About Me
Hello! I'm Rivane, a passionate advocate for holistic health and wellness. As a medical doctor turned Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner, I dedicate my work to helping individuals embrace sustainable, healthy lifestyles.
My journey toward holistic health began in medicine, where I frequently saw patients struggling with the debilitating effects of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension- relying on a long list of medications and assistance. I noticed a troubling pattern: many of these patents were elderly and It had become the norm to expect aging to mean multiple illnesses & dependence on medications. But I knew it didn’t have to be that way. Many of these conditions can be prevented or improved with simple lifestyle changes. I’ve seen people in their 70s and 80s thriving—living independent lives.
Many people wanted to improve their health but didn’t know how to start or couldn’t sustain the changes long-term. Witnessing these struggles inspired me to shift my focus: to empower people to lead happier, healthier, and more active lives at any age.
With a Medical degree, a Master’s in Public Health specializing in Complementary & Alternative Medicine, certification in Holistic Nutrition, and years of experience, I blend conventional medical knowledge with holistic strategies to offer a comprehensive approach to wellness.
I help you take charge of your health by creating sustainable habits that align with your unique lifestyle, preferences, and goals. My approach combines coaching, community support, customized meal plans, quick and effective workouts, flavourful recipes, and practical strategies—making healthy living realistic, enjoyable, and lasting. Let's embark on this transformative journey together and unlock your full potential.
Let's not just live; let's thrive—even amidst the chaos of a busy schedule.

FAQs
What does Holistic approach mean?
A holistic approach means looking at the whole person—not just the physical symptoms you may be experiencing, but also exploring underlying root causes that might be contributing to your concerns. These causes could be physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual, as all these aspects are deeply connected. When one area is out of balance, it can affect the others. This approach reduces anything being overlooked, since symptoms can sometimes mask other issues. Together, we develop a personalized plan that supports your overall wellness, helping you feel balanced, energized, and empowered.
What if I already have a doctor’s plan?
Your doctor’s plan is essential because it addresses your medical needs and provides a foundation for your health. However, following a medical plan can sometimes feel overwhelming or confusing. That’s where coaching comes in: I help you put the plan into action by guiding you to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyle habits—like better nutrition, regular movement, stress management, and more.Sometimes, factors like nutrient imbalances, chronic stress, or environmental exposures can affect how well your body responds to treatment. Coaching helps optimize these areas to support your overall wellness and improve the effectiveness of your doctor’s care.
Is this coaching a replacement for my doctor’s care?
No, coaching is not a substitute for medical treatment or advice from your doctor. Instead, it’s designed to complement your existing healthcare by optimizing your health, focusing on the lifestyle habits that support your health long-term. Working together, we build sustainable habits tailored to your life, helping you feel better, boost your energy, and manage your health alongside the care you receive from your medical providers.
