American born, lived in France and then England since 1990. Now a U.K. citizen.
Anastasia first visited St Lucia in 1994. She returned many times - enchanted by the island - and purchased the land at Cosmos in 1996. She nurtured her dream to develop the property over the next 15 years, finally breaking ground in 2012. The Villa welcomed its first guests in 2016.
With a career in natural botanical products, Anastasia now focuses on running Cosmos, teaching yoga and designing gardens. She lives most of the year in the English countryside, growing vegetables and cooking like a fiend - escaping to sunny St Lucia when the days get short in England.
