we install it for you, once.
respira's team builds your center studio on your own domain — your calendar, your stripe, your forms, connected. no setup for you. no monthly seat fees.
a calm, private space where your tools already speak to each other.
CENTER STUDIO installs a practice operating system on your own domain. one time. no monthly fee.
↓ 01 / THE PREMISE & THE CHOICE
THE PREMISE
most good practitioners run their work across five or six tools. acuity for scheduling. stripe for payments. google drive for the pdfs. a squarespace site that doesn't talk to any of it.
center studio doesn't integrate your tools. it installs an operating system where those tools already speak to each other. natively. in both directions. you log in and everything is already talking.
what's left for you is the work you're actually here to do.
CHOSEN, NOT NEGOTIATED
you shouldn't have to pick. you shouldn't have to learn. you shouldn't have to run evaluations against six competing platforms for the privilege of doing your actual work.
so we picked. we chose the best tool for each job, scheduling, payments, forms, summaries, sessions, and we built the space where those tools already work together. you keep your accounts. you keep what you know. the decisions are already made.
this is the version of the operating-system metaphor that matters: best-of-breed components, one coherent surface.
02 / THE EIGHT TOOLS
now speaking to each other. still yours.
out of the box, these eight tools don't talk to each other. center studio is the wiring that makes them speak. one system, your accounts, your domain.

03 / THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE
what becomes possible on the other side.
everything your client does happens inside [one space]CENTER STUDIO. no redirects. no forwarded emails. no "check your spam folder." follow maya through seven days inside your portal — every tool she needs, already connected, speaking through center studio, and nothing she doesn't.

- books a session · MON · CAL.COM. maya finds you through a colleague. she picks a tuesday from your availability, on your domain. no branded booking page in the way.

- completes intake · TUE · TALLY. your intake form lives inside her portal. she fills it between sessions. answers come back to you shaped the way you asked for them.

- receives a transcript · WED · FATHOM. the session transcribes itself. you review it, decide what to share, and pass a clean read-along back to her — only the parts she should see.
- fills her guidebook · SUN · CENTER STUDIO. sunday evening she returns to her portal. you left a prompt in her guidebook — she writes back three paragraphs about the tightness in her shoulders. the work continues between sessions, in her words.
three things at once — held together as one calm thing.
one space for each of your clients.
every client gets their own private center studio on your domain. they book, pay, fill forms, meet you, read transcripts, and reflect — without ever leaving it.
the calm layer above your tools.
cal, stripe, tally, zoom, fathom — you keep owning them. center studio is the quiet orchestrator on top, so the tools stop being the work.
the tools under C, named one by one — and the clutter each one quietly retires from your practice.
- cal.com replaces calendly, acuity, tidycal, and the scheduler embedded in your website. free tier handles solo practice completely. clients book directly from your portal.
- stripe replaces paypal.me links sent over email, manual invoicing, and the awkward moment of asking a client for money they already paid. payments flow straight into your own stripe account, visible in the portal against the right client.
- tally replaces google forms you copy-paste answers out of, and the locked-in forms inside practice better or simplepractice. completed forms land in the client's record automatically. you always know who's filled what.
- fathom replaces otter, fireflies, grain, and the habit of writing session notes from memory. records and transcribes your sessions, then files the transcripts in the client's record. (english, spanish, french, german, portuguese — if you work in a language fathom doesn't cover, this one sits optional.)
- resend replaces mailchimp, kit, and the personal gmail you've been using for client emails. sends everything from your own branded domain — reminders, follow-ups, monthly updates — so clients see your practice name, not a generic newsletter template.
- zoom · meet · cal.com video your choice. zoom pro, google meet (free for 60-minute calls), or cal.com's built-in video room (free, unlimited). they all wire into your session pages the same way.
- your domain replaces the client dashboard on simplepractice, practice better, clarityflow, jane, and every other all-in-one platform. your clients visit your site, not someone else's software. the operating system is yours, on your domain, in your voice.
04 / WHAT THE SETUP INCLUDES
eleven things. all included.
- 01
your portal, on your domain
fully-branded client portal at a subdomain of your site, or one you already own. we build a design system from your existing brand (colours, typography, components) so the portal carries your language end to end. yours to keep.
- 02
scheduling that counts
cal.com wired so bookings, cancellations, and reschedules update your database. package credits decrement automatically.
- 03
payments on your stripe
you remain the merchant of record. money lands in your account. we never touch it.
- 04
forms that land
tally for intake, waivers, reflections, embedded inside the portal so clients never leave.
- 05
session summaries
fathom pushed into the session record. shared with the client only when you choose.
- 06
emails that sound like you
resend with your verified sending domain. branded reminders, receipts, cancellations. kill-switch if you need to pause.
- 07
data brought over
acuity, squarespace, notion, drive. we migrate what's worth migrating.
- 08
90-minute walkthrough
we sit together and cover every corner of the admin. recorded, yours.
- 09
thirty days of tweaks
small fixes and adjustments after launch. no clock-watching.
- 10
payments flow through you first
clients pay you in your own stripe. when a payment clears, stripe connect routes 7% to center studio in the same transaction. no invoices. no reconciliation. you keep 93%, always.
- 11
a private portal for every client
each client gets their own space inside your domain — where they book, pay, fill intakes, meet you, read transcripts, and reflect between sessions. they see only what's theirs. you see them all from one admin. this is what sits on the other side of every tool above.
05 / A PORTAL ALREADY IN THE WORLD

