Your supportive teacher bestie
AI-Powered Personalized Mentorship
Cost-effective, personalized teacher support
Our Approach
HeyBodhi delivers transformative, AI-powered coaching that provides teachers with 24/7 emotional support and personalized mentorship, reigniting their purpose and impact, reducing burnout.
Why HeyBodhi?
The Bodhi tree is where Buddha found enlightenment after nearly giving up. We named HeyBodhi after that moment—when exhaustion becomes breakthrough. Built by educators who've ugly-cried in staff bathrooms and written resignation letters at 3am, we understand the unique challenges teachers face.
HeyBodhi speaks teacher—no judgment, no generic advice. Teaching isn't hard because you're doing it wrong, it's hard because you're doing it right in a broken system. We're here for those moments when you need support from people who truly get it.
Our Story
Seven Years Ago
Sam was sobbing on a staff bathroom floor—crushed under the weight of her students' trauma with nowhere to turn. Years before that, at the beginning of her career, Neesha had fled social work after handling one of Texas's worst child abuse cases. Both had left careers they loved—not from lack of passion, but because these caring professionals were navigating overwhelming emotional weight alone.
In that shared understanding, Sam & Neesha came together to co-found the solution they needed: HeyBodhi
