What our clients are saying about their Rooted experiences?
I had been following along and watching from the side lines as Kailee guided many groups all around the world to different sacred sites over the last couple years. Last month I decided it was my turn to be IN the experience so I gifted myself a retreat with her to Mount Shasta, California and what a gift it was. She said to us on the first day "We start as strangers and leave as family" and wow did that ever prove to be true. The community of like minded women was incredible to be a part of. The entire experience was curated perfectly with Kailee guiding us with her impeccable planning skills to make the most of our days together. It was nothing short of magically on so many different levels. This was my first retreat and I know it will not be my last. - Charnelle - Canada (Mount Shasta Retreat 2024)
The connection with the land & soul filling experiences I shared is unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced. Kailee is an incredible leader who not only holds space for everyone but also holds so much wisdom of the land. She took time to get to know each of us and asked questions that opened you right up. Her energy is so healing, loving and light making it easy to connect with her.
I’ve learned sooo much about myself on this journey and can feel new layers of me emerging and uncovering, kinda like a blooming rose with each petal unfolding something new. I’m looking forward to stepping into the new and taking these experiences with me everywhere I go.
Glastonbury now has a special place in my heart. I’m forever grateful for this experience and the special memories created that I can revisit and remember the slice of paradise I’ve experienced. My heart is filled with so much love and gratitidue. - Sabina - Canada 2024 (Avalon Retreat)
This was my second retreat with Kailee and each one is such divine timing to what you need. Kailee creates a community of healing and puts love in each and every detail of the retreat. Sedona was everything I needed and more. The sacred sites that she brings you to and the experiences she cultivates is magical and truly healing. These retreats open your mind, heart and soul up to the beautiful world we live in and the joy we all are meant to receive and hold for ourselves. I leave a changed woman each time and feel so held by the container of women and land we visit. Thank you, Kailee, for sharing your gift and love with this world.
Thank you, for everything that you do. I don't know where I would be without you! - Diana - Canada 2024 (Sedona Retreat)
Thank you for these magical days in the South of France. What I experienced was an unfolding, an expansion that happened naturally, a connection with the divine. The mystery of Mary Magdalene, the beauty of nature, the power of love: it was all there! The warmth and vulnerability of sitting in circle, the sacred rituals and ceremonies, the kind and gentle words you shared all led to an opening of my heart and a softening of my body… Thank you for facilitating the birth of a new Christina, one who is ready to relax, knowing that I am enough, that I can love myself and accept myself as I am. Thank you for helping me open my heart to love and to the joy of being a sacred feminine, allowing myself to be a priestess. Love you both! - Christina, Switzerland, 2024
My trip to Sedona with Rooted Retreats was nothing short of incredible. Kailee's meticulous planning and attention to detail transformed the itinerary, accommodations, and guest healers into a seamless and unforgettable experience. She not only took us to sacred sites with incredible views, but also enriched the journey by fostering meaningful connections among the women in the group. Kailee's ability to lead with both warmth and fun made the whole experience truly special. If you're seeking a trip that's transformative and filled with heartfelt connections, I highly recommend Rooted Sedona! - Meghan - Canada - 2024
I'm still digesting our days in Kauai. It almost feels like a dream. Everything you planned, every detail -- did not go unnoticed -- I truly appreciated all that I saw, learned and experienced. In the end it was your spirit, guidance and leadership that made "Rooted Kauai" not only a trip of a lifetime, but a unique and invaluable opportunity to reconnect with myself and my truth. Forever grateful. - Joanne - Canada - 2024
I didn't think I was a retreat girlie but Rooted Retreats proved otherwise. Traveling can be anxiety inducing for me because I am always the planner and the worrier. However, because Kailee is so thoughtful, trustworthy, detailed oriented and organized - I was able to fully drop into being present! Everyday was full of surprises, laughter and genuine connection with the women, land and spirit. It was amazing to experience my favourite place, within a different lens. I didn't realize most of the locations and experiences Kailee planned for us were possible on that beautiful island. This retreat gave me the space I didn't know I needed to align to the powerful energies that were laying at the surface for me. Forever grateful for this experience. - Thelma - Canada - 2024 (Kauai Retreat)
