Aveen Banich

Aveen Banich is a board certified ophthalmologist, certified yoga teacher and reiki master. She is also mother to four young children and a dynamic facilitator who offers workshops on meditation and self-empowerment.

After more than a decade of pushing forward, balancing a high-powered medical career with the demands of motherhood, Aveen realized that though she had crossed everything off her list of goals, her life still felt as if something was missing. Though she had “arrived,” she still felt lost. She craved something more, but didn’t know what it was.

This is when life became truly interesting. Aveen began to see and hear beyond the reality she had known until this moment. Her mind and heart were stretched past what she had considered possible as startling visions and imagery overtook her time and time again. These mystical and transformative experiences were at first deeply unsettling, frightening even—her background in science forced her to ask the toughest of questions: “am I going crazy?”—but as she learned to view these experiences as transmissions of wisdom, teachings that would forever alter how she moved through her world and interacted with others, her life shifted into a daily experience of color, magic and wonder.
