Reconditioned with Lauren Vaknine
by Lauren Vaknine
Reconditioned was created by host Lauren Vaknine, as a hub for all things wellness and self-development, not just a niche collection of topics within that, so that people can integrate the healing of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of self, which, as Lauren found in her own journey, really is the only way to achieve complete, whole-person healing.After being diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis aged 2, Lauren was wheelchair-bound by 18. After more than a decade immersed in intensive self-study, learning everything there was to learn about the human body and mind, Lauren finally reconditioned herself back to wellness and is now a fully able-bodied business woman, leading holistic life coach, speaker, writer, podcast host and mum of 2, with a passion for helping others achieve the same levels of transformation in their own lives. Tune into Reconditioned to find what you’re seeking in community, support, and answers to all your burning wellbeing questions,
