Anastasia is an ICF-certified coach and the founder of Roots to Wisdom Coaching. Her path to this work was shaped by over three decades in senior leadership roles – spanning executive leadership, communications, product development, and marketing at companies like Procter & Gamble, CompuServe, MSN, and McGraw-Hill, as well as guiding organizations through strategic evolution at multiple tech startups and in a Vice President role at Workstate.
This diverse corporate experience, combined with her work as a doula and childbirth educator at California Pacific Medical Center, has given Anastasia a unique perspective on both professional growth and personal transitions. Whether supporting executives through career pivots or individuals navigating life’s major turning points, she brings attentive presence, emotional intelligence, and practical strategy to help clients find clear-sightedness and take empowered action.
Anastasia holds a B.A. in Psychology from San Diego State University and is certified as a Life Coach through Thriving Coach Academy. Her collaborative, strengths-based approach is rooted in the belief that people are not problems to be fixed, but whole, resourceful humans who benefit from perspective, space to reflect and question, and steady mentorship.
In her coaching work, clients often say they feel supported and gently challenged – a balance that builds insight, resilience, and lasting growth. Outside of her practice, Anastasia finds renewal in time in nature, in her garden, with friends and loved ones, and engaging in small daily practices that help her stay present and well-resourced.
