About Astasia

Shaped by
the Mountain.

Hey — I'm Astasia. A lifelong outdoor lover, snowmobiler, and the founder of Ascent Recovery and Performance. If we're being honest... snowmobiling has my whole heart. I've been riding since I was 7 years old with my dad, and that world shaped everything about who I am.

In 2012, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease — a chronic autoimmune condition that attacked my gut, my energy, and nearly my ability to do the sport that gave me purpose. The flares were brutal. The fatigue was relentless. And the guidance from my specialists on how to actually live while managing it? Almost nonexistent.

Working in healthcare myself, I knew enough to ask the right questions — but I was still left to figure out most of it on my own. What I discovered changed everything: the only way I was going to keep riding, lifting, and pushing myself the way I always had was to go all in on recovery. Not as a luxury. As a non-negotiable.

Exercise, nutrition, stress management, sleep, and hands-on bodywork became the foundation I built my life back on. That foundation is what Ascent is built on. I left western medicine to pursue a career in bodywork because I wanted to be the resource I never had — for athletes, for people with chronic conditions, for anyone who refuses to let their body become a reason they stop doing what they love.

We are all carrying something that makes the hard days harder. The mental strength it takes to keep showing up, keep moving forward, keep climbing — that is what builds us. Ascent exists to support that climb, with real tools, real education, and real results.

The view at the top is always worth the work. Let's keep you moving up.

From Athletes
Who Stayed in the Game

Our travels have been good, we got in last night, and the hamstring is doing great. The massage was super helpful, and the therapies Coach Deshawn has been doing with me are amazing.

Traveling Athlete

My back has felt so much better. Definitely need to keep up on that!

Recurring Client

Just want you to know — that was the first night's sleep I've had all night with no pain. Thank you, you're a lifesaver.

Active Adult Client

I've been seeing Astasia for some time now, and I can confidently say she's one of the most skilled, dedicated, and genuinely caring massage therapists I've ever worked with. As someone who's dealt with multiple surgeries with hardware and injuries — everything from chronic back and shoulder issues to sports-related strains and overuse problems — she's been instrumental in helping me recover, manage pain, and stay active. Her knowledge of anatomy, injury rehabilitation, and therapeutic techniques is impressive. She always takes the time to listen carefully, assess problem areas thoroughly, and tailor each session precisely to my needs. Astasia is a true partner in keeping you strong and moving forward. Highly recommend her.

Long-Term Client

I want to give you a quick update from yesterday's session. I woke up at my usual 4am, and this time I had tears in my eyes — because for the first time in I don't know how long, I didn't hurt. I could move out of bed like a normal person again. My hips didn't hurt, my neck is still sore-ish but nothing like it was. I slept like real sleep. I can stand up out of a chair and not like an old man. I cannot thank you enough. There's certainly more work to be done, but this is incredible.
