Changed at 37: 5 Midlife Habits That Helped Me Become and Stay an Active Woman
Wondering how to adapt when your body starts changing in your late 30s? Learn how I shifted my habits and found strength, clarity, and energy—and how you can too!
Many women reach a point where they no longer feel comfortable in their bodies or fully connected to their daily habits.
They may have tried diets, workout routines, or different wellness approaches, yet lasting change still feels out of reach.
Over time, frustration grows and motivation fades — especially as life becomes busier, priorities shift, and the body begins to change.
But the desire to feel stronger, healthier, and more in control of their lives never truly disappears.
That’s exactly why the VIVO Method was created — to help women create sustainable habit change through mindset, movement, and nutrition.
01
Transform your mindset by breaking down limiting beliefs and cultivating empowering beliefs that support the woman you are becoming.
02
Improve your relationship with food by understanding your needs and gaining the knowledge to make choices that truly nourish your body.
03
Explore and discover ways of moving your body that align with your unique needs, bring you joy, and support your physical well-being.
The VIVO Habits Program is a 12-week journey designed to help women create sustainable habit change through mindset, movement, and nutrition.

Her approach to support and help in her programs is very empathetic and professional. She has helped me see strengths I didn't know I had, or had forgotten about. This helped me move forward with determination in times when I felt stuck. Thanks to her sessions, today I trust myself more, set healthy boundaries, recognize who I am, and recognize what I truly want to move more confidently toward my goals. I higle recommend her to any woman who wants to grow, empower herself, and transform through selflove.Posted on Google Apoorva ShankarJuly 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so glad I finally decided to invest in strength training after thinking about it for a while- it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and well-being, especially because I chose to work with Patricia! She has been absolutely fantastic throughout the journey. She’s kind, considerate, and empathetic- always making you feel supported and understood. At the same time, she knows exactly how to push you to your limits in the right way, helping you grow stronger and more confident with every session. Her approach strikes the perfect balance between challenge and encouragement. On top of all that, Patricia (Patty) has become a dear friend.

I started my training with Patricia about half a year ago and couldn't be happier. Not only is she a reliable, skilled fitness coach matching the training to your condition and personal needs and circumstances, but also a person gifted with empathy and infectious enthusiasm rayonning an inspiring mental calm and strength, and who helped me keeping my head above water finding and a healthy routine during rather bumpy times. I am grateful for the challenging sports sessions, insightful advices while feeling always motivated by the way Patricia tackles every session as fresh and dedicated as if it was the first one. Even after the bumpy times have passed, I am happy to continue building sound, healthy and not restrictive routines, where sport doesn't feel like "you must", but "what a privilege that I am healthy and can". Thank you!Posted on Google Amber van GoghJune 15, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ik zocht een personal trainer die mij kon helpen met mijn mentale gezondheid en het positiever maken van mijn zelf beeld. Ik ben 3 maanden geleden begonnen met trainen bij Patricia. Ik had nooit gedacht dat ik na 3 maanden zou staan waar ik nu ben. Je kan met Patricia over alles praten, ze luistert goed en geeft je advies. Ook neemt ze met alles de tijd voor je. Ik dacht in het begin gewoon heel veel na waardoor de oefeningen bijvoorbeeld niet lukte of niet gingen zoals ze moesten gaan. Patricia blijft altijd heel rustig en support je op de juiste manier. Alles gaat op je eigen tempo. Stap voor stap. Als jij je maar goed voelt dan voelt zij zich ook goed. Patricia is echt een topper. Ze is echt een wereld vrouw, een super harde werker met haar hart op de goede plek. Ik had me oprecht geen betere personal trainer kunnen wensen.Posted on Google Eva MarcosMarch 2, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I turned 50, I decided to give myself as a present a personal trainer. Best gift ever! Patricia’s approach to training is multidimensional. She helps you get physically fit, mentally and emotionally fit, and spiritually fit, which leads to profound changes in overall wellness. She provides you with the appropriate resources to transform your body, mind, and spirit in ways that work best for you. I am very grateful for her love and motivation, an all the enjoyable sessions I have had during this year I have trained with her. And of course, looking forward to the second one! I truly recommend Patricia!Posted on Google Jannie SalgadoFebruary 3, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Patricia is een fijne professionele trainer die het maximale uit je probeert te halen en kijkt heel goed wat jouw lichaam nodig heeft. Echt een topper!Posted on Google Roos DJNovember 10, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Patricia’s ongelimiteerd positieve aanpak was precies wat mijn 14-jarige dochter nodig had. Een oase. Patricia motiveerde haar met geduld en aandacht, mijn dochter heeft meer zelfvertrouwen en is goed op weg naar een sportieve en gezonde levensstijl. Aanrader!
