Who We Are
Our Founder
A Journey to Empowerment
Vivienne Green transformed her personal pain into a powerful mission to empower women survivors of childhood abuse. Growing up in Jamaica, she faced profound challenges, enduring severe physical, mental, and sexual abuse. Denied the love and protection of her mother, she carried the weight of her trauma into adulthood. At 19, she moved to London seeking a fresh start, but the scars of her past continued to influence her choices, leading to destructive relationships and self-sabotaging behaviours that dimmed her light for years.
Motherhood marked a pivotal turning point in Vivienne’s life. As she struggled to bond with her children while grappling with depression and anxiety, she faced a critical moment in 2014 when her determination to retain custody of her children ignited a fierce resolve to heal. While therapy and parenting support provided a foundation, Vivienne’s true transformation began when she took her healing into her own hands. Immersing herself in self-education, holistic healing practices, and personal development, she rebuilt her sense of self, discovering tools that would later become the cornerstone of Rising Survivor’s programmes.
In 2020, she began sharing insights on social media, and in 2023, her story went viral – reaching over 4 million people worldwide. Today, she is committed to helping others reclaim their power, proving that healing is possible, and that pain can be transformed into purpose.
Through Rising Survivors, Vivienne channels her lived experience into guiding others toward emotional freedom and self-acceptance. Her mission is to empower women to rise beyond their past, offering a blend of holistic healing, personal development, and empathetic support. Vivienne’s story is testament to survivors that they are not alone and that lasting change is within reach, no matter where they are on their healing journey.
