As the founder, CEO and educator of GST Body, Anna has spoken about holistic body care through fascia around the world, partnered with top athletes, surgeons, physicians and celebrities, and been featured in various publications, from Shape to Elle, Net-a-Porter to The Wall Street Journal. In her 20s, Anna suffered from chronic pain throughout her body that manifested as tension and IBS-like symptoms. Even as a dancer with a range of motion better than most, she still suffered from tightness and pain, with no clear answer as to why or how it could be solved. Anna spent thousands of hours searching every discipline from East to West to find a fix. Every professional she approached said the same thing – “it’s too complicated.” She left their offices with nothing until finally, she took healing into her own hands – literally. Anna followed the connections to and from the pain in her body, and through this process discovered fascia, the “secret organ” that, when damaged, causes many of the body’s complications and complaints we suffer from. She mapped her entire body, and it was then that the sun finally rose on the dark night of pain she’d been in for so long.
