Matched to the Right Practitioner.
Compatibility and Fit over guesswork, in your Preferred Language and within your Budget.
Strong MatchBuilding Mental Healthcare Infrastructure For The Next Billion.
Connecting People, Practitioners, Insurers and Organizations into one Integrated, Intelligent Ecosystem for Care, Benefits and Payments, so Finding and Funding the Right Support is no longer Confusing, Costly or Lonely.
Built by Global Industry Experts Across Healthcare, Insurance, Banking and Technology
Good Care Is Available. Reaching it Should Not Be This Hard.
Billions need Support, and Practitioners are ready to give it. What stands between them is a Slow and Scattered System that People give up before Care even begins.
01Finding the Right Therapist is a Guessing Game
Where to start, who fits, what you can afford. Three unknowns, and most People stop at the first.
02Therapists Are Buried in Tedious Paperwork
Sessions, Notes, Scheduling and Billing scattered across five tools, eating hours every week that could have been Sessions.
03Online Only, or Too Far Away
Some weeks you need a Screen, some weeks a Real Room. Most services only offer one of the two.
04Paying for Care is Confusing and Slow
Costs are unclear upfront and Payouts crawl for months. Money should never be why Support stops.
Everything Mental Healthcare, All in One Place.
Heyrafiki links People, Therapists, Insurers and Organizations through One Private Layer for Care, Conversations, Benefits and Payments.
Strong MatchOne Universal Inbox for Every Channel
WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Gmail, flowing into One Place.

One Inbox, Every Conversation. Wherever it Starts, it Lands with You.
Care conversations happen everywhere: a WhatsApp at Midnight, an Instagram DM, an Email about a Referral. Heyrafiki brings every channel into One Calm Inbox, sorted by Client, with the full history attached.
A new Client writes at Midnight.
It is waiting for you in the morning, sorted, private and ready to answer, with nothing lost in a personal chat history.
