Dedicated Project Manager
Free Tier $0"I audit client health intake forms, ensure session room turnover buffers in Jane App, oversee 5-session package renewals, and manage waitlist backfills."
Trusted by Certified Shiatsu Therapists & Oriental Medicine Centers
See how independent Shiatsu bodyworkers, Zen Shiatsu specialists, and community wellness practices reclaim their clinical focus, stop losing revenue to empty slots, and protect client privacy with SageDoer.
"When I'm in the treatment room giving a 90-minute Zen Shiatsu session, I cannot answer the phone. In the past, prospective clients with acute neck pain would simply call another clinic. My SageDoer VA responds to inquiries in under 4 minutes, verifies health contraindications, and schedules appointments in Jane App with proper 20-minute futon change buffers."
"Our biggest problem was clients dropping off after their third session once the initial muscle stiffness resolved. Our SageDoer assistant maintains our 5-session package follow-up sequence, sends customized seasonal Five-Element wellness tips, and re-engages dormant clients. Our monthly rebooking rate went from 54% to 88%."
"The single dedicated Project Manager makes SageDoer infinitely superior to hiring on Upwork. In the past, freelancers had no understanding of tsubo points, contraindications like deep vein thrombosis, or loose cotton clothing requirements for floor sessions. SageDoer's PM trained our VA on our exact client intake script and monitors quality daily."
"No-shows were costing our cooperative clinic over $1,800 every month. SageDoer set up pre-session card authorizations, sends friendly 48-hour and 24-hour SMS check-ins, and actively manages our short-notice cancellation waitlist. Now, when a client cancels, the slot is filled in under 30 minutes."

Traditional Freelance Portals vs. SageDoer

|---|---|---|
| Platform & Booking Fees | Up to 40% in hidden platform markups, client connection fees, and transaction commissions. |
0% Hidden Fees. Pay strictly for hours of actual working time.
|
| Daily Team Management | You must personally supervise, explain Shiatsu terminology, review calendar buffers, and chase invoices. |
Dedicated Project Manager acts as your single point of contact ($0 cost).
|
| Bodywork & Wellness Fluency | Hit-or-miss talent with no grasp of contraindications, meridian systems, or pre-session loose clothing instructions. |
Internally vetted, trained in bodywork clinic SOPs, protected by mutual NDA.
|
| Hiring & Deployment Speed | Weeks wasted reviewing proposals, grading test appointment scripts, and dealing with freelancer ghosting. |
Instant delegation. We immediately assign the right wellness operations specialist.
|
| Billing & Invoicing | Messy multiple freelancer time logs, unpredictable currency conversions, and surprise invoices. |
Simple, unified, centralised USD invoicing with clear task-stamped work logs.
|
| Staff Turnover & Coverage | Freelancer disappears right during your busiest holiday gift-voucher rush? Your phone rings off the hook. |
Seamless internal replacements with zero workflow disruption or retraining overhead.
