This Mother’s Day retreat is being held and guided by Susan and Jessica two Reiki Master Teachers who share a deep passion for healing, intuition, and creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves.

Susan is the founder of Bare Roots and a naturally gifted intuitive who has felt a calling to help others for as long as she can remember. Her connection with Spirit and ability to tap into the wisdom of the higher self allows her to bring forward messages and healing that support each person’s highest good. Through Reiki and intuitive guidance, she offers a space where people can slow down, soften, and rediscover a deeper connection to themselves and to the energy that flows through all things.

Jessica brings a calm, open-hearted presence that immediately helps people feel safe and supported. Her journey with Reiki began after the birth of her daughter, a time that awakened a deeper calling to support healing in others. As a Reiki Master Teacher and spiritual medium, she works with gentle intuition and grounded sensitivity, holding space in a way that allows others to reconnect with themselves and realign with what truly matters.

Together, Susan and Jessica create a nurturing and heart-centered environment where healing can unfold naturally. Their intention for this retreat is simple but meaningful. To offer mothers a moment to pause, receive, and reconnect with their own energy, wisdom, and inner peace.

What to expect

This special Mother’s Day retreat is created to honour mothers and the season of spring, a time of growth, renewal, and new energy. You will be invited into a nurturing space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and simply receive. The morning begins with special guest Leslie Switzer guiding a joyful movement session, Dancing for Joy, an uplifting way to open the body and awaken your energy. Sue will then lead a grounding meditation accompanied by the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls, offering a moment of deep relaxation and inner stillness. After time to settle and connect, we will share a nourishing lunch together, followed by Jess offering an intuitive group reading, bringing forward messages of guidance, support, and inspiration from the other side. This retreat is meant to be a soft pause in the busyness of life, a chance for mothers to refill their own cup, connect with others, and step into the fresh energy that spring brings.
