My name is Katarzyna Wisniewska, though most people know me as Kasia. I grew up in a small town in Poland as one of eight siblings, including two sets of twins. Being raised in a large family shaped my resilience, adaptability, and strong sense of collaboration, values that continue to influence both my personal life and professional journey.

At the age of thirteen, my family relocated to the United Kingdom. Experiencing a new culture and language at a young age encouraged independence, determination, and a strong work ethic. This period of adjustment helped shape my confidence and ability to thrive in unfamiliar environments, skills that later proved essential in my career.

From an early age, I was drawn to the concept of self-care as a form of empowerment rather than indulgence. Beauty, to me, has always represented balance, confidence, and well-being. After completing my education, I pursued this passion professionally, earning qualifications in beauty therapy, salon management, aesthetics, and business management. These foundations provided both technical expertise and a strategic understanding of the industry.

A defining chapter of my career began when I joined the luxury cruise ship Majestic Princess as a beauty and detox specialist. Working in a high-performance, international environment required discipline, adaptability, and consistent excellence. Long hours and demanding targets refined my professionalism and strengthened my ability to deliver exceptional client experiences.

My dedication and results led to being recognized as the top detox specialist across the entire fleet, an achievement that resulted in personal recognition from senior leadership at Princess Cruise Lines. I was subsequently invited to attend management training in Miami, reflecting the company’s confidence in my potential and performance. I was also offered the opportunity to continue my career aboard their newest ship, The Sun Princess, marking an important milestone in my professional journey.

Despite this success, I felt a growing desire to build something more personal and purpose-driven. I wanted to apply everything I had learned professionally and personally toward creating a brand that extended beyond traditional beauty and focused on holistic wellbeing, mindfulness, and empowerment.

Together with my longtime friend and designer, Anni, I founded Luna Selene. Our vision, first conceived over five years ago, was to create a holistic wellness brand that encourages people to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and embrace intentional self-care. From ethically sourced ingredients to refined, thoughtful packaging, every element of Luna Selene reflects our commitment to quality, integrity, and meaning.

Building Luna Selene has been a journey defined by dedication, creativity, and resilience. Each challenge has strengthened our resolve to create products that nourish not only the skin but also the mind and spirit. Today, seeing Luna Selene become part of someone’s daily ritual is both humbling and deeply rewarding.

Through Luna Selene, my mission is to share a philosophy of self-care rooted in intention, authenticity, and balance helping people find beauty not only in how they look, but in how they care for themselves.
