Farah Siddiq is an Afghan-American tech founder, teacher and healer. She’s the CEO and Co-Founder of a startup called iAscend, a social marketplace for holistic health and healing experiences, where wellness is right and not a privilege.

She is trained in three forms of energy healing: Usui Reiki, Angelic and her own method Cosmic Reiki combining astrology and energy medicine. Turning wounds into medicine is her expertise. She has worked on clients who have been terminally ill, in transition life to death and have had severe PTSD. She’s taught hundreds of people reiki and has had thousands of people transform through her healing workshops.

She knows firsthand how important it is to embrace your highest incarnation, and not to suppress your vision for the world no matter how outlandish it might seem. The only way to be a conduit for the infinite power of the universe is by aligning your actions with your inspiration and letting the energy flow. Of course, the highest power any of us can channel is the power of love, the power of compassion, and no matter how high our aspirations take us, we must never forget that we are here to serve. Starting with ourselves, it is our responsibility to treat the world with care, build a more compassionate community, and move forward together in unity.
