  • Summary

  • Hi, I'm Vanja Banks


    As a Trauma-Informed Spiritual Astrologer, Reiki (Level 2) Practitioner, 200hr Yoga Teacher, and Herbalist, I know that everything is energy.


    I believe that each of us comes into this world whole and worthy, with a specific life purpose, which is contained within our astrological birth chart. When we step into our authentic path and soul purpose, we are not only serving our Highest Self, but the Universe as a whole.


    However, from the moment we are born, we begin forgetting and burying our authentic selves in order to conform to societal or familial expectations to gain love and acceptance. As a result, we often live in a hyper-masculine energy, people-pleasing and living life for others, seeking the external validation we so desperately desire.


    I apply my learned experience & wisdom to promote holistic healing by helping others cultivate a deep connection to their authentic Self. I work intimately with clients & share my wisdom through courses to help them reclaim lost parts of themselves, heal trauma, step into their power, and follow their own path, free of societal conditioning and familial patterns.


    Astrobloom Podcast is a place to bring the cosmos down to earth, connect with like-minded souls, have deep conversations about holistic healing, our humanity and our divinity so that we can be the most fulfilled versions of ourselves.

  • Finding Authenticity: Rock Bottoms & Somatic Healing with Bianca Uguccioni
    Apr 21 2024

    In this episode, I lead in with a brief dive into the Jupiter & Uranus conjunction and some suggested ritual practices to make the most of this rare energy. Then I am joined by Holistic Psychotherapist, Bianca Uguccioni, who shares her healing journey with us, including the rock bottom that led her to pursue therapy and find her true self. Bianca and I also discuss how our upbringing affects our relationships and the ability to live authentically later in life (hello Aries/Libra eclipse lessons!), as well as the huge role of the body in holistic healing (are we in Taurus season, or what?!).


    If you're someone who feels like the rug is getting pulled out from beneath you - you'll definitely want to listen to this episode. There is so much wisdom here.


    Join us as we discuss:

    Uranus & Jupiter - finding self-worth & trust amidst massive change

    What is holistic psychotherapy?

    How to embody spiritual practices in daily life

    Rock bottoms as re-alignment on the path to authenticity

    Benefits of somatic practices for nervous system regulation & holistic wellness

    Attachment versus authenticity & the Libra/Aries eclipses


    About Bianca:

    Bianca is a Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Affirmative Healing. Affirmative Healing was inspired by her healing journey, where she explored holistic practices and traditional therapy to address anxiety, grief, and self-doubt. Integrating mind, body, and soul into her healing work shifted her being, grounding her and enhancing her ability to surrender to life's highs and lows. Today, through continued use of these practices she can better manage feelings of anxiety, ride the waves of grief, and feel more rooted and connected to her authentic self and those she is in relationships and community with.


    Her offerings integrate the lessons learned from her experiences with formal clinical training to support holistic healing and transformation in those she has the privilege to work with.

  • Eclipse Season (Spring 2024) - Thrive Guide & Lunar Eclipse Ritual
    Mar 17 2024

    Join me for this solo episode to learn all about Spring 2024's potent eclipse portal. We're collectively learning how to balance the feminine & masculine energies within and without. This means that relationships are rapidly evolving, and the patterns that we learned to uphold in them. Contracts are being renegotiatied, and the scales are being re-balanced. This is a particularly activating eclipse for anyone with prominent cardinal energy (Cancer, Capricorn, Libra or Aries), but you will be affected wherever this energy is activated in your chart.


    If you'd like to dive deeper, there's only 7 spots open for a Mini Eclipse Reading & Aries Circle until April 7th. During the reading, I'll cover what you can expect from both eclipses in this portal, and guide you how to find surrender to the realignment at this time. Then you'll get to attend (or watch on your own time) the circle & ritual for the Aries Solar Eclipse to step into your courage & power on this major initiation.

    This package includes:

    • Message from the divine feminine oracle
    • Guidance on your journey to your authentic self
    • Journal prompts
    • Recording of the session
    • & FREE attendance to the potent Aries Solar Eclipse Circle & Ritual (virtual/replay) on April 8
