Where Healing Meets Empowerment
In a small boutique spa on the tip of the desert in Merritt, BC, Desert Divas and Dons Medical Spa is not just transforming skin but also transforming lives. Founded by Anastaszia Cash, a seasoned corneotherapist, remedial skin specialist, and medical aesthetician with over 34 years of experience, the spa is a testament to resilience, passion, and a deep desire to help others reclaim their confidence and well-being.
Anastaszia’s journey into the world of medical aesthetics wasn’t an ordinary one. A survivor of domestic violence, she turned her pain into a passion that has now helped countless clients regain not only their beauty but also their sense of empowerment.
“I started this journey out of my own need for healing,” says Anastaszia. “After struggling with physical scars from domestic violence, insecurities, and facing two severe car accidents that left me with permanent injuries, including a brain injury, I decided to take control of my life. I turned my pain into passion—and now I help others do the same.”
A Spa Built on Experience and Empathy
Anastaszia’s approach to aesthetics is more than skin-deep. She offers treatments that go beyond cosmetic concerns and focus on real healing. Whether it’s helping people remove scars, stretch marks, or lesions, assisting teens with acne, or offering hair restoration for both men and women, her clients come to her for both physical treatments and emotional healing from all over B.C., Canada.
“My spa is a space for people to heal, not just look good,” she explains. “What I do isn’t just about skin care. It’s about helping clients feel empowered, restoring their confidence, and showing them that they are worthy of love and self-care.”
At Desert Divas and Dons, the treatments are deeply personal. Every procedure is tailored to the individual’s needs, making clients feel seen, heard, and cared for. Anastaszia takes a hands-on approach, providing a level of care and privacy that larger clinics often lack.
Pain Management and Cutting-Edge Technology
In addition to her expertise in skin care, Anastaszia is breaking new ground in pain management. After her own struggles with chronic pain from car accidents, she integrated advanced technologies into her spa that help others manage their pain. Her clients can now access cutting-edge treatments like the Ballancer Pro Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit and the TriWave MD by Dermalux, a world-leading LED technology that’s new to Canada and is the strongest LED on the globe.
“We’re seeing real results with pain relief,” says Anastaszia. “People who have lived with chronic pain for years are finding comfort and healing in these treatments. It’s truly transformative.”
The combination of high-tech equipment and her empathetic care has created a space where clients can not only improve their appearance but also experience relief from long-standing pain, offering a holistic approach to wellness.
Beyond Beauty: A Spa with a Purpose
Anastaszia’s story of reinvention and resilience makes Desert Divas and Dons unique in a world of generic medical spas. Clients come from abroad for the treatments, but they stay for the empowering experience.
“The core of what I do is about helping people feel better, not just look better,” she says. “It’s about changing the way they see themselves and empowering them to take charge of their health, appearance, and life.”
She’s known for her world-class technology and expertise in Corneotherapy, being the only registered Corneotherapist in Canada out of the International Association for Applied Corneotherapy (IAC), based in Germany. This rare and specific education is not widely known among skin experts in Canada, making it a niche service that draws people from afar to seek her expertise. Anastaszia is a Corneotherapist registered with the IAC. As a member of the IAC, Anastaszia offers treatments backed by specialized education that very few in Canada can provide.
It’s her personal touch and genuine care for her clients that keeps them coming back. With a 5-star rating and an A+ Better Business Bureau accreditation, Desert Divas and Dons has earned the trust of people across BC and beyond.
“I want my spa to be a place where people can come to heal emotionally and physically. A place where they don’t just feel like a client, but like part of a community,” says Anastaszia.
A Legacy of Empowerment
As a mother, grandmother, and veteran in the industry, Anastaszia’s journey is an inspiration. From coast to coast—from California to BC—she’s worked tirelessly to make Desert Divas and Dons Medical Spa a place where people don’t just get beauty and pain treatments; they get a second chance at feeling good about themselves.
“I’ve always believed that beauty is more than skin-deep,” Anastaszia says. “It’s about feeling strong, confident, and in control of your own destiny. That’s what I want to help others achieve.”
