The founder
About Anastasia
What I hold
A body of work for women returning to themselves.
Elementa is a pathway. Begin gently at home, be held in person, stay connected in community, or learn to hold spaces yourself.
My work creates honest spaces that do not require performance or perfection, helping women reconnect with body, creativity, nature and each other.
Photo notes
A little gallery from the world I’m building.
This space can hold a small collection of portraits and behind-the-scenes moments, so people can feel the person behind Elementa before they meet you in a retreat, circle, workshop or online practice.
A note from Anastasia
I grew up between worlds.
Born in Ukraine, raised in Germany and shaped by cultures that did not always make space for nuance, I found safety in achievement before learning to return to body, creativity and community.
Elementa grew from the desire to create spaces where women do not need to hold everything alone, spaces with depth, beauty, honest conversation and enough softness to exhale.
