ProTalent — Where Confidence Takes the Stage. Where Every Voice Matters.

Who We Are — The Story Behind ProTalent

ProTalent was born from the vision of Anastasia Palshina — a mother, lifelong learner, and artist at heart.

Though a registered dietitian by profession, Anastasia’s roots run deep in both the creative arts and care for people. Raised in a family where her mother was a choreographer and her grandmother a nurse, she grew up on stage — immersed in performance, creativity, and a legacy of nurturing others.

From the age of six, Anastasia dedicated over a decade to formal music studies, combining rigorous vocal and piano training with countless stage experiences. Yet, it wasn’t just about mastering music. For her, it was always about how the arts could transform a person — unlocking confidence, self-expression, and inner strength.

As a mother of two, Anastasia dreamed of creating a space where children and adults could experience that same transformation.

Not just learning to sing, but learning to speak up, believe in themselves, and grow into confident, expressive individuals.

With the encouragement of a friend who shared her passion for music and personal growth — and with the help of Sarah, a third-generation music teacher — ProTalent came to life.

What began as Anastasia’s personal vision became a vibrant studio built on care, creativity, and structured growth. A community where every voice matters, and every person has the chance to grow in confidence, clarity, and leadership.

Today, ProTalent is more than a music school.

It’s a place where children, teens, and adults learn to find — and own — their voice, both on stage and in life.

Because when you find your voice, you find yourself.
