Shaina is a world traveler and lifelong spiritual seeker. Prior to moving to Mexico, Shaina worked as a Human Resource professional and corporate trainer for 12 years in the hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing industries. Although she was very successful in her career, she always had this nagging feeling that something was missing from her life. She felt like there had to be more to life, something she could do that would leave her feeling a sense of higher purpose and connection to her authentic self.

In 2018, Shaina woke up one morning with a deep knowing that she had to make a change. On the outside, it looked like she was happy, but on the soul level she was drowning. It was then that she took a chance and followed her heart, not her head, for the first time in her life. She left her unhealthy marriage, quit her professional career, and packed her bags and headed to Mexico with an inner knowing that it would be a place to heal and find herself again.In Cabo, Shaina worked as an event planner which she enjoyed very much, it was a lot of fun and allowed her to meet many people. But her higher self was not content with her lifestyle, and was guiding her do more meaningful work. At that point she felt very lost, depressed, and hopeless; this profound grief was overwhelming and she hit her rock bottom. Determined to find happiness again, she dove headfirst into her wounds and her spirituality. As a result, she had a profound spiritual awakening that changed who she was. She realized that we are not our thoughts or feelings, we are not what happens to us; that life is beautiful and by living in the present moment you can truly embrace life’s abundance.

Pure Baja Suites & Retreats is the manifestation of living in gratitude and following that inner guidance. This new path has allowed her to continue to learn and grow while helping others. Shaina is delighted to meet each and every one of you and hopes to support you on your life journey
