About Me

Hey there! I am Anastasia Godin and I am so glad you are here.  

I will be honest. On the list of things I never thought I would do, starting a business was first on that list (that and starting a YouTube channel) and here we are. In 2023, Heartseed Holistic was born! It comes to you from years of trying to understand my purpose on this Earth, completing hundreds of hours of Yoga trainings, being filled with encouragement from my loving husband and amazing mother, and of course the transformational birth of my son.  

Throughout the past 12 years, I have transformed my life with the healing tools I offer today. As my soul sister so kindly (and with a bit of humor) put it - I was a raging fire with no clear direction and now the fire inside of me has been contained and channeled into this work. Twelve years ago I was a fitness junkie, a hard-core athlete that was so uncomfortable in my own body that I either had to move with hard and fast workouts and lifestyle habits or else I would fall into the depths of despair with anxiety attacks and debilitating depression. I felt trapped in so many patterns, relationships, and toxic secrets. I didn't know how to get out.

I signed up for my first yoga training in 2015 and I could finally see the light out of the darkness.

In the beginning it felt like I was on a quest, but I never knew where I was going or why I kept coming back. But, I kept the faith, listened to the small voices (even when I was questioning them) and now I am here.  

So, who am I today?

I am a wife, a mother, a daughter. I am a student. I am a teacher. I am surprising myself daily with how I grow and build this business. I am moving out of my comfort zone to share myself and what I have learned. My methods are unique because they are crafted for the individual or community I am serving. I have calmed my competitive nature, leaving behind racing at the USA Triathlon National  Championships, and now focus on building strength in a more manageable way.  My yoga classes for example will blend this important aspect of strength with ample time to stretch, release tension, and ground the body. I believe these practices are precious. I believe that your time is precious. I believe that YOU are precious! If this resonates with you, please join me in this journey.

I created Heartseed Holistic with the intention of honoring traditional forms of wellness and to offer practices through yoga, Reiki, and Ayurveda that facilitate healing and peace. Everything starts by planting a seed. My only hope is to share it all with you!
