Liječnica je specijalista anesteziolog, zaposlena u KBC Zagreb zadnjih desetak godina gdje je fokusirana na regionalnu anesteziju i liječenje boli. Prije četiri godine započinje se baviti akupunkturom te završava jednogodišnje školovanje akupunkture za liječnike pri Hrvatskom društvu za akupunkturu Hrvatskog liječničkog zbora te stječe diplomu licenciranog akupunkturologa. Nakon toga se kontinuirano bavi akupunkturom i tretira razna stanja i poremećaje.

Specifično područje njenog interesa je tretiranje poremećaja plodnosti, suportivna metoda potpomognute oplodnje, održavanje trudnoće nakon potpomognute oplodnje te rješavanje određenih problema tijekom trudnoće (suzbijanje mučnine i povraćanja, sprečavanje krvarenja, okretanje čeda iz položaju na zadak, priprema za porod...).

U sklopu Zivia studia radi s trudnicama i parovima koji prolaze proces potpomognute oplodnje.

Nastasja se profesionalno bavi kuhanjem, nakon što je na trećoj godini Učiteljskog fakulteta shvatila da je kuhanje njen pravi poziv.

Nakon televizijskog showa Masterchef te snimljene kuharske emisije za slastice "Slatki Božić", svoju karijeru je započela kao sous chef u hvarskom restoranu diVino gdje je provela tri godine.

Uz završenu kuharsku školu, iskustvo je stjecala u zagrebačkom restoranu Prasac, te višestruko nagrađivanom restoranu Bistro Apetit. Sudjelovala je u izradi kuharice poznatog chefa C. Cabaliera koja je 2015. proglašena najboljom profesionalnom kuharicom u Hrvatskoj prema prestižnom Gourmand World Cookbook Awards izboru. Održavala je i dječje kuharske radionice za koje je također izrađena mini kuharica Male škole kuhanja, te i sama svoje iskustvo širi kroz razne tečajeve kuhanja.

Posebnu pažnju je posvetila zdravoj prehrani tokom obje trudnoće, pa trenutno najviše testira i proučava kako koja namirnica djeluje na drugo stanje, te koje su najbolje zamjene i prilagodbe kroz prehranu u trudnoći.
