  Darci graduated with her BA from the University of Michigan-Flint and has been helping others from a young age, volunteering at nursing homes, soup kitchens, and clothing closets in her hometown of Clio.

Family is everything to Darci. She treasures being a mom to her daughter and son, considering them her greatest joy. Darci is blessed with amazing friends and family, a support system she cherishes deeply.

Her extensive experience with non-profits, including the American Cancer Society and Whaley Children's Center, drew her to Serenity House. Witnessing the tangible help provided daily, from rides to peer recovery counseling, inspired her to join our team.

During her 11-year recovery journey, Christina Borden sought healing deep in the mountains, where she immersed herself in Indigenous and Pagan traditions. Her path led her through transformative practices such as fire ceremonies, polar plunges, sweat lodges, moon circles, solo darkness retreats, and various forms of breathwork, yoga, meditation, and journaling. She is trained in Reiki Usui, and her healing journey also includes inner child work, shadow work, and sound baths.

Through these experiences, Christina not only learned to stand strong on her own but also discovered profound beauty in life. In 2021, she extended her healing to others in the most selfless way—by donating one of her kidneys to save another person’s life.

When Christina isn’t on the road, she can often be found solo hiking with her cat, rustic camping, kayaking, traveling, chasing waterfalls, powerlifting, or creating art.
