One thing about me, I'm going to make a change. This is what this first post is all about.
It is the first day of Spring, so it is only fitting that I bring in new fresh energy with the primary goal of Growth and Authenticity.
I have unofficially pre-launched a rebrand of Rooted Vigor, known as Rivy Health.
I am literally starting from scratch with this rebrand.
Yes, I have deleted all courses, programs, and prescheduled content, and I am in the process of deleting social media content that no longer aligns with this growth.
Why? I want to make sure I am serving as the hands and feet of the Almighty Creator, the One True God.
The term Rivy is special to me. It is important because it signifies a new found peaceful transition in my walk with the Almighty Creator, which is what I will rely on as this brand and practice scales.
For context, Rivy stands for "Rooted in Vigor & Yah". This is exactly the theme of my new season as I walk closer to the Almighty.
The name "Rivy" is also connected to the Hebrew name Rivka (Rebecca, the woman who birth a nation with Ya'akov and Esau) and that name is believed to mean to tie or to join. I am tying up loose ends and joining my community to make a positive change.
To be Rooted in Vigor means to be grounded in physical (and mental) strength and good health.
To be Rooted in YAH means to be filled with the Holy Ruach (Spirit) and to lean on the Almighty to guide footsteps in the walk of life.
Two aspects, that I will personally and professionally rely on going forth.
For the past year, I ran (not walked) back to the Almighty and this experience has been life-altering, to say the least.
It has also changed the direction and cadence of how I wish to give care.
With Rivy, things are about to scale and prosper -- quickly, but I want to make sure I glide this simple path heel striking in the right (pre-destined) direction. So, I have decided to take my time for the next 2 years to make sure I rebirth this baby intuitively (not rushed) with all of the necessary attention it needs.
I will walk | create | practice | guide | lead | write | inspire, but with grace.
You will see so much pour out of Rivy during this time, and honestly, it is only the beginning.
What you are about to see is a transition reliant on the Almighty Creator. This new Ruach (spirit) led experience will focus on me including:
faith-based and lifestyle medicine, grounded primary care (not forced, but strategically invited)
a reintroduction of virtual and in-person care services
incorporating 5 lifestyle medicine-related pillars of Rivy, including nutrition, motion, connection, restoration, and abstention to help individuals discover their healing.
total focus on mind, body, AND spirit care, in every interaction.
The aim of my offerings in Rivy Health is to help you understand the importance of maintaining a healthy Temple (your emBodiment) and I want to offer the tools that will be helpful for you to get to that point.
I truly believe that we are unable to fully heal without a spiritual release and total surrender to the Almighty True God.
So, let's start here. Let's start now.
Hi, I am Mary. I am blessed to serve as your faith and lifestyle medicine-based Family Nurse Practitioner.

You can expect new courses, programs, resources, and notes to help you become Rooted in Vigor and in Yah (if that is what you also desire).
Either way, I hope you find your blessing.
I am happy to be here and I hope you are too.
Give Thanks,
Mary
