You're not the only one who's had enough.
Childbirth Educators face unique challenges: 6-week class series sold as a flat package, not per-class. Hospital partnership vs solo-pricing split (hospitals pay $30/couple, solo gets $150). Partner attendance is optional — but changes class dynamic. Refund policy when labor starts early (it does). Doula referral kickbacks (or absence thereof) need tracking. On top of all that, HoneyBook charges $39/month ($468/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median childbirth educator earns $42,000/year. Software at $468/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Pelvic model and baby doll (for demonstration) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
HoneyBook is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
