Vive Health is the brand-new online arm of the exciting and successful business – Vive, Life is Now.
For over six years, Matt Steinacher and Marilyn Lemaire have been providing an exceptional space to access health food, clinical services and health education. Vive now has a well-respected name for both service and professional knowledge for customers and clients all across Brisbane.
Shortly after opening it was realised that in order to fully cater for their customers, there was a need for Vive to move online and offer products for sale through the internet. As customer and client demand has grown for online trading, so too has the pressure to complete the business model by offering customers the added value of being able to shop online.
So after years of careful planning, here it is!
The Organic Online Supermarket and Vitamin Store stocks an extensive range of organic groceries, bulk foods, vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and dried herbs. The difference between Vive Health and other online stores is that Vive is owned and operated by a team of qualified Naturopaths and Nutritionists whose aim is to provide professional guidance and friendly service.
The Online Store
What the Store Specialises in:
- Organic & Whole Foods
A passion for organics was the seed that grew into Vive. Organic foods are grown and produced in ways which avoid using synthetic chemicals or genetic modification (non GM). They are also produced to strict standards of animal welfare and sustainability, aiming to provide the most natural, health-promoting and wholesome products. Some of the benefits of choosing organic include improvements in taste and nutrition, promoting sustainable practices for future generations, reducing your chemical exposure, protecting the environment and supporting small farmers.
- Gluten Free Foods
Vive Health is known as the premium online health food store for gluten free products. Not only do all of the products come from great brands, they also undergo rigorous testing – in the kitchens of the Vive Practitioners. Yum!

About Us
The philosophy at VIVE is “To assist every customer who comes to the Online Store to achieve optimal health.”
Vive believe that with organic and chemical free foods; and, if necessary, the correct supplements; they can assist our customers to achieve optimum health & vitality. They aim to assist all of their customers who suffer from compromised health to minimise their discomfort and accelerate recovery. Offering information to improve health is the greatest service Vive staff can offer. Once given the correct information, customers are able to make informed choices to support their health.
A passion for organics! Not only do Vive live and breathe their speech…they are passionately into organic food. Enough research is now out there to support the necessity of local organic farming as the primary sustainable option for our health, and economy. Large conventional farming techniques are not sustainable at the rate in which the world is developing. Herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, preservatives, colours, and flavourings all have a detrimental health effect. The work done in the Vive clinic repeatedly proves the health gains people achieve when many of these chemicals are removed and a healthy balanced organic diet is followed.
Holistic health, Conventional and Natural Medicines all have their place. Vive strongly advocate the balance of conventional and natural medicines. Individual primary health objectives are assessed from both a traditional and modern medical perspective. VIVE stresses the importance of a strong network of holistic medical Doctors, Naturopaths, Nutritionists, Homeopaths, Acupuncturists and Body Work Therapists.
Our History and Background
Taking a successful organic health food store and natural therapies clinic into the online market has been a goal of Marilyn Lemaire and Matt Steinacher since the opening of Vive in 2005.
Matt began working with business partner Marilyn Lemaire during his years of study when he worked at, and later practiced from Sunnybank Health Foods which was owned and operated at the time by Marilyn.
With a passion for food and organic growing methods Marilyn and Matt began working towards the organic food concept. It was at this stage that their dream to own and operate an organic health food centre that focused on clinical practice was nurtured.
Almost 2 years of planning and designing went into the current Vive retail store. However, shortly after opening it was realised that it would be difficult for our business to fully cater for our customers without moving into the world-wide web and offering products for sale over the internet. As customer demand has grown for online trading, so too has the pressure to complete our business model by offering our customers the added value of being able to shop online
As practitioners of natural medicine with over 30 years of health food experience, Marilyn and Matt understand the values of being able to give quality professional advice. Similarly we also understand the requirement to follow that information up with quality food and health supplements of an equally high standard. Our aim for our online business, similarly to our physical retail business, is to provide our customers with the most comprehensive knowledge on nutritional and herbal medicine anywhere in the world. To enable this, Vive is staffed by a team of highly qualified health care professionals with a broad range of expertise in the latest research on Nutritional and Herbal Medicine.
Matt Steinacher
Matt’s health career began in the fitness industry back in the mid 90s where he worked as a fitness instructor both in Australia and England. It was while working with clients in England that Matt recognised a considerable variance in performance, achievement and the recovery of individuals. With a desire to help these people achieve, Matt developed a greater interest in nutrition and discovered the value of herbal medicine. In 2000 Matt graduated in Naturopathy from the Australian College of Natural Medicine followed by a Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine) from Charles Sturt University in.
With a passion for food and organic growing methods, new business partner Marilyn Lemaire and Matt began the dream to own and operate an organic health food centre that focused on clinical practice.
Both Marilyn and Matt spent almost 2 years planning and designing the current Vive retail store. In 2011 Vive is now into it’s 6th year of business and has grown into a successful health food and clinical business. Vive now has a well respected name for both service and professional knowledge for customers and clients.
