Easy Tidings is a service that connects people with companions for uplifting calls and mail. We slow down the pace of communication, provide personalized contact, and truly listen to your thoughts and concerns. As a professional service, we offer the ear of friendship without gossip or your story getting back to your family and friends.
Easy Tidings offers a variety of communication types, including phone and video chats, messaging and texts, and mail correspondence. We also can keep a figurative eye on your well-being and conduct regular wellness checks. For care companion services, we maintain records and provide self-service reports and email updates.

No, Easy Tidings does not provide licensed therapists, but we do offer a listening ear and make helpful suggestions like a good friend would.

Easy Tidings requires very limited information from you, just enough to get started. However, whatever you are comfortable sharing will help us become lasting friends.

Confidentiality to our best ability is key. See also our Privacy Policy.
