The name heliobuddy
heliobuddy refers to the sun (Helio) — source of light, warmth and growth. Just as the sun helps plants grow by nourishing them with energy, heliobuddy helps people grow by nourishing them with insight, support and practical tools.
The team
heliobuddy is built by people who believe in a different approach.
