Hello, I’m Anastasia, and I’m so glad you’re here. My journey began in the wild, untamed landscapes of Siberia, Russia, where nature wasn’t just a backdrop - it was a way of life. My parents and I spent summers camping, hiking, foraging for berries and mushrooms, embracing the bounty that the earth provided. My mother often turned to natural remedies when we were sick, showing me the simple yet powerful ways plants can support our health. We supplemented our meals with fresh, homegrown fruits, vegetables, and berries from our garden, often preserving the harvest through pickling, savoring the pure, vibrant flavors.

This deep-rooted connection to nature never left me, even as I ventured out into the world. I’ve traveled and lived in many cities, but no matter where I was, I always felt the call of the earth, growing stronger with each passing year. When I moved to Washington State, surrounded by its awe-inspiring mountains, serene rivers, and dense evergreen forests, I knew I had found my true home. Here, amidst this natural beauty, I felt a profound urge to reconnect with my roots—and to help others do the same.

I am a licensed Registered Nurse and a graduate of a scientific herbalism program. While I deeply respect the traditions of herbal medicine, it’s crucial to me that the information I share is grounded in science. In today’s world, where so much is uncertain, I believe that facts are a guiding light. But I also believe in the power of something greater—the connection we have with the earth and with ourselves, a connection that so many of us have lost but are yearning to rediscover.

Mishka Herbs was born out of this belief. It’s more than just a business; it’s a way to translate that lost connection into something tangible, something healing. Through my herbal teas, I hope to bring you closer to nature, to rekindle that bond with the earth, and to offer you a moment of peace in your busy life. Each blend is crafted with care, using only the finest herbs, rooted in science and tradition, to nourish not just your body but your soul.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can find our way back to our roots, back to the simple, natural wisdom that has always been within us.

Warmly,
Anastasia
