Overview
An intake form is how care begins before the session does. It gathers health history, goals, boundaries, and consent so the practitioner can show up prepared and the client can feel seen. Good intake is hospitality on paper: respectful, clear, and only as long as it needs to be.
How it works
Clients complete questions about needs, contraindications, preferences, and logistics. Practitioners review before the appointment and follow up on anything unclear. Digital intake with reminders saves everyone from clipboard chaos at the door.
