Meet Daja
A heart-led healer creating sacred space in Costa Rica
From Wounded to Whole: Daja’s Journey
Blessings and welcome. I’m Daja, the founder of Find Serenity and a guide for those seeking deep healing, spiritual connection, and a return to joy.
My path to healing began from within. I’ve lived through seasons of darkness, depression, self-harm, and disconnection from my own worth.
But through ancestral connection, creative expression, and divine guidance, I rose. What I discovered is this: serenity was never outside of me. It lived within me all along.
I created Find Serenity as an offering, not just from my healing but through it. This sacred space is here to support your transformation, to help you reconnect with your inner child, shed old patterns, and remember the unconditional love that has always been yours.
I am not a guru. I am a companion. I am here to walk beside you as you find your way home to yourself.
Rooted in Costa Rica, Guided by Community
In 2017, I moved to Costa Rica to teach English—and something in me shifted forever. The warmth of the people, the rhythm of the land, and the richness of the culture awakened a deep knowing in me: I was home.
Since then, I’ve worked as a tour guide, hotel receptionist, and community connector, building soulful relationships with locals and fellow immigrants. This rooted presence allows me to guide retreats with care, confidence, and integrity.
My work is never done in isolation. Each retreat supports not just your healing journey, but also the vibrant Costa Rican community that has welcomed me so fully. Healers, artisans, farmers, and friends—locals and immigrants alike—are woven into the Find Serenity experience with love and intention.
Find Serenity at Finca Serenidad
In 2022, thanks to the Power of 400 fundraiser, I became the steward of sacred land just outside Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula.
That land is now Finca Serenidad—a growing off-grid retreat center dedicated to healing, sustainability, and community.
Here, I live full-time in harmony with nature, growing food, hosting retreats, and welcoming guests and volunteers from around the world.
We’ve built solar-powered systems, harvested rainwater, and constructed our first simple cabin, proof of what love, vision, and collective effort can create.
Finca Serenidad is more than a place, it’s a movement. It’s one of the few healing spaces in Costa Rica created and led by a Black woman, centering the experiences and well-being of people of color. It is a place where you are safe, seen, and sovereign.
My Offerings to You
Whether you are called to a private retreat, a one-on-one Inner Child Healing session, or simply a moment of peace, my intention is to serve your journey with presence, love, and joy.
Retreats at Finca Serenidad are intimate and sacred—rooted in nature, joy, and self-discovery. You’ll be guided through a combination of energy work, intuitive bodywork, meditation, sound healing, and play.
Inner Child Healing sessions are tailored to your story, combining spiritual tools like astrology and tarot with grounding practices like journaling, breathwork, and meditation. These sessions are open to individuals of all ages, and I also offer joint sessions for parents and children, couples, or chosen family members.
At the heart of every offering is a simple truth: when we heal ourselves, we ripple healing into the world around us.
A Vision for the Future
Find Serenity is a legacy in the making. It honors my ancestors and builds a future for my children and theirs. It is a prayer in action, for a world where healing is accessible, where people of color are centered in wellness spaces, and where joy is seen as sacred.
My hope is that Find Serenity becomes a sanctuary for all who are ready to remember who they truly are.
From my heart to yours,
I hope you find serenity too.
