Boston is home to about 4,950,000 people. The above-average cost of living means reiki masters charge more for services — but their software costs the same as everywhere else. Pricey metros amplify the subscription drain.
Reiki Masters in Massachusetts need a Business License. Requirements vary — contact your city or county business licensing office for current details.
Insurance: $500K-$1M general liability
Continuing Education: Check with state licensing board
Massachusetts has a 5% + 4% surtax over $1M income tax. Flat 5% income tax plus 4% surtax on income over $1M. High cost of living. Boston metro is expensive but high-demand market. No local income taxes.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $828/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it billing, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most reiki masters in Boston patch together Vagaro, Acuity Scheduling, Square, HoneyBook and similar apps. That's $828/year in subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, those subscriptions total $4,140.
Nexa means you stop renting software. Your CRM, billing, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one system. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. No add-on costs. It's a pay once — eliminate recurring fees from day one. For reiki masters in Boston weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
My first session at 10 is distance reiki over video, thirty minutes, for a client in another state. I go over her intake notes first, confirm what she wants to focus on, then work through the hand positions from crown to feet with my camera off and send her a short summary of what I noticed afterward. At 11 I have an in-person session with a sound bath, seventy-five minutes: I clean the table, change the linens, set the singing bowls and the chimes within reach, and talk through her intake about sleep, stress and anything she doesn't want touched. The reiki is hands lightly on or just above the body, and the bowls go in the last twenty minutes while she rests. Afterward I give her water and time to sit before she drives. At 1 I eat over the intake forms for the afternoon. At 2 I do a ninety-minute chakra consult with a new client who also wants tarot, so I explain those are separate services and book the reading for another day. At 4 I drive to a client's new house for an energy clearing, working room by room with sage and a bell, windows open, and I tell her plainly this isn't a substitute for medical or mental-health care when she asks about her anxiety. At 6 I pack the bag, realize I never wrote down the sage and linens I restocked this morning, and send receipts and next-session reminders to today's clients.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a reiki master's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a reiki master — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
