About us

The name Viva was given to Yvette by a longtime friend who gave it to her while she was a part of a popular clique in High School. Everyone in the group had a nickname and Viva was a term of endearment that a friend has continued to use. Kinetic was born out of a holistic and scientific perspective that gives life to the moving force of Viva. Yvette is a British born and raised, with Caribbean parentage specifically from Montserrat, West Indies, and is a naturalized citizen of the United States. Yvette was introduced to a holistic way of life as a child where only natural drinks and home cooked meals were prepared. Yvette had the privilege of experiencing mauby, ginger beer, limeade, sorrel (hibiscus), ginseng and other natural drinks as a child. Before returning to school drinks known in the Caribbean as bush teas, such as senna and Aloe, were given to clean out (A.K.A wash out) your system. When we were sick ginger tea was generally given to help the stomach, and fever grass was boiled to help keep down the fever. Many natural remedies were provided through adolescence into adulthood that continue to be used. Yvette has long been interested in psychology, especially with the mind and how people present certain behaviors. Yvette was first introduced to different types of behaviors at five years old from one of her cousins who is in a similar field. Watching how her cousin presented and treated others allowed Yvette to become more interested in the field of psychology in high school and throughout college. Yvette is a Clinical Psychologist and is interested in a holistic perspective of treatment. Therapy includes other medical and holistic perspectives, as well as traditional Western and non-traditional non-Western methods. 

Reason for Starting Viva Kinetic: 

Viva Kinetic was born out of a need to inform individuals of holistic ways of treating ailments such as inflammatory disease. Yvette noticed that many people suffer from inflammation in their bodies, which continues because of poor diet, environment, toxins in the food, not enough water or poor hydration, Viva Kinetic would like to help those who need understanding that the physical and the mental are connected; and there are remedies other than traditional Western methods that can aide in the treatment of these ailments.
