Transforming Lives, One Treatment at a Time
Located in the heart of Merritt, BC, Desert Divas and Dons Medical Spa is the perfect blend of luxury, innovation, and personal care. Founded by Anastaszia Cash, a passionate corneotherapist, medical aesthetician, and laser technician with 34 years of experience, this private, appointment-only home boutique medi spa has become a beacon of healing, beauty, and transformation.
Anastaszia is a proud member of the International Association for Applied Corneotherapy (IAC). Corneotherapy is a niche field that demands specialized knowledge of the skin, focusing on repairing and maintaining the skin's barrier defense systems rather than simply applying moisturizers. This approach addresses the underlying causes of skin issues, ensuring long-lasting results rather than just alleviating the symptoms.
Known for her expertise in remedial skin issues, Anastaszia has built a reputation for helping people from across British Columbia with the most advanced world-leading technologies. Her journey, however, is far from conventional. Once a survivor of domestic violence, Anastaszia turned her personal pain into passion, helping others regain their confidence and well-being both inside and out.
From Pain to Passion: A Journey of Triumph
Anastaszia’s path to becoming a leader in the medical aesthetics industry wasn’t easy. After surviving domestic violence and suffering from scars, she sought medical treatment to remove them, ultimately discovering her calling. Over the years, her dedication to transforming skin and lives led to the creation of Desert Divas and Dons Medical Spa.
Her philosophy is clear: "Pain into passion, tears into triumph." Having faced her own challenges, including brain injuries and chronic pain from two tragic car accidents, Anastaszia now uses her spa to help others turn their pain into empowerment.
“The windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror for a reason,” she reflects. “I want people to focus on the road ahead, not the scars of the past. That’s why I help others heal and transform just as I did.”
Cutting-Edge Technology for Real Results
One of the things that sets Desert Divas and Dons Medical Spa apart is the use of the most advanced technology worldwide. Anastaszia offers an array of services designed to target everything from skin imperfections to chronic pain. Some of her innovative treatments include:
Ballancer Pro Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit: A state-of-the-art tool for pain management, equivalent to having seven massage therapists working on you at once, draining your lymphatic system and helping clients relieve years of chronic discomfort.
TriWave MD by Dermalux: The world’s strongest LED technology, which has recently arrived in Canada, with only two currently in the country. This cutting-edge treatment works wonders on skin rejuvenation, pain relief, and inflammation.
“I’m proud to offer the latest technology available,” Anastaszia says. “I want to bring the best to my clients. When I see people who have had pain for years finally experiencing relief, it’s the ultimate triumph. When I am able to help others with their insecurities, it is my ultimate passion.”
More Than Just Skin Care

While Anastaszia’s spa specializes in skin care and treatments for skin issues, it’s also about personal empowerment. From scar and stretch mark removal to hair restoration for men and women, the spa provides treatments that build confidence and help clients look and feel their best. Desert Divas and Dons Medical Spa is also one of the first in British Columbia to offer a truly authentic Korean Head Spa, with a custom-made bed imported from Korea.
With a five-star rating and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, the spa’s reputation for quality care and results has garnered attention from people across the province. Clients trust Anastaszia’s expertise and the safe, private one-on-one environment she has cultivated in her boutique medi spa.
“I want to be known for more than just making people look good. I want to make them feel empowered, whole, and confident in who they are,” Anastaszia shares. “My goal is to help others feel comfortable in their own skin because when we do, we’re unstoppable.”
A Leader in the Industry
Anastaszia’s career spans from coast to coast from LA to BC and her journey has solidified her as a leader in the field. She’s been recognized for her remarkable talent and her ability to create a safe and welcoming space for individuals of all backgrounds. Anastaszia is also a licensed pastoral crisis counselor, which enhances her ability to connect with clients on a deeper level, as she deeply understands the emotional side of healing.
Whether helping a woman restore her self-esteem after a traumatic experience or assisting men and women with hair restoration, Desert Divas and Dons Medical Spa stands as a testament to Anastaszia’s vision, resilience, and expertise.
Why Desert Divas and Dons Is Different
What makes Desert Divas and Dons Medical Spa unique is the personalized care provided in a private, home-based boutique setting nestled in the desert of Merritt, BC only a three-hour drive from Vancouver. Clients receive one-on-one attention, knowing that their treatment is tailored specifically to their needs in the beautiful cowboy town of Merritt.
Unlike larger medical spas that can feel impersonal as you walk out and see other patients in the lobby, Anastaszia’s one-on-one, hands-on approach ensures that every client receives the best of customized personal care, the latest in cutting-edge technology, and the attention they deserve. This combination of quality service, world-class equipment, and genuine compassion has earned her the trust of clients across the province.
