Case Study · Wellness · Product Build · 2026

A wellness concierge that lives in your pocket, not your inbox.

Myhá curates a week of wellness for each client — the right sessions, in the right order, at the right studios across New York. We designed and built the product around it: a client app where a week arrives ready to approve, and a back office where one person can run it all.

Client

Myhá, a premium wellness concierge in New York City. Each client gets a personally curated week of sessions — Pilates, sauna, massage, training, breathwork — sequenced by a method, not a menu.

Scope

Product definition, UX and Figma prototype, brand-faithful front end with a custom intro animation, client web app, admin back office, payments, email, calendar export, and launch.

Outcome

A premium client experience that runs on a deliberately simple operation: one person can curate, publish, and track every client's week without leaving one screen.

The problem

Premium on the outside, spreadsheets on the inside

Myhá's founder had spent more than a year developing the concept: a wellness-forward lifestyle concierge that's hard to replicate at scale and priced like the hospitality it resembles. The service already worked — by hand. Weekly plans went out as emails. Approvals came back as replies. Changes happened over text. Payments were chased separately. The experience the client saw had to feel like a five-star hotel; the operation behind it had to fit one founder's week.

  1. 01

    The experience lived in email threads.

    A curated week deserved better than a Sunday email with a list in it. Clients had nowhere to see their week, tap a session, and know why it was chosen for them.

  2. 02

    Approval was a conversation, not a tap.

    “Looks good but swap Thursday” meant a reply, a re-send, another reply. Confirming a week and paying for it were two separate chores in two separate places.

  3. 03

    The founder was the system.

    Every schedule was built from scratch. Nothing was reusable. There was no single view of who needed a week built, who hadn't confirmed, and who had paid.

  4. 04

    It had to feel expensive and run cheap.

    The brief was explicit: the MVP should look and feel premium but operate simply. AI can automate later; first the workflow has to exist.

[Quote from the founder about the concept or the brief — e.g. "It needed to feel like a hotel concierge and run like a one-person shop."]

What we built

Two faces of one week

We built one product with two faces. Clients get a dark, editorial, premium app where their week arrives ready to approve. The founder gets a light, fast back office where a week is assembled from reusable session cards and published in minutes. The same week, seen from both sides.

What shipped

What shipped

Branded landing page with intro animation
Roots grow, the name arrives, the page opens: a first impression that matches the price point. Opening Note, Approach and Inquire sections; inquiry form with instant confirmation email.
CLIENT
Installable web app
Add-to-home-screen on iPhone and Android; clients open their week like an app, and a direct link in a text lands them straight on it.
CLIENT
The weekly view
A client's sessions grouped by day, each card expandable to the full detail: where, when, how long, how much, and why this session was chosen for them. Addresses open in Apple or Google Maps.
CLIENT
Approve, trim, confirm
Remove any session before confirming; the total recalculates; one tap opens checkout with Apple Pay and saved cards.
CLIENT
The standing week
After payment the week locks into a confirmed reference view with a “Request change” path, a calendar file for Apple or Google Calendar, and booking history.
CLIENT
Task queue
The back office home: who needs a week built, who's awaiting confirmation, who's confirmed and paid.
CONCIERGE
Session library
Reusable session cards (type, title, studio, address, time, cost, duration, benefits, why-this-session, note). Duplicate, edit, search, filter. Build once, place many times.
CONCIERGE
Weekly builder
Drag or add sessions from the library into Monday–Sunday, several per day, personalize the “why” per client, see the running total, preview exactly what the client will see, publish.
CONCIERGE
Confirmation & payment tracking
Per client, per week: pending, confirmed, paid, which sessions were declined, and a follow-up flag for anyone who's gone quiet.

Create a client in under a minute; profile with preferences, consultation notes and history.

An impromptu session added to an already-confirmed week, approved and paid on its own. [confirm]
BOTH

One week, curated.

Here's a single week for a single client, from inquiry to Sunday night — as it moves between the concierge and the client.

Myhá
Thanks for reaching out.
Step 1 — Inquire

It starts on the landing page: the roots, the name, a short note on the approach, and a form.

Step 2 — Consult

After a consultation, the concierge creates the client in under a minute — preferences, notes, the shape of their life.

Step 3 — Build

The week is assembled from the session library — reusable cards for studios and sessions the concierge already trusts — placed into Monday through Sunday, with a personal “why this session” on each.

Step 4 — Publish

Preview it exactly as the client will see it. Publish. An email goes out: your week is ready.

Step 5 — Approve

The client opens the week, taps into a session to read why it's there, drops the one they can't make, and watches the total update.

Step 6 — Confirm & pay

One tap. Apple Pay. The week locks into a standing reference, a calendar file lands, and a confirmation email follows.

Step 7 — Live

The night before each session, a reminder with the address and a map link. Sunday, the next week arrives.

Seven steps, two screens, one person running it. That's the whole operation.

The brand, in motion

Deep black, warm cream, and vivid green.

The founder came with a clear visual language and an intro animation he'd been prototyping himself: roots growing toward a name; tiles like fragmented pieces of a life that come together into something coherent through the method. We tuned the timing, built it as lightweight code rather than video, and carried the same language through every screen, every email, and the á in the name.

The client sees fewer messages and a better experience. The concierge does less and sees more.

A week you can hold.

Clients open an app, not a thread. Every session says where, when, how much and why. The week is confirmed in one tap and lives on their phone and calendar.

A back office that fits one person.

Reusable sessions, a drag-and-drop week, a queue that shows exactly who needs what. Building a week is a few minutes of placement, not an afternoon of writing.

Premium without the overhead.

The experience carries the brand's price point; the operation runs on one screen, low hosting cost, and automated email — with room for AI to take over the scheduling later.

How we delivered

How we delivered

  1. [Mon YYYY]

    Review

    Read the founder's product requirements and an existing proposal; identified where the stack and the scope could be simpler and cheaper to run.

  2. [Mon YYYY]

    Prototype in hours

    Clickable Figma prototype of the landing page, client dashboard and admin panel, turned around before the first call, so the conversation was about the product instead of a document.

  3. [Mon YYYY]

    Re-scope

    A lean React front end with a document database; the same feature set, about half the monthly hosting cost.

  4. [Mon YYYY]

    Brand & motion

    Worked from the founder's own animation prototypes and design notes to build the intro and carry the palette through every surface.

  5. [Mon YYYY]

    Build

    Client app, admin back office, checkout, transactional email, calendar export, installable web app.

  6. [Mon YYYY]

    Launch

    Live at myha.nyc, [X] weeks after kickoff, with a monthly retainer for hosting and care.
