About me
Hello, I’m Vivienne Maidens, certified qualified Health Coach and studied at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. I want to help as many people as possible to experience the abundant life through a healthy holistic lifestyle. I am also a registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner with vast experience in oncology, breast health and cancer recovery.
I come from New Zealand (Aotearoa) where I grew up spending many years living in rural areas of the North Island and Auckland, known as the city of sails. I then moved for several years to the sunny east coast of Australia, later moving to the dry and thirsty outback of Australia with my husband and two young children before returning to my beloved New Zealand. Fast forward 12 years, the millennium year and a new chapter in my life began, landing in the big city of London. What a tremendous change though I embraced it and I have never regretted it. London (the centre of the world) with its diverse population, culture and opportunities for travel adventures around UK and Europe which I love so much.
For the past 26 years I have been immersed in oncology nursing of which 21 years has been in London, practicing as a registered clinical nurse specialist in the wonderful NHS environment within solid tumour treatments and breast cancer. I later specialised in breast diagnostics and recovery from breast cancer treatment as an advanced nurse practitioner in a specialist cancer hospital.
I have always been passionate about diet and a healthy way of living, helping people experience a simple uncomplicated approach to health and wellbeing. At the beginning of 2020 I had an opportunity to study at the College of Naturopathic Medicine to become a certified health coach. which has given me the extra tools to offer a holistic approach in health for individual clients, and groups of people.
If you are seeking to adopt a simple sustainable healthy lifestyle through balanced nutrition, restorative exercise, restful sleep and healthy lifestyle choices, I can support you to reach your defined health goals by helping you make changes for a complete new sense of wellbeing so you can become the best version of yourself.
