MomChild Reunion
September 16-20, 2026
GARDEN VALLEY, IDAHO
This intimate gathering is for mothers with one or more children in Spirit
About This Retreat
A Boutique Healing Experience for Mothers
Inspired by the spiritual journeys of Sally and Steve Baldwin, this event is a special opportunity to connect with like-minded souls and explore the unbreakable bond between parents and children.
Paige and her co-facilitator, Nancy Cooper, attended Sally’s original MomChild Reunion in 2010—an experience that transformed their grief journey. Now in their seventh year, they carry Sally’s torch with honor.
To preserve the deeply personal healing environment, attendance is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
When you’re willing to tread beyond the limits of logic, you swim in the presence of your loved one. Dismiss the limits of logic, dismiss what you think you always knew—look away from what the thinking mind is projecting and see what the universe is bringing forth. Don’t look back; go forward with trust and in faith. ---- Paige Lee

Your Guides
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.
