Heidi is a vetted companion service for women in New York City. Book someone to sit with you at your appointment, walk with you through a hard day, or simply be present — safely, clearly, and on your terms. Not therapy. Not dating. Just human presence.
Launching in New York City. Nonsexual. Safe. Human.
What you can book
Going to a procedure, biopsy, or specialist alone is harder than it has to be. A Heidi companion accompanies you, waits with you, and gets you home safely.
Grief, burnout, anxiety, a hard conversation you're processing — sometimes you need a calm, present human being nearby. Not advice. Just presence.
A high-pressure errand, a neighborhood walk at night, moving through a stressful situation. A vetted companion handles it with you.
Clarity by design
Every session on Heidi is governed by an explicit, written agreement. Companionship on Heidi means human presence, active listening, and practical support — nothing more. Companions are screened and trained to understand these boundaries before they ever meet a client.
This isn't about rules. It's about building a space where women can actually relax.
Getting started
Trust & safety
Every Heidi companion goes through government ID verification, criminal history screening, and a personal interview before being approved. We monitor ongoing activity and respond to reports immediately.
Clients are also verified. Both sides of every session are accountable to each other.

No. Heidi companions are not licensed therapists and do not provide clinical mental health services. If you are in crisis, please contact a mental health professional or call 988.
No. All sessions are governed by a written Non-Sexual Services Agreement. Any companion who violates this policy is immediately and permanently removed from the platform.
Companions are vetted individuals — primarily men, and some women — who have passed identity verification and background screening. They are trained in active listening, boundary-setting, and professional conduct.
First sessions default to public locations during normal business hours. Private locations are available after both parties have established a positive history on the platform.
Pricing will be announced at launch. Heidi is currently accepting waitlist signups.
