Anastasia provides therapeutic massage services using a variety of massage techniques for un’ina, “those who come to us,” at the Dena’ina Wellness Center.

Anastasia enjoys brightening an un’ina’s day by sharing a laugh and a smile while helping them relax and improve their functional mobility.

Anastasia is a graduate of the Therapeutic Massage Specialist Program at Alaska Career College. Prior to joining the staff at the Dena’ina Wellness Center, she worked in a sports medicine chiropractic clinic, where she treated people pre- and post-surgery, people experiencing chronic pain, and people with active lifestyles who may be prone to injury.

Anastasia enjoys working with people and working with her hands. She found massage therapy to be a perfect blend of the two.

Anastasia grew up with a subsistence lifestyle, and enjoys spending her free time harvesting plants, animals and marine life. She likes beachcombing and spending time outdoors. She is expanding her crafting skills to include hides, feathers and beadwork.
