Heidi connects womxn with vetted, compassionate support providers — for the moments when you need a human presence, not a prescription.
How It Works
Getting support shouldn't be complicated. Heidi makes it straightforward to find the right person at the right time.
Create your profile. We verify your identity so every person on the platform is who they say they are — on both sides.
Read profiles, reviews, and service offerings. Every provider has passed a background check, ID verification, and our orientation training.
Choose the type of support, location, and time that works for you. Set expectations together before the session begins.
What Heidi Offers
Heidi is for the moments your therapist can't be there — and for needs that don't fit neatly into a clinical appointment.
Someone to sit with you at a difficult appointment, drive you home, or just be present when you can't face it alone.
A compassionate companion when you're grieving, overwhelmed, or just need someone to witness what you're going through.
Walks, errands, outings — a warm presence in everyday life for those moments when isolation creeps in.
Hand-holding, sitting close, being held — only ever if desired, always within clear, agreed boundaries.
No advice unless asked. No fixing. Just a real person giving you their full, undivided attention.
Safety First
Every provider on Heidi has been verified. Every session is protected by clear consent frameworks and a platform that takes violations seriously.
Every provider completes government ID verification, criminal history screening, and sex offender registry checks across all 50 states.
Session-specific boundary agreements before every meeting. Clear rules. Clear consequences. No exceptions.
A report button during every active session, 24/7 support access, and zero tolerance for any violation of our non-sexual policy.
Steady Companion
A biopsy. A diagnosis. A procedure you've been anxious about for weeks. These are moments when you need a calm, knowledgeable presence — not a prescription. Heidi's Steady Companions are vetted nursing students who accompany you, sit with you, and hold your hand when the doctor gives you news you didn't expect.
What a Steady Companion is
Calm, informed presence at medical appointments, procedures, imaging, and consultations
Someone who understands medical environments and helps you feel less alone in them
Hand-holding, reassurance, and presence during frightening moments
Help remembering the questions you meant to ask
What a Steady Companion is not
Clinical care of any kind
Medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
A licensed clinician acting in a clinical capacity
Someone who makes decisions on your behalf
Steady Companions are enrolled in accredited nursing or pre-med programs. Their role on Heidi is emotional support and accompaniment only — not clinical care, nursing practice, or medical advice.
