About Melissa A. Frazier “(Ma-Ti, The Healing Author, Mama Tired)”

Melissa A. Frazier is a multi-genre author and creator who writes under three names that reflect different parts of her journey.

  • As Ma-Ti, she creates children’s books inspired by her grandchildren, the original Snak Pak Kids — a name born 13 years ago when she combined “Ma” (mama) with “Ti” (Tina, her nickname).
  • As The Healing Author, she shares memoirs, poetry, and self-help rooted in her lived experiences of love, loss, and resilience.
  • Through Mama Tired, she builds a brand for mothers everywhere, born from a family phrase she used with her children: “Not right now, maybe later, or simply no mama tired.” It now represents every mom who keeps trying, even when exhausted.

Across every name and project, Melissa’s purpose is the same: to tell stories that carry love, truth, and legacy forward for children, families, and anyone walking a healing journey.
