Connections in Recovery (CiR) is thrilled to be spotlighted in the London Defender, marking a significant milestone in our journey to promote healthier living. Founders Lauren Arborio and Patty Baret, leveraging their profound understanding of the complexities within the wellness and recovery industries, have launched CiR Wellness. This innovative platform is designed to seamlessly connect individuals to a global network of wellness professionals, offering both comprehensive packages and customizable à la carte services. From nutritionists and fitness trainers to yoga instructors and holistic practitioners, CiR Wellness provides personalized guidance, ensuring each client receives the support necessary to stay motivated and achieve their wellness goals. This new venture builds upon the successful framework of their original initiative, Connections in Recovery, which continues to serve those battling mental health and substance misuse issues across major markets including California, New York, and Europe.
The initiative for CiR Wellness was sparked during the pandemic, a period of introspection and realization for Arborio about the need for a platform that could cater to anyone’s health aspirations. “CiR Wellness stands out by offering tailored experiences that resonate with individual wellness goals, ensuring options that accommodate personal commitments and financial considerations,” shares Arborio.
Baret reflects on the natural progression towards wellness. “We’ve long considered integrating a wellness aspect into our services. A few years ago, we explored bringing wellness into the substance disorder community by introducing more trauma-informed yoga at several C4 Recovery Foundation conferences. CiR offered these sessions before and right after the conferences ended (each on the same day). With our extensive experience through Connections in Recovery since 2011, we believe now is the opportune moment to launch CiR Wellness.”
