Today we’d like to introduce you to Anastasia Sanchez
Hi Anastasia, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My physical recovery and mobility services started with a passion for wellness at a young age. I grew up with a lot of people in my life suffering from illnesses, tension in their bodies, and challenges living fulfilling lives due to these limitations, I wanted to not only prevent that for myself – but also the community. I went to school for kinesiology and recreational therapy. I am a part time therapist and I try to promote fitness in the lives of mental health teens or people with disabilities. However, I always loved doing body work. I started my services doing stretch therapy, cupping, and sports massage to allow people to live functional and healthy lives. I give them specialized programs & work through breathing techniques with them to help them find more ease in their body. I’ve learned so much about healing the nervous system as well as the body through this work. It encourages me to constantly keep up with researching new therapeutic body work methods. I wouldn’t change this passion.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has not. My first 7 months of the business were challenging, having consistent clients. I started my business not knowing what I was doing, how to promote it & showcase my skills to the world. I was showing up to pickleball courts in the heat of the summer. I took a digital marketing course online & learned how to promote myself. Now I have a website and enough clients who trust my services that promote me to others. It is still a slow road but we are getting there! My biggest challenge has been finding new clients – even though most people need these services. Having faith in myself has been the journey I’ve been on,
As you know, we’re big fans of Mindful In Motion, LLC. . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I have a mobile bodywork business. I focus on relieving mobility restrictions, muscle knots, pent up physical adhesions from stress that cause pain. I come to the home, event spaces, or offices of my clients. I love exposing people to accessible options so all of my services are cheaper than competitors pricing – because mobility should not be a luxury! I specialize in stretch therapy and sports massage. My goal is to get out the stubborn knots that live in our bodies and limit our physical and mental progress. I take my heart and knowledge as a previous therapist and incorporate it into my programming, I take my rapport with my clients very seriously and believe that it adds both physical and mental relief to my services.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
I was very introverted in younger years. I struggled with mental health my whole life – even now. I loved books and writing, I branched out of my shell in middle school and began rebelling, I was engaging with all kinds of substances, missing school, getting in fights, etc. I got in trouble with the law and couldn’t miss school with the threat of going to juvenile detention. I turned to sports and dance as a way of turning a new leaf. My entire life flipped around. I was getting straight A’s, was a varsity athlete, and had a whole new group of friends. I managed to get into college and knew that I was determined to work in the sports medicine and recovery space
