Working as an RN and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), Viva was provided with the opportunity to follow her passion for health, fitness, and the outdoors~ especially time spent by the water~ completing training to become a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, RYT 200 through Wilmington Yoga Center, a certified stand up paddleboard yoga and fitness instructor through the WPA and Paddle Into Fitness, and a certified XPT Coach.  

​

With a desire to share her passion and help others on their wellness journeys, Viva launched Genesis SUP Yoga and Fitness, which provided yoga and fitness classes in a “floating studio”- combining movement with the healing benefits of being on the water, offering an experience that nourishes mind, body and spirit. 

 

With the intention of merging her love of nursing, health and wellness coaching and fitness, Viva later combined her board certification as a Health and Wellness Coach with her education and experience as a Registered Nurse, completing training through the Integrative Nurse Coach Academy (INCA) receiving board certification as an Integrative Nurse Coach (NC-BC) and establishing AquaGenesis Wellness PLLC.

 

As a lifelong learner, she has completed training in integrative, lifestyle and longevity medicine, health optimization, Blue Zones® lifestyle principles and has most recently earned certification as a Lifestyle Medicine Coach through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine® in partnership with Wellcoaches® as well as certification as a Menopause Health and Fitness Specialist.
