About

Parenting in the 21st century is complex with increasing incidences of developmental and behavioral issues in children and further exacerbated by the pressures of work on family life. Vitalxchange is a holistic virtual health platform that helps a parent show up confidently in all aspects of raising a child. The platform incorporates proprietary algorithms that uniquely combine live coaching, digital content and behavioral psychology to help families with their child’s development, behaviors, learning, and overall well-being. In a human-first delivery model, each family gets matched to Vitalguide, who is a child development expert or experienced parent based on where the family is in their journey. Families can access the platform through an all-inclusive monthly subscription model that they can purchase through their employer benefits programs or purchase directly from our website.
