MomChild Reunion™
A warm and sacred space for mothers who carry love beyond the veil, where feelings of grief, connection, and spirit come together with support, understanding, and heartfelt compassion.
You Don't Need to be Healed
You Don't Need to be Strong
Spirit Brings the Opportunity for Healing...
You Only Need to Say YES
I loved this retreat. I learned so much from the organizers and from other moms. My goal of making lasting connections with moms who could understand me and who I could understand was achieved 100%. ---- Andrea
I was so fortunate to attend the Mom/Child Reunion in 2023. Paige is genuine, authentic and so caring. There are no words for the comfort, healing and connection I felt while at this retreat. ---- Janie

About This Retreat
A Boutique Healing Experience for Mothers
For seven years, MomChild Reunion™ has provided a sacred space for mothers whose children have transitioned to Spirit. Inspired by the spiritual journeys of Sally and Steve Baldwin and the original MomChild retreats, this event is a special opportunity to connect with like-minded souls and explore the unbreakable bond between parents and children.
MomChild is a place where your love is understood, your grief is honored, and your connection is welcomed – not questioned or minimized. This is not about “moving on.” It is about remembering how to live with love that never leaves us.

Rooms
We have a total of five private rooms and two semi-private (shared) rooms available. The shared rooms have a queen bed and a bunk bed, but we do not sell the upper bunk unless a group of friends who want to room together request it.
Many mothers arrive unsure of what they need — only knowing that something inside is calling.
What they often leave with is:
A softened relationship with grief
A felt sense of connection rather than absence
Permission to love fully again
Relief in being witnessed without fixing or advice
A deeper trust in their own inner knowing
- A tribe of sisters who become lifelong friends on the journey
This retreat does not take grief away. It changes how you carry it.
This retreat is intentionally limited to nine mothers plus your hosts to preserve the intimacy and safety of the circle.

Meet the Facilitators
Led by those who have walked this path themselves and dedicated their lives to helping other mothers find healing and connection.
Paige Lee
For over 15 years, Paige Lee has served the grief community. She is a Reiki Master, Author, Intuitive Grief Coach, Spiritual Teacher, HPH Affiliate Co-Leader, and Founder of Transcending Grief. Her life was forever changed by grief and loss when, in 2008, her 23-year-old son Bryan transitioned to Spirit. Bryan did not die in vain. He left behind him a legacy of love and compassion that continues to touch the lives of millions around the world. He works closely with his mom, from his side of the veil.
Nancy Cooper
Nancy Cooper considered teaching her calling until her only child was murdered in 2006, and her extreme grief led her to the metaphysical world for comfort and meaning. Her passion now is helping other bereaved parents on their journey. Nancy and her daughter, Lauren, were blessed to be a part of the 2010 MomChild Reunion with Paige and Bryan. Together with the other moms from that year's retreat, they are known as 'The Sun Valley Moms".
Kathy MacMannis
Kathy MacMannis is a proud mother of 3 beautiful boys, Conor, Jack and Aiden. She is a Shining Light mom of two. Conor and Aiden passed within 8 months of each other in 2013, forever changing her life. Kathy embraced the awakening of her mediumship, remembering how to connect beyond the physical world. Through countless signs, experiences and quiet knowing, Conor and Aiden have shown her that they are still very present in her life. She knows that their relationship did not end it continues, deepens and grows. Together, they have shared with her that there is important work to be done. It is now her soul’s purpose to help others understand that God’s most beautiful gift is love and the deep connection that flows from it. The love we share is ever present, enduring, and continues beyond this life.
Sarah Nisse
Sarah is a Spiritual Teacher and Channel. She grew up as a gifted child and had a "knowing" as to what was going on with the people around her. She would often see spirits walking through her room at night. During her college years, her intuitive, empathic, and mediumistic abilities became so intense that she chose to change her major and her life path. She then started studying with many Shamanic and Healing masters. This course of study led her to her true calling: helping others discover their immense power and divine gifts.
