Grounded Magic
Lauren Mahana
Intuitive Healer
Lauren Mahana is a gifted intuitive healer, tarot reader, birth worker, and the enchanting podcast host of Magic On The Patio. She is also a co-author of Labor Like A Goddess: A Fearless Guide to Preparing for the 7 Gates of Pregnancy and Birth. At the age of 14, Lauren embarked on her intricate spiritual journey with her first tarot deck, setting the stage for a profound exploration of her soul. During her late teens and twenties in the vibrant tapestry of New York City, she felt adrift, traversing various paths through colleges, retail, the bustling restaurant scene, and merchandising—a quest that left her pondering why none resonated with her spirit. Ultimately, Lauren chose to shift her mindset and seek work that would nourish her very essence.
Her transformative journey took a magical turn when she began working at a local herb shop in Brooklyn, reigniting her spiritual calling. As she immersed herself in herbalism, Reiki, shamanic healing, and psychic development, Lauren unearthed the truth that she had always been a healer at heart. Initially nurturing a small herbal practice, she later wove it together with Reiki and tarot. Upon entering motherhood, a profound desire to support fellow women during childbirth blossomed within her, guiding her toward becoming a birth worker—an endeavor that beautifully aligned with her evolving Intuitive Healing Practice.
In 2018, the stars aligned, and Lauren secured a publishing deal with Hayhouse Publishing. During the final months of her pregnancy and the early days of motherhood, she co-authored Labor Like A Goddess, an experience that further illuminated her path toward healing the collective. This inspiration propelled her to launch Magic On The Patio, a podcast that creates a sacred space for the exploration of the intersections between the mundane and the mystical.
For the past two decades, Lauren has dedicated herself to the art of exploration, study, and the refinement of her gifts as a holistic healer. Her passion is fueled by a deep yearning to mend spiritual wounds, fostering transformation within the collective soul.
Currently, Lauren's magical endeavors encompass individual client sessions through tarot, guidance and mentoring, hosting both private and public events, recording multiple episodes of MOTP each month, and contemplating the creation of a new book!
