Holistic Habit Change Coaching for Women 35+ | The VIVO Method

Helping women 35+ create sustainable lifestyle change through mindset, movement and nutrition

I work with women over 35 who no longer feel comfortable in their bodies or fully at ease with themselves.

Many have tried different approaches — diets, training programs, or lifestyle changes — yet something still feels missing. Over time, they begin to wonder if it might be too late to start again.

Despite this, a part of them still desires change. Not perfection, but a way of living that feels healthier, calmer, and more aligned — physically and emotionally.

And this is precisely what I do with my habit change coaching.

My Journey Toward a Different Way of Supporting Women

My work didn’t start as a business — it began as a personal transformation. Leaving my homeland with my five-year-old son and facing uncertain odds reshaped my life and ignited a deeper sense of purpose.

From that experience grew a desire to support women in midlife who no longer feel comfortable in their bodies or fully connected to their lives, and who are searching for a lasting change.

Through years of working closely with clients, I began to notice a common pattern: many women had tried programs, diets, or training plans before, yet lasting change remained out of reach. Not because they lacked discipline, but because the deeper elements behind change and the importance of a personalized approach were often overlooked.

My name is Patricia,

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, and have been living abroad since November 2014.

At sixteen, I began my journey in the fitness industry as a hobby while attending university. Over the years, the world of fitness, well-being, and health has opened countless opportunities for me. I became a Les Mills instructor and trainer, represented my country in numerous countries, and trained over 600 individuals to become Les Mills instructors.

Through those years of working with so many people, I began to notice that physical training alone was often not enough to create lasting change. This realization became a key reason for exploring a more holistic approach to wellbeing.

Although I earned a degree in mechanical engineering, my passion led me to pursue a career in fitness and create my own unique concept and method.

With over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry and numerous certifications acquired along the way, I’ve developed powerful tools to assist my clients. I am a certified transformational coach, yoga teacher, personal trainer, and nutrition advisor. By the end of 2024, I also began specializing in perimenopause and menopause to better support women through these pivotal stages of life.

My focus is on guiding habit change and lifestyle transformation through inner work, helping women cultivate a healthy belief system tailored to their unique needs and life stages—empowering them to embrace new purposes and thrive.

Why Traditional Approaches Often Don’t Create Lasting Change

My approach goes beyond traditional fitness or coaching models. My goal is not to make women depend on coaching forever, but to give them the understanding, tools, and confidence to continue their journey independently — creating change that lasts long after our work together ends.

VIVOVibes takes a holistic perspective, recognizing that wellbeing cannot be divided into isolated areas. Real transformation happens when mindset, movement, and nutrition work together as parts of a whole life.

This philosophy is rooted in the VIVO Method — a framework built around mindset work, conscious nutrition, and empowering movement. Through this process, women learn to reconnect with themselves, build sustainable habits, and step into a healthier, more empowered way of living that positively influences not only their own lives but also the people around them.

The VIVO Method is the foundation behind all VIVOVibes services. It isn’t just another way to promote fitness and wellness; it’s a transformational framework designed to help you reconnect with yourself and nurture a sustainable lifestyle that adapts as you do. It equips you with the tools to break through limiting beliefs, embrace self-awareness, and build sustainable habits that align with your unique needs and life stage.

I recognize the deep connection between body, mind, and soul while respecting your unique needs and possibilities. Together, we’ll establish achievable, realistic, and sustainable habits to transform your life, one step at a time. You’ll receive dedicated support throughout your transformative journey.

The VIVO Method

This method integrates four core principles, represented by the acronym VIVO, supported by three foundational pillars: Mindset, Movement, and Nutrition.

VIVO to guide self-discovery and growth.

The Four Principles

  • V – Vision: Crafting a clear picture of the desired life, supported by self-reflection, goal-setting, and a sense of purpose.
  • I – Introspection: Looking inward to identify limiting beliefs, fostering self-awareness and emotional healing.
  • V – Vibrancy: Cultivating energy and joy through healthy habits and meaningful practices.
  • O – Ownership: Taking responsibility for growth and setbacks, reinforcing the power to shape one’s life.

The three pillars

Mindset

Mindset is the starting point for lasting change. A positive, growth-oriented outlook helps you reframe challenges, build inner strength, and discover what’s truly possible. The VIVO Method equips you with powerful tools, so that every step of your journey feels aligned, achievable, and inspired.

Nutrition

Nutrition to fuel both body and mind. Women learn:

  • The essential nutrients for each life stage
  • To embrace flexibility and adaptation over rigid diets, using Intuitive and Conscious Nutrition.

This encourages listening to the body’s natural hunger cues and emotional factors, creating a healthy, balanced relationship with food.

Movement

Movement is more than structured exercise; it’s physical activity that nourishes the body and uplifts the spirit. Personalized to each woman’s needs, movement is a tool for self-care, not a means to an end.

The change begins within yourself

Lasting external change begins with inner work. Sustainable lifestyle change emerges through self-awareness, mindset transformation, and a deeper connection with ourselves. By embracing a holistic approach to women’s wellbeing, we learn to honor our needs, trust our inner voice, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives from the inside out.

My Mission

My mission is to create a positive impact on women’s lives by supporting sustainable lifestyle change — one habit at a time — beginning with the essential step of learning to prioritize themselves.

I believe that when women feel empowered, balanced, and fulfilled, their transformation extends far beyond their own lives, positively influencing their families, communities, and the world around them.

Through this work, I aim to inspire women to reconnect with themselves, embrace self-discovery, and build lives that feel healthier, more meaningful, and deeply aligned with who they truly are.
