Often with weight loss, it isn't just one thing. There are many components to losing weight and keeping it off long-term. We work with each and every one of our clients to customize a program that will bring them the success they need. Your customized weight loss program may include Nutritional Counseling, hormone weight loss therapy, Prolon, Vitamins, Supplements, or more.
Medical weight loss programs consist of a customized nutrition plan complete with prescription weight loss medication based on the individual client's history and wellness goals. If you would like VIVA Wellness to help you lose weight, our nurse practitioner will personally meet with you on a regular basis to keep you on track throughout your wellness journey.
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone produced by the placenta when a woman is pregnant. It can help to break down the fat in your body, and when used as a hormone injection for weight loss, can maintain your muscle while restarting your metabolism.

Our hormone weight loss therapy treatment is a customized 12-week plan which includes weekly visits with your VIVA Wellness Nurse Practitioner to adjust your dose as needed, daily injections (at home) of the hormone, and a specific diet and maintenance plan to optimize your results.Our clients have seen up to a 30 lb weight-loss over the first 40 days of the program.
The ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet was developed at the University of Southern California (USC) at the Longevity Institute by a team of PhDs and other doctors who specialize in obesity medicine. The diet includes a blend of different soups, bars, and snacks that have a specific caloric, fiber, and vitamin/mineral content to keep you full and help induce weight loss.

I had a very relaxing prenatal massage with Dana and loved the experience. Fell asleep at the end! Will re-book, for sure. The atmosphere itself is very relaxing and inviting.

I have just finished a series of 3 Colonics at Viva Wellness. My first experience at Viva and my first with colonics. The entire vibe is calm, peaceful and comforting at the spa. From staff, to rooms, to the treatment everything is top notch. Laura French , my Colonic hydrotherapist has been amazing in what could be a very uncomfortable treatment. She has educated me and made me feel incredibly comfortable and I am already feeling the benefits. I am hooked and look forward to my healing journey with Laura and trying different treatments at

Jennifer has been an incredible addition to my life for the past 4 years. I’ve known and seen Jennifer personally grow viva wellness into the amazing facility and team that it is today. Even back when Viva was a just small room, the goals, intent and passions were the same back then as they are now. Jennifer puts her patients first and cares to find out how she can best service them. I’ve never felt so supported in any journey and the amount of confidence she instills on you is incredible. You can see this proof in the amount of people you see and hear with amazing results! Jennifer is one

My first appointment at VIVA Wellness could have been anything but relaxing as it was my first journey with a colonic, however, I found the entire experience to leave me cleansed , rejuvenated and calm.

Laura French was amazing from the tour of the beautifully furnished, clean and peaceful spa space to the knowledge she shared about the colon and procedure before the service, to keeping me comfortable and informed during the colonic.

The entire staff was very welcoming and friendly and I booked two further colonics to keep my wellness journey going. I loved the shot of chlorophyll at checkout

This place changed my life! I gained 30 lbs during COVID and was depressed and hopeless. I was skeptical at first but after meeting with Jennifer, I decided to do the HCG diet. With the continued support of the staff and being determined and disciplined, I saw the weight fall off week after week. After 6 weeks I lost 35 lbs! I can't thank Viva Wellness enough!

I am currently working with Jennifer on weight loss and had my first colonic with Laura a few weeks ago and have a series of them set up for this week. Both are fantastic to work with! Extremely impressed with the facility, the staff and the services offered. Laura was intensely thorough and took time prior to my first colonic to make sure I understood the process and answered any questions I had. I feel great and hope to be feeling even better soon!

I've seen Jennifer and Rachel for help with weight loss and they've helped me lose 50 pounds so far since earlier this year! I look forward to my appointment every month! They truly care about what they do and helping people. All the staff is super friendly and there's such good energy! Besides weight loss they have so many amazing services. If you're looking to feel better about yourself in anyway, I would highly recommend you check out Viva Wellness!

