Kirsten, a proud LA native with strong African roots, is the vibrant force behind Melanated Moments, a new-wave movement for Black love, radical self-care, and mindful healing. Her holistic approach blends ancient wisdom with modern vibes, making healing not just powerful but soulful.
Her journey of service started early—watching her mom care for her bedridden grandmother sparked her passion for giving back. She followed that love into nursing, spending over 10 years working with the elderly in LA’s under-resourced communities, where she became the warm, healing presence they desperately needed.
But healthcare wasn’t the end of her story. Coming from a long line of depression, addiction, and gang violence, Kirsten knew something had to change. In 2016, after hitting rock bottom, she took a deep dive into African spirituality, determined to heal herself and bring these transformative practices to the forefront to help her community heal too. That’s when everything shifted—she unlocked her power, healed from childhood and generational traumas, and discovered her true calling. Fueled by sacred ceremonies, ancestor reverence, meditation, and shadow work, she began living life on her terms—and helping others do the same.
Now, through Melanated Moments, Kirsten is on a mission to help her community heal, grow, and thrive. Whether it's through her luxurious natural bath products, spiritual tools, or transformative workshops, she’s all about helping people tap into their greatness. She sees the magic in everyone—and her goal is to help you see it too, because once you start healing, you're unstoppable!
With Kirsten, it’s not just about healing—it's about empowerment, love, and living your best life.
