Lauren Vaknine was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 2. Her childhood was markedly different from those of her peers as she battled this autoimmune disease, and all the most vivid memories of her childhood are either of or accompanied by the pain, disability and constant medical treatment that came with this disease. At the age of 18, after undergoing a chemo-based drug therapy, she became severely disabled: wheelchair-bound, facing the possible loss of one eye, struggling to eat or talk. When she was dismissed by her doctor of 14 years as just an unfortunate part of the 30% of people who do not respond well to that treatment, Lauren used her anger to fuel a decision that she would not be a statistic and that somehow she would figure out how to heal herself.
And that’s exactly what she did. Of course it didn’t happen overnight - proving the adage “healing is not a linear journey”, it took a decade of intensive self study and absolute dedication to her health, but finally Lauren went into remission. She now leads a vibrant life as a mother of two and shares her extensive knowledge and deep wisdom as a coach, teaching other women how to heal fully in all aspects of life, physical, mental and spiritual, in her signature course The Recondition Your Life Academy. Lauren is also a writer and public speaker. Her passion is to show others how to harness their own power to bring about radical change and healing in their lives.
But more than all of this very impressive CV, Lauren is a very dear friend, a spiritual sister. It has been a blessing to have her in my life and to call her friend, and I’m grateful for this opportunity to share her story with you.
