In a city that has turned wellness into an industry, the most coveted thing is not a supplement or a sound bath. It is peace that lasts. That is exactly what Steanie, the founder known to her community as I Am Steanie, has built her brand around.
Her company, EnlightMeCenter (https://enlightmecenter.com), is an all-faith personal transformation and spiritual wellness house. It offers remote energy healing, guided Transformation Journeys (https://enlightmecenter.com/pages/transformation-journeys), books and a conscious apparel line.
Born in Massachusetts and raised in Haiti, she was writing poems in French by the age of eight. She went on to study finance at Northeastern University, serve in the U.S. Air Force and build a career in information security. Then, as SteanieNaaji, she grew a fashion and lifestyle following of more than 52,000 and was named one of Disruptors Magazine’s Top 10 Women Disruptors of 2022.
The turning point came quietly. Behind every polished image, she kept seeing the same thing: accomplished people running on empty. She knew the feeling. “I stopped asking, ‘How do I look?'” she says, “and started asking, ‘How do I feel?'”
That question became a business. Today Steanie is a certified Spiritual Guide, International Metaphysical Minister and Level 3 Reiki Healer, and her approach carries the discipline of her military years. “Integrity is not a necessity,” she says. “It’s a requirement.”
What sets EnlightMeCenter apart is its refusal to sell perfection. It speaks to people living in survival mode, a state backed by hard numbers: Gallup’s 2026 workplace report found that 40% of employees worldwide felt a lot of stress the previous day. EnlightMeCenter gathers that research on its Emotional Exhaustion and Burnout Statistics 2026 page (https://enlightmecenter.com/pages/emotional-exhaustion-statistics).
And then there is the island. Steanie calls herself a Caribbean Islander who craves the sea, the sun and freedom. “Every person deserves their own sea and sun,” she says, “a place to breathe, feel free and come home to themselves.”
Her next chapter is already in view. “My dream and goal is to turn EnlightMeCenter into an integrated wellness brand,” she says, “by implementing Traditional Chinese Medicine.” It is a natural step for a founder who treats body, emotions and spirit as one system.
In Los Angeles terms, peace that lasts may be the ultimate luxury. Her full journey is told in her own words in From Steanie Naaji to I Am Steanie(https://enlightmecenter.com/blogs/news/from-steanie-naaji-to-i-am-steanie).
