Why This Matters for Energy Healers

He clears the room before the first client, sage and a few notes from a bowl, resetting the space from yesterday's energy. His morning client is a first-timer who booked half-skeptical, so he spends real time explaining what Reiki is and is not before she lies down: he'll work hands-on and hands-above the body, she may feel warmth or tingling or nothing at all, and none of it is a medical treatment. He scans her field, rests his hands at each center, lets the heat build at the spots that feel blocked. Midday he does a distance session, a regular across the country who books a set time for remote Reiki, and afterward he sends his notes on what he felt, because she is not in the room to know it happened. His afternoon is a chronic client three sessions into a six-pack, and he has to thumb back through messages to confirm where she is in the package. Between clients he clears the space again. He ends the day doing the only marketing that works for intangible work: gently following up with a client from last week to ask how she felt afterward, hoping she'll send the kind of testimonial that brings the next skeptic through the door.

Energy Healers face unique challenges: Clients arrive skeptical or with vague expectations, so a clear up-front explanation of what a Reiki or energy session is (and isn't) prevents disappointment. Remote and distance sessions are real bookings done at a set time without the client present, which confuses scheduling and 'did it happen' billing. Selling multi-session packages is how chronic clients actually progress, but tracking who's mid-package is a mess. The work is intangible, so testimonials and gentle follow-up are the entire marketing engine, and there's no system to capture them. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Energy Healer 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 Treatment table with a face cradle for hands-on and hands-above work 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.

FAQ

Is Nexa really a Square replacement for energy healers?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Square may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Square is $29/month — that's $1,168 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Nexa is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my Square data?

Export your data from Square as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
