Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Anastasia, though friends know me as Stasia. I’m a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, outdoor enthusiast, explorer, traveler, yogi, passionate foodie, and lover of all things health and wellness.
With endless diet trends and a constant flood of conflicting information, “living a healthy lifestyle” can feel like a maze. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be complicated.
True wellness isn’t about eating a salad every day or swearing off carbs—it’s about finding an integrative, holistic approach that genuinely works for YOU. It’s making small, consistent choices that build into meaningful, lasting change. It’s about filling your plate with whole, nourishing foods that uplift you mentally, physically, and emotionally. Most importantly of all, it’s about designing a life you absolutely love.
Think of this blog as your trusted resource for everything health and wellness, with a touch of travel and adventure (my favorite forms of self-love). Whether you’re here to boost your physical fitness, deepen your nutrition knowledge, manage stress, or just feel inspired—you’re in the right place.
Wellness
Wellness means something unique to each of us. I’m not here to tell you what to eat or how to live—just to share what’s helped me along my own health and wellness journey. The “healthy habits” you choose to embrace are yours to discover and make your own.
Food
Mindful eating and making nourishing choices can genuinely transform your health and vitality, and I firmly believe that food is medicine. Here, you’ll find a mix of wholesome, delicious recipes I’ve crafted in my own kitchen, along with favorites from trusted dietitians, bloggers, and health pros. And when I recommend a brand, you can trust it’s one I personally use and believe in.
Adventure
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." – Oscar Wilde
Adventure and travel are, without a doubt, my ultimate love languages. From trekking through the mountains of Peru to wandering ancient underground cities in Turkey to hiking the rugged trails of the Ozarks, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite experiences both in the United States and around the world.
