What is Wellness? Wellness is not merely the absence of illness; it is a state of complete physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is Wholeness. After being diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis aged 2, I was wheelchair-bound and head-to-toe disabled by 18. After more than a decade of intensive self-study, learning everything I could about what makes the human body & mind work and not work, I reconditioned myself back to wellness, but only after learning that I couldn’t just heal my body, I had to also heal the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of self too. If you want to heal one part of you, you have to heal the whole self. Based on this long and expansive journey, I created Reconditioned as a hub to integrate all modalities and learnings within the world of well-being in one place, and as a result, here is where you will find information on everything from nutrition and epigenetics, to conscious parenting, trauma, neuroplasticity, inner child healing, conscious relationships, intentional entrepreneurship, meditation, manifestation, spirituality and more. Whether you are suffering from chronic illness, raising children in a world of conflicting information, you‘re an entrepreneur wanting to step into your purpose or you simply want to feel empowered and motivated to become the best version of yourself, tune in as I work to uncover the most actionable ways to recondition ourselves back to wellness.

168: Root-Cause Healing with Biological Medicine w/Dr Dickson Thom
Tuesday Jan 14, 2025
Tuesday Jan 14, 2025
I was honoured to interview Dr Dickson Thom, who has been practising medicine for 50 years and is a pioneer in both naturopathic and biological medicine.
His clinic, The BioMed Centre in Scottsdale, Arizona, is truly unique, with every diagnostic test beyond our imagination, to get to the root cause of what is making each patient unwell, regardless of the potentially reductionist diagnosis they’ve been given, followed by every treatment option imaginable. His clinic is the kind that I’ve dreamed of for 2 decades now.
In this episode you’ll learn about:
- What biological medicine is, and why it’s so effective at healing most conditions
- How to treat Lyme and Mould exposure
- Why the label of your dis-ease doesn’t matter
- How homeopathics are used in this instance
- The importance of biological dentistry when it comes to healing
Dr Thom also offers courses which you can find here.

For this first episode of 2025, I’m so excited to share with you the conversation I recorded with Gabe Golden, award winning documentary film producer and writer.
Inspired by his 30 year challenge with rheumatoid arthritis - the same condition I was diagnosed with aged 2 and battled with for my whole life - Gabe produced and directed “Lighting The Path” a feature film and multi-episode series that tells his story and several others as they navigate the path to healing from the most severe of chronic illness and autoimmune disease.
It’s truly an inspirational and motivational watch.
In this episode we speak about what it really means to be “diagnosed with an autoimmune condition”, if anyone can heal, and how, at the heart of it, we do that.
If you or anyone you know suffers with autoimmune conditions, this episode is a must for you, as is Gabe’s documentary.

163: The Journey of Cellular Healing to Heal Tumours & More w/Brandon Bays
Tuesday Nov 26, 2024
Tuesday Nov 26, 2024
If ever there was a full-circle, 360, “pinch me” moment, it was this one. When I was 18 and wheelchair-bound, unable to move from my couch until someone came in to feed me and take me to the toilet, one day, my mum’s friend volunteered, and brought with her a cassette tape with the Brandon Bays Healing Sands Meditation, and an intro to The Journey Method.
It was the first meditation I ever did, my first insight into what healing the whole self meant, and was the beginning of my journey, really. I’ve meditated every day since.
In this episode I got to interview Brandon Bays herself, and hear all about how The Journey has helped hundreds of thousands of people heal.
You can find out more about The Journey here
You can listen to the Healing Sands meditation here

162: RISE - How to Shift Your Identity to Change Your Reality
Tuesday Nov 19, 2024
Tuesday Nov 19, 2024
When people join my RISE membership, in the very first module I tell them they think this is about inner child healing and shadow work and health optimisation and ancestral healing and all the other parts of the course that you go through within RISE, but that what this course is actually about, is identity. And the truth is, for every part of your life that you want to heal, or improve, it all comes down to identity above all else.
In this episode I show you just how to shift your identity to make this happen.
We’ve created a free resource to help you implement your chosen identity and you can download that here.