I cannot praise Jennifer and the staff at VIVA Wellness enough. Everyone there is so understanding and professional. While receiving medical weight loss counseling with Jennifer, I'm proud to say that I have lost eighty pounds. I'm seventy-six years young and so it might have taken me a little longer time, about one year, but Jennifer was always so patient and always there providing guidance and support. Jennifer's personal attention makes me feel like I'm her only client. I've learned so much. Needless to say, I'm looking better, but most importantly, I'm feeling great!! My blood pressure returned

Everything about VIVA Wellness is an amazing, peaceful experience. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. They always offer a beverage prior to your service and definitely want to make you feel comfortable and stress-free (as possible).

I purchased an infrared sauna package after visiting, learning about all the services offered, and an infrared sauna session through a Yelp event. My subsequent visits have been fantastic. I love the sauna! There is even Bluetooth capabilities so you can listen to your own music while sweating the stress away. The sauna can fit 2 people (for the same price) and

I have been so fortunate to have been introduced to all of the incredible people and services offered at Viva Wellness. I have received medical weight loss counseling as well as colonics, both of which have been life changers!
Jennifer approaches health and weight loss counseling with a soulful, deep dive into what is at the root of the issue. It’s never about the number on the scale, which is something I really needed in order to feel comfortable starting this journey.
Sydney was the amazing soul who moved me through my very first colonic! Her kindness and incredibly positive energy took me

Have you ever experienced an infrared sauna? If not, please schedule an appointment at VIVA Wellness. I was able to enjoy a 60 minute session today and I'm hooked. When I arrived the receptionist offered me a warm welcome. The sauna was explained along with the process for the mood lighting. I felt amazing after the session, my skin feels softer and moisturized. I recommend hydrating after the session as you will sweat quite a bit. VIVA Wellness also offers massages and other wellness experiences.

Just the smell and decor of Viva is relaxing! My experience with Jennifer through weight loss has not only helped me physically, but also mentally throughout the past 6 months. She also referred me to Sydney, who performed body contouring on my legs and I notice results just after my first session! They both handled me with care and the utmost respect, and made me feel welcomed in their space. I am a lifelong client now!!

To start off, the staff at Viva Wellness is amazing. I had to cancel my original appointment super last minute because of something that came up at work and the staff was so helpful in rescheduling. We were greeted very kindly and given a tour of the spa- which is so lovely! Everything is beautifully decorated and very clean.

We got a total of an hour and 15 minutes for our experience- an hour in the sauna and 15 minutes afterwards to cool down, refresh, and get changed. The room the sauna is located in is so welcoming with lovely decor, plants, and essentials. There were towels, robes, cooling

The infrared sauna session is an incredible experience!

The minute I walked into the business, I was greeted warmly and offered a beverage.

Bonus: the decor is boho chic and contributes to an overall zen feel.

I'm a big fan of saunas for relaxation and health purposes but, the infrared light is a game-changer. I loved how you could select the light color based on how you're feeling or an area you are looking to improve. You can select one color and change at any time. Or, you can elect to cycle through all the colors. The freedom of choice and ability to play with the colors makes

I am absolutely amazed by the quality and standards held at VIVA WELLNESS. I have had colonics in North Carolina before and I can’t even begin to share the difference here at Viva! I felt so comfortable and at ease with Sydney... if you are nervous for your first colonic appointment please know you are in very trusted hands with Sydney. She makes you feel completely safe and provides you with conversation and laughter to keep your mind at ease. Colonics are life changing and if you are on the fence about making an appointment ... go for it and I promise you won’t regret it! The high vibe at

Lovely place!! When I walked in I was greeted by the friendly staff immediately and was offered coffee, water, or tea. The space smells so good and gives you a relaxed feeling from the second you walk in. I was there for an hour in the infrared sauna. This was my first time doing this, and it was an excellent experience. The sauna is in your own personal room where you can keep your things, and they have a fridge stocked with water for you. They also provide plenty of towels, robes, cold towels, and items to refresh after the sauna. Once you are in the sauna there is a timer that counts down your

I received a free 60-minute infrared sauna session through Yelp Elite to try out VIVA Wellness (Thank you!).

The staff was great to work with when I messed up my scheduling and responsive when I arrived for my appointment. I really enjoyed my experience with the infrared sauna - you can control the temperature and you leave the space feeling fully refreshed. At VIVA, the sauna is inside a room where you can get undressed and put back together after - the space includes a bathrobe, plenty of towels, cooling towels inside a tiny fridge, infused or water, cold water bottles, face/body wipes.
