for screening (which clients ignore or forget). Junocal Starter at $39/month consolidates the booking and the conditional-logic intake into one flow the client cannot skip.

how it plays out

Three real moments

Specific operational scenarios this studio shape runs into, and what Junocal does for each.

A new client is 8 weeks postpartum with a c-section history

She books a session. The intake form surfaces the c-section follow-up fields (incision check date, OB clearance status, current activity tolerance). She uploads her OB clearance document. The form requires it as a precondition for booking. You see all of this before her first session and plan accordingly.

Selling the 8-week postnatal program

Create a pack: 8 sessions, valid 12 weeks from purchase, one Stripe charge. The booking page shows the program as a featured offering with the schedule of available start dates. A new mother buys the pack, then books her first session from her account. She progresses through all 8 with one purchase decision.

A regular client takes maternity leave

She is going on her own maternity leave. She pauses her membership from her own account with a planned resume date 4 months out. Her membership and any in-flight pack credits sit untouched. When she resumes, her schedule and history are exactly where she left them.

the things we get asked

Questions

Is Junocal HIPAA compliant?

Junocal is built for cash-pay postnatal Pilates — wellness-coded, not clinical — and the product scope is intentionally outside HIPAA. The privacy posture is GDPR-grade: encrypted at rest and in transit, free one-click CSV export at any time, no third-party data sharing. For practices that bill insurance for postnatal physiotherapy or pelvic-health PT, a HIPAA-compliant tool covers that segment; Junocal works for the cash-pay portion of your practice without conflict.

Can the intake form ask about diastasis assessment results?

Yes. The intake builder includes a diastasis section with finger-width or centimetre measurements at three locations (above, at, and below the umbilicus), a date of last assessment, and a field for the assessor (self, postnatal physio, OB, the client's regular Pilates teacher). All fields are optional individually but the section as a whole is configurable as required-before-booking for postnatal services.

How do I handle mommy-and-me sessions in the booking flow?

Configure 'mommy-and-me' as a service type with a primary attendee (the mother) and a no-charge secondary attendee (the infant). The booking page shows the session as 'mother plus baby' with no second-attendee payment step. Intake captures whether you need a baby-changing setup or specific quiet hours. The schedule shows the session at standard capacity (one occupied slot).

Can postnatal clients pay in installments?

Yes, for pack purchases. The 8-week postnatal program can be sold as 'full payment now' or '50 percent at booking, 50 percent on session 4'. Junocal handles the split via Stripe automatically, charging the saved card on the configured date.

What if a client is between 0 and 6 weeks postpartum and needs medical clearance first?

The intake form can include a hard gate: 'Have you had your 6-week check?' If no, the booking is paused with a message asking the client to complete medical clearance first. The slot is not held; the client returns when clearance is in place. No awkward email exchange, no judgement call required from you.
