Conversations with Anastasia Gerasimova

Today we’d like to introduce you to Anastasia Gerasimova

Hi Anastasia, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My journey into clinical herbalism began when I frequently experienced severe menstrual pain and stumbled upon the idea that herbs could help. I made my first blend and was amazed by its effectiveness. After completing a 9-month clinical herbalism course, I started sharing my experience on Instagram, which received a tremendous response and greatly motivated me.

I was then invited to host tea ceremonies at different parties and events, where I prepared herbal blends and explained their properties. This helped me attract my first clients, who were thrilled by how delicious, beautiful, and beneficial the herbal teas were.

Currently, I continue to run my Instagram blog, where I share vegetarian recipes featuring herbs, interesting facts, and offer personal consultations with two months of follow-up support. I also participate in events and collaborate with spa salons and yoga studios. Additionally, I have an online shop on my website and Etsy.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It feels like I still face a sea of obstacles:) The hardest part has been managing everything for my business while working a regular job and taking care of my 2 yo child. Perhaps this is also my unique aspect: everything is intertwined with my life, and I don’t have to invent anything—herbs are all around me. The toughest challenge is finding time for everything I want to do, from creating content and writing texts to packing and mixing teas, interacting with clients, and handling marketing. But I believe that soon I’ll have the opportunity to get some help.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As a clinical herbalist, I specialize in creating bespoke herbal blends tailored to individual needs. My blends are carefully crafted according to the principles of clinical herbalism, ensuring that the herbs complement each other rather than conflict—like harmoniously blending energizing herbs with calming ones. My primary blends address various needs, such as improving sleep, supporting digestion, catering to pregnant and postpartum women, enhancing focus, and detoxification.

What sets me apart is my personalized approach. I conduct private consultations to understand each client’s lifestyle, diet, and preferences. This allows me to create highly targeted blends with precise dosages, offering faster and more effective results. This customized service is more expensive, but it ensures a greater impact. I also pay close attention to clients’ tastes, incorporating herbs they enjoy and avoiding those they dislike, which guarantees satisfaction.

I also love participating in wellness events, where I can showcase unique herbal beverages, such as spiced herbal mulled wine or sparkling herbal cocktails. These creations often spark interest and enthusiasm, encouraging people to explore herbal remedies in their own lives. For me, it’s crucial that the experience is not only beneficial and flavorful but also visually appealing.

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
The most important quality for my success is my deep understanding of both the art and science of herbalism combined with my personalized approach to client care. My ability to tailor herbal blends to individual needs, based on detailed consultations, ensures that each blend is effective and well-suited to the client’s lifestyle and preferences. This attention to detail, coupled with a passion for creating aesthetically pleasing and functional herbal products, sets me apart and drives my success.
