From Passion to Purpose
Kleansed Esthetics began during one of the most uncertain times of my life, the pandemic in 2020, my senior year at the University of South Carolina Upstate. Like many others, I felt unsure about the future. Teaching no longer felt stable, resources were limited, and quarantine made it hard to see my family. Out of that stillness, I found a new sense of purpose. I began researching ingredients, experimenting with formulas, and creating skincare products by hand. What started as a small project to make ends meet slowly became something more, a way to heal, to care for myself, and to connect with others through self-care.
After my first soft launch in 2020, I struggled with doubt. Everyone seemed to be starting a business, and comparison made me pause. I stepped back to focus on my education, earning my Master’s degree and becoming a Licensed Esthetician, while continuing to grow mentally, emotionally, and personally. Motherhood brought another transformation. Seeing my body change reminded me how important it is to love, nourish, and care for ourselves through every season of life.
Today, Kleansed Esthetics stands as more than a brand, it’s a reflection of growth, resilience, and empowerment. My mission is to help every woman recognize that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential. As a mother, student, and businesswoman, I’ve learned that every new scent, every new butter, and every product I create is an opportunity for you to feel clean skin, clear confidence, and genuine self-love.
