Vivien Marie Murphy is a seasoned healthcare professional with over 35 years of experience in both hospital and clinical settings. As an APRN Nurse Practitioner specializing in Family Practice with a certification in Adult Acute Care, Vivien offers TELEMEDICINE to accommodate her patients. Vivien combines her extensive knowledge with a compassionate approach to care. A devoted mother of four young men and an enthusiastic scuba diving aficionado, she brings a personal touch to her practice, understanding the challenges that many women face during life transitions.
Vivien’s commitment to holistic healthcare was deeply influenced by her own menopause journey, where she experienced debilitating symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, and severe emotional shifts. Her struggles included heavy menstrual cycles that required multiple blood transfusions and ultimately led to a hysterectomy. Frustrated with the “band-aid” solutions offered by conventional medicine, she sought innovative alternatives, exploring hypnotherapy, wellness coaching, and functional medicine. This transformative experience fueled her passion for supporting women as they navigate menopause. Additionally, she supports men’s health by providing evaluations for low testosterone, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), food sensitivity testing, and wellness exams.
To enhance her expertise, Vivien has completed advanced training at the Burrell Academy of Menopause Transition, the Katherine Colas Academy for Accredited Menopause Training, and the BHRT Academy for Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Additionally, she has specialized training in hypnotherapy from the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy. These qualifications empower her to offer comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of women during menopause.
Vivien's approach is rooted in the principles of functional medicine, focusing on treating the whole person rather than just addressing symptoms. She takes the time to listen to her clients, understanding their individual health concerns and goals. Together, they develop customized treatment programs that may include hypnotherapy, health coaching, and natural menopause management options like Bio-Identical Hormones. Vivien is dedicated to helping her patients achieve vibrant health and optimal wellness while successfully balancing their personal and professional lives.
