I came to Jamaica to grieve the loss of my husband. Now, I'm turning the home that helped me heal into a wellness retreat.
"When I was 31, my husband died eight weeks after I gave birth to my second child. It felt like lightning had struck... I went on a healing journey."
"My first instinct was to sell the property... I thought about it really long and hard and said, 'Let's try to see how we can open it up on Airbnb.'"
"In December 2025, we opened the property up to the public. As soon as we list..."
Keisha Blair, after the death of her husband and during her healing journey, considered selling her family property in Jamaica. Instead, she decided to convert it into a vacation rental on Airbnb, honoring its significance in her healing process. Following her father's death, she and her new husband restored the property, which opened to the public in December 2025. The retreat serves as a space for others to find healing, reflecting Blair's personal journey and commitment to community support.