VISIT HER SITE →somatic psychotherapist. compassionate inquiry practitioner. co-founder of difuso in ibiza.
stephanie's portal replaced acuity, a scattered google drive, post-session emails, and a tally form she linked to from three different places. her clients now log in to one calm space. they see their upcoming sessions, their package balance, session transcripts from fathom when she shares them, and every form she's ever sent.
her brand. her domain. her language. center studio built the wiring.
06 / WHAT PRACTITIONERS SAY
the kind of words you can't write for yourself.
- A Bit of Magic
Mihai and I didn't just meet by chance, it felt like fate. I was stuck in the usual marketing noise, talking to people who all sounded the same. Then Mihai reached out, and from our first conversation, I knew he was different. He combines top-notch tech skills, AI mastery, and a creative touch with genuine human connection. There's a bit of magic in what he does, and it shows.
- Transformative Collaboration
As a solo entrepreneur, having Mihai as my producer has been the biggest gift imaginable. My strength lies in coaching and creating, but I often felt overwhelmed by the tech and marketing aspects of my business. Mihai not only handles these with expertise but also introduces my work to a wider community. The fact that we work together as a team, rather than me just 'hiring' him, speaks volumes about building a business with care.
- Ahead of the Curve
Having Mihai on my team over the past two years has been transformative. His intuitive grasp of design and architecture has been essential to our growth. He stays ahead of technological trends and listens deeply to understand exactly what's needed. His insights are always thoughtful, innovative, and aligned with my vision. I am deeply grateful for all he has contributed.

08 / WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WEBSITE
a front door to your operating system.
center studio is not a website builder. we install an operating system for your practice — the place where your clients actually do the work of being your client.
but if you don't have a website yet, landing directly on a login screen is a strange first experience. so we offer a small add-on: a single landing page, built on the design system we create from your brand, that welcomes clients before they log in. one page. your story, your work, how to get started, a clear path to the portal.
if you already have a website, you keep it. center studio lives at a subdomain or at /portal. your existing site stays your front door.
+€1,000 to €1,500 on top of setup.
one landing page, designed in the system we build for your portal, written from what you tell us about your practice. not a full website. a dignified entry.
OPTIONAL ADD-ON · ONE-TIME · ONLY IF YOU NEED IT
we don't build full websites, blog platforms, newsletter signup funnels, or marketing sites. if that's what you need, go to a web studio first, then come back to us for the portal.
09 / THE MATH
what you stop paying for.
a typical solo practice pays eight subscriptions to keep the business running. center studio replaces the surface — and routes the plumbing through tools that are free at solo scale.
TOOL BEFORE CENTER STUDIO AFTER CENTER STUDIO
practice management
simplepractice / therapynotes ~€69/month

TOTAL PER YEAR
€2,748

€2,748 back in your practice every year.
the one-time setup pays for itself in the first year. after that, the only cost you carry is 7% of what the portal earns you — and that only applies if it's earning.
every tool center studio uses has a free tier that fits a solo practice. the paid plan you currently have — zoom pro, or whatever — becomes optional, not required.

11 / QUESTIONS WORTH ANSWERING
-
who owns the portal?
you do. it lives on your domain. the source code is yours. the design system we build from your brand is yours. if we part ways tomorrow, nothing breaks. -
what if i already have stripe, cal.com, a calendar?
we wire into what you have. you keep your accounts. we don't make you move anything. -
how does the 7% actually work?
your clients pay you. the money lands in your own stripe first. when the payment clears, stripe connect automatically routes 7% to center studio. one transaction, split at the moment it happens. you never write a check. we never send an invoice. you don't have to reconcile anything. the split happens once, in the transaction your client already made. -
what happens if i don't earn through the portal one month?
nothing. there's no minimum, no floor, no retainer. the 7% only applies when payments actually flow. if you take a quiet month, if you take a sabbatical, if you pause sessions for any reason, you owe nothing until clients pay you again. -
is my clients' data private?
clients see only their own information. row-level security enforced at the database layer. you see everything about your clients. no one else does, including me. -
what if the 7% stops making sense later?
we can revisit. the rate is locked at setup but not sealed forever. if the economics shift for either of us, we can switch to a flat retainer, or wind the arrangement down. the portal code and your design system stay yours either way. this is a partnership, not a contract trap.
12 / SAY HELLO

13 / THE TEAM BEHIND THIS
CENTER STUDIO Respira is in good company.
we also build respira for wordpress, an ai infrastructure layer that lets claude, cursor, and other ai coding assistants edit real wordpress sites safely across twelve page builders. since launch it's been shipping to hundreds of sites, writing over a million lines of code for agencies and solo builders who need real work done fast.
the same discipline that goes into that product goes into every center studio portal. we know what it takes to build infrastructure that has to work, every day, under load, for real paying customers.
