About Viva Wellness

Nurse-Led. Physician Supervised. Personally Delivered.

 Viva Wellness brings experienced clinical care beyond the hospital walls with mobile IV hydration and wellness treatments delivered wherever life takes you. Our experienced registered nurses provide personalized, concierge care under physician oversight—making wellness more convenient without compromising clinical standards. 

The Viva Wellness Story

Viva Wellness was created from a simple belief: exceptional care shouldn’t always require a trip to a clinic or hospital.


After more than 15 years in critical care nursing, founder Amanda Merkley, RN, BSN, CCRN, saw an opportunity to bring the same attention to safety, clinical judgment, and individualized care she valued at the bedside into a more personal and convenient setting.


Today, Viva Wellness brings nurse-led IV hydration and wellness therapy directly to clients throughout the Tri-Cities—at home, at work, and wherever life happens. Our goal is simple: make it easier to prioritize your well-being with care that is clinically grounded, thoughtfully personalized, and designed around you.

Amanda Merkley, RN, BSN, CCRN - Founder & Owner

  Amanda is a seasoned critical care nurse with more than 15 years of ICU experience, including a decade specializing in cardiovascular recovery, nursing education, and mentoring nurses in high-acuity settings. After years at the bedside—and time spent working with one of Arizona’s leading mobile IV companies—Amanda founded Viva Wellness to bring experienced, personalized nursing care to clients throughout the Tri-Cities in a way that feels convenient, approachable, and genuinely centered around each person.


Outside of nursing and Viva, Amanda is happiest outdoors—hiking, kayaking, traveling, or exploring somewhere new, usually with her goldendoodle, Lucie, close by. She loves cooking, staying active, spending time with friends and family, and is rarely without a podcast playing on a long walk or hike. That same love of connection, community, and living life well is a big part of what she hopes clients feel when they experience Viva.

Questions? We've Got Answers

Please reach out to us at vivawellnessiv@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

IV hydration therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. At Viva Wellness, treatments are administered by experienced registered nurses using physician-approved protocols, with options to personalize your treatment based on your individual needs and clinical appropriateness. 


You don’t have to figure it out alone. Our menu is designed around different wellness goals, but your Viva nurse will review your health history, medications, current needs, and treatment goals before your IV. We can help you choose an option and make clinically appropriate adjustments or add-ons when needed. 


Client safety is at the center of every Viva treatment. All IVs are administered by experienced registered nurses under physician-approved protocols, and each client completes a health screening before treatment. Certain health conditions, medications, pregnancy, or other factors may affect which treatments are appropriate, and your nurse will review these with you before proceeding. 


 Most IV treatments take approximately 45–60 minutes once your infusion begins, although timing can vary depending on the treatment selected and your individual needs. NAD+ infusions typically require additional time. Because Viva comes directly to you, you can relax at home, continue working, or enjoy your treatment with friends while we take care of the rest. 


Some supplements may be appropriate during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, while others are not recommended. Please let us know when booking so our nursing team can review your health history and treatment options. When appropriate, we may also recommend discussing IV therapy with your OB or healthcare provider before treatment. 


We’re fully mobile and bring Viva directly to you throughout the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas. Treatments can be provided at your home, workplace, hotel, vacation rental, or approved event location. Travel fees may apply outside our standard service area—just reach out if you’re unsure whether we come to you. 


Yes. Viva Wellness accepts HSA and FSA cards as payment. Eligibility and reimbursement are determined by your individual plan, so we recommend checking with your HSA/FSA administrator if you have questions about coverage. 


Yes. New clients complete a brief health history, intake, and consent forms before treatment. Completing your forms ahead of time gives your nurse an opportunity to review important health information and helps make your appointment as smooth as possible. 


Your Viva nurse will review your health history, medications, current needs, and treatment goals before beginning. We’ll check appropriate vital signs, answer any questions, and confirm your treatment plan before starting your IV. Then it’s time to get comfortable while your nurse takes care of the rest. 


Absolutely. Viva can bring the IV experience to friends, bridal parties, corporate wellness events, golf outings, celebrations, and other groups. Groups of up to seven receive 10% off treatments, and groups of eight or more receive 20% off. Contact us and we’ll help coordinate the details.
