This is fantastic and could be so helpful so many people. A piece of feedback on the sales page: it does a good job of describing the person who would be /gifting/ the service and they (we) need some guidance on how to gently bring it up to the recipients and sell them on investing the time and energy into it.

Currently, we offer coaching in English and Portuguese -- we'd love to add more in the future though! What language would your mom prefer?

Vietnamese, although Spanish might be helpful if you had to prioritize. Lots of kids of immigrants in the US where our parents don’t read English well enough to participate in things like this.

I agree, I would love to get a subscription por my parents but I’m sure they will not stick to it unless Spanish is supported.

That's a fantastic idea - we'll work on adding that!

Why does your "Contact Us" link just go to the FAQ page?

Hmm... I'm seeing that it links to mailto:support@mightyhealth.com - are you referring to the "Contact Us" at the very bottom of www.mightyhealth.com/gift, or somewhere else?

Isn't part of the idea here to _be invasive_ though? If part of the intent of the service is change behavior then the coach must interject themselves into the clients' lives in order to create action. How would you see the minimal invasiveness of email aligning with such a call to action? (hope this doesn't come across as an attack as it is not intended to. Just trying to understand how you see these two ideas as com…

I see your point, but I believe your goal is to be visible, not invasive. You are trying to help people along a path that they want to be on, not force people on a path that doesn't feel right to them. For me, texting is a path I won't walk. Email is a path I walk multiples time a day. Talk to me there, I'll see it, it will be injected into my life.

That makes sense - thank you for your reply!
