MommyCoach Launches First Live Experts Platform For Moms

NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today MommyCoach launched the world's first online platform connecting moms across the nation with expert coaches through live one-on-one video sessions.

This web-based platform revolutionizes the way moms seek advice, encouragement and support.  MommyCoach enables moms to connect through live-video sessions with hundreds of the nation's leading experts, specialists and coaches from anywhere at anytime, from the convenience of their own home. 

MommyCoach empowers moms to discuss topics of interest or concern with an expert coach live over video. The coaches cover seventy-five areas of expertise on which advice is most sought after by moms, within the broad categories of Parenting & Education, Food & Nutrition, Health & Fitness and Life & Work.

With the platform providing direct access to hundreds of the top coaches, moms are able to get answers, learn or find support from the convenience of their home or workplace and without the added cost and challenges of in-person sessions. By connecting through one-on-one video, moms are able to gain the full benefits of a face-to-face coaching session - have their specific questions addressed or experiences discussed - without needing to do so in-person. Live coaching sessions can be scheduled immediately or at moms' convenience and the ideal coach found by searching nationwide for the coach with the most relevant experience and best reviews by other moms.

"MommyCoach was founded to allow busy moms to get personalized expertise instantaneously rather than spending hours searching through generic resources. The missing link was a place where moms from all walks of life could connect with renowned coaches and experts in one online community," said Christophe Garnier, MommyCoach Founder & CEO.  "Our interactive platform will give moms the opportunity to access a network of professionals from the comfort of their own home or work." Garnier was previously the Co-Founder & CMO of Totsy, the flash sale site for moms where he grew Totsy membership to 4 Million mothers.

Along with Garnier, MommyCoach was created by moms for moms in partnership with Kidville, and co-founded by four experts in their fields:
