Hi, I’m Vivian Avowlanou
Founder of Vivahealthy™ | CINHC, RHIT
I know how unsettling it can feel when your blood pressure continues to rise even though you believe you are doing the right things for your health. My own blood pressure once reached 165/92.
After developing a cough while taking lisinopril, I began looking more closely at how my nutrition, hydration, meal timing, movement, sleep, and stress connected with my readings. While remaining under my physician’s care, I made consistent lifestyle changes and tracked my patterns. Over time, my readings stabilized around 115/75 to 118/77, and my physician discontinued lisinopril. This is my personal experience, not a promise of what another person will experience.
Why I Founded Vivahealthy™
My experience taught me how important it is to understand what may be affecting your readings and to have support while building sustainable daily habits.
My commitment is also deeply personal. My father lived with high blood pressure and later experienced a stroke that left him dependent on a wheelchair until his passing. His experience strengthened my desire to encourage others to become informed and active participants in their health before serious complications change their lives.
I founded Vivahealthy™ as a virtual blood pressure lifestyle coaching company based in Richmond, Virginia. I work with adults 30+ whose blood pressure remains high or unpredictable, including people already taking medication. Through personalized one-on-one coaching, I guide clients in understanding the daily patterns affecting their readings and building sustainable daily habits to lower and stabilize their blood pressure alongside medical care.
My Coaching Approach
We look at daily patterns, identify practical areas for change, and build steps that fit the client’s life.
Understanding before adjustment
We explore what may be influencing your readings before making any changes.
Progress over perfection
Small, steady improvements matter more than perfect days.
Consistency over extremes
Sustainable habits are built gradually, not through drastic swings.
Experience and Qualifications
I bring 14 years of experience coaching people with high blood pressure. This work began long before I became certified and was shaped by my father’s experience with high blood pressure and stroke, as well as my own blood pressure journey. I later chose to deepen that practical experience through formal education and became a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I also bring nearly twenty years of experience in healthcare and health information, which strengthened my respect for responsible coaching boundaries and the importance of working alongside medical care. This combination of personal experience, practical coaching experience, professional training, and healthcare knowledge shapes the compassionate, personalized support I provide today.
