She cancels at 11 am, and you work alone?Carden tells your followers for you.
Massage, reflexology, sophrology, hypnotherapy, naturopathy: you see clients on your own, and every empty hour is an hour lost. Carden fills today’s gaps without you having to chase anyone.

We know your day
Three things that cost you, every day.
- You work alone — nobody fills cancellations for you
- No receptionist, no team. When a session falls through, it’s up to you to find someone, between two appointments. So you don’t.
- One cancellation is the whole hour
- You see one person at a time. A cancellation at 2 pm isn’t a partial loss — it’s 100% of the slot, often €60 to €90 net.
- Your clients think they need to book well ahead
- They think you’re fully booked and don’t even try. Meanwhile, your Thursday afternoon is empty and nobody knows.
What Carden changes
Between sessions, you don’t call anyone back. Carden does it.
- Nothing to manage between sessions
- The freed slot goes out automatically to your local community. The session you’re in is never interrupted.
- They book from your profile
- They tap your name, then the booking link in your bio — the one you already have. The session lands in your diary.
What you get out of it
Slots won back, without spending a minute on it.
- Today’s demand, finally visible
- People with back pain this morning, those falling apart before an exam: they’re looking today, not in three weeks. Your availability shows up at the moment they search.
- A price one session pays for
- Carden Story, €9.90 a month. A single session won back in the month covers several months of subscription — the rest is revenue you wouldn’t have had.
What goes out on your account
You don’t write a single story.
A freed slot, today’s free times, an offer you launch: Carden posts in your name, with your logo and a photo of the service.

How it works
Nothing to install. You set it up once, then there’s nothing left to do.
We connect your diary
Fresha, Treatwell or another. No double entry, with your consent.
You set it up once
Your colours, your hours, the number of stories per day.
The rest goes out on its own
The next freed slot is announced without you.
Whatever your set-up
Four ways of working, the same gap in the day.
- Solo practice
- One place, one person: every empty hour is an hour of rent with no income.
- Home visits
- Your travel gets grouped: today’s slots are offered by area and by time.
- Shared practice
- You rent time slots: filling them all directly changes your margin.
- Side activity
- A few half-days a week: those are the ones that need to be full.
The maths
Your cancellations have a price. Story costs €9.90.
Each month, around 13 empty slots:
€455
that never reach your till.

Join the waitlistYou might be thinking
“I only have about twenty sessions a week — is this for me?”
That’s actually where it counts most. When every hour is a big share of your income, two sessions won back a month change your month-end.
Before you take our word for it
Judge on the slots you actually win back, not on our promises. No commitment: you stop whenever you like.
What people ask us before starting.
Your best slots go days in advance?Carden Last Minute
Do you also take walk-ins?Carden Salon
I only have about twenty sessions a week — is this for me?+
That’s where it matters most. When every hour is a big share of your income, two sessions won back in a month change your month-end — and already cover the subscription.
I don’t have booking software, just a paper diary.+
That works: Carden gives you a booking page with your services, durations and prices. The link can be shared in your bio, in a story or by message, and today’s availability shows up there.
Will it interrupt me during a session?+
Never. Everything is prepared in the background and you approve when you’re free — or not at all. If you do nothing, nothing goes out.
My sessions are long and personal — is it compatible?+
Yes. Carden only offers what genuinely fits the gap available, with your own durations. A ninety-minute session will never be offered in a one-hour slot.
Do I have to be on social media?+
It’s not required. The slot can simply show on your booking page, which your clients check when they’re looking. Social media amplifies; it isn’t a precondition.
How much does it cost?+
Carden Story is €9.90 a month, with no commitment and no commission on your prices. It’s live in France for now: join the waitlist and we’ll tell you when it opens in your country.
