bio

Hey y’all! I’m Tima—nursing student, single mama of two, and the founder of Island Mama Getaways. I curated this Costa Rica wellness trip because I know firsthand how easy it is to pour into everybody else and forget about yourself. This journey is all about slowing down, healing, and reconnecting with you—mind, body, and spirit.

One of the wildest things I’ve done while traveling? I hopped a last-minute flight to the Caribbean solo, just chasing peace—and ended up dancing under the stars with strangers who became family.

I love anything that brings me back to myself: beach walks, nature hikes, soulful conversations, journaling by the ocean, and a good spa day. I also lean into spiritual practices like meditation, energy cleansing, and setting intentions under the moon. If you’re craving sisterhood, healing, and a soft life moment in the jungle, come vibe with me.

Affirmation: “I am worthy of rest, joy, and divine connection. Everything I need is already within me.”
