You're not the only one who's had enough.
Ayurvedic Practitioners face unique challenges: Consultation fees vs herb-passthrough vs treatment-session pricing. Insurance gap — Ayurveda is rarely reimbursed in the US. Herbal supplement passthrough billing (your dispensary inventory). Multi-session protocols (panchakarma = 5-21 days, all paid up-front). Client education on dosha-balancing takes unbilled phone time. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median ayurvedic practitioner earns $35,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Pulse-reading and tongue-diagnosis training (NAMA-certified) 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.
Square is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