The Joshua Tree retreat was more magical than I could have EVER dreamed. The most luxurious accommodations, a private chef - truly NO details missed to make this experience absolutely 5 star! I felt beyond nurtured and taken care of - and as a busy mama, it was beyond exceptional to have someone take care of me for a change. Kailee thought of literally EVERYTHING. The sacred ceremonies and experiences she planned with the land and local healers, deepened my connection to myself and my purpose. Kailee, Linda, Court, and the whole group - were all kindred spirits after day 1. We quickly became a family and I had no idea how much I needed that sisterhood. I needed this adventure so much and it was just that. A beautiful adventure! Full of laughs, tears, healing and a lot of fun! I came home with rested body, a clear mind and a nourished soul! I can't WAIT to join another retreat! Words are just to small to express my gratitude! - Chantelle - Canada - 2023

Attending the Mount Shasta retreat surpassed all my expectations. The care that Kailee puts into these retreats is so special, she is amazing. It is hard to put into words what this retreat has done for me, all I can say is that I am forever grateful. The magic that Mount Shasta holds allowed for deep healing and the sacred sites we visited were absolutely incredible. If you are called to attend a retreat with Kailee please do it, it promises to be a life changing experience. Thank you so much Rooted Retreats I will definitely be joining another in the future! - Raheela - Canada - 2023
Words can not explain how grateful I am to Kailee for the pilgrimage excursion I just returned from in Ireland. My souls home is in Ireland and every scared site we visited was transformational. I have returned home a different women. Kailee organized and intentions behind each site was exactly what I needed. Everyone needs to experience a pilgrimage excursion and having Kailee as your guide you will not be disappointed. - Wendy - Canada - 2023
The Rooted Avalon retreat exceeded all of my expectations and was such a pivotal part of my journey! From ancestral healing to transcendent visions, deepening my purpose to joyful feminine magic, this retreat was fantastic. Kailee is an incredible leader, full of integrity, compassion, and wisdom. And the gathering of sisters was so nourishing and fun! I truly felt held and met in every way, and I'm so grateful. It was a stretch for me to join at first given I didn't know anyone on the retreat and found Kailee online, but it was worth every penny and every ounce of intention and energy. Thank you Kailee! So happy to have found you - Violet - USA - 2023
My heart has been forever healed and changed by Rooted Sacred Retreats and Kailee!
Kailee's attention to detail, commitment to the sacred and her easy going grounded heart made this experience beyond what I could have imagined. The scheduled was absolutely elevating with one sacred site, speakers of the land, and Kailees well planned ceremonies enhanced every day on retreat to a new high! I am definitely going to be booking my next adventure with Rooted Retreats so I can bask in the love and wisdom of this amazing Goddess Kailee! - Marcia - USA - 2023
Rooted Ireland was profound and heart opening. It does not matter where you travel with Kailee as she immerses you in the sacredness of both the land and ancient wisdom it holds. She cradles your heart so delicately just as Mother Earth gently does with her love & wisdom. What is the most profound in her retreats is the way she holds a container of women and allows all the beauty to unfold within every single one. Rooted Ireland had me fall in love with myself. I walked away loving all versions of me: past, present & future. Thank-you Kailee for following your path & lighting up this world through travel & sacred ceremony. - Karla - Canada - 2023
Hard to write when it’s more a feeling than words! For sure upgraded everything on that trip. The Avalon retreat filled my heart and chalice cup! Kailee puts so much love and intention into every detail, from our accommodations to each site we visited. We had 2 local guides join us to share their knowledge of the land as well. Connecting with the women on this retreat was incredible and I love each one of them deeply. These relationships will be for a lifetime. I can’t choose the best part of this retreat because every single second was my favourite. It’s hard to describe in words, I felt a shift in me on a soul level being there. Thank you Kailee for saying yes to Glastonbury, weaving this group together and guiding us through the absolute love and magic of this land. - Karissa - Canada - 2023
I attended the retreat with my heart and mind open, not knowing what to expect. Glorious! Our group melded right away and Kailee’s organization
And attention to every little detail made it perfect. My heart burst wide open and healed in ways I didn’t even know needed healing. The sites were pure magic! Our morning and evening circles lent too many tears, but also much laughter and healing. If I was able, I would love to attend any retreat Kailee lead…she is pure light. - Donna - Canada - 2023
If you are ready to truly do something just for YOU…to connect with your soul…to push yourself out of your comfort zone and make connections to last a lifetime…a Rooted Retreat with Kailee is exactly where you need to be!
It will be one of the most incredible, heart opening experiences in the most beautiful, hand curated spaces you will ever experience! Take the leap!!! - Nan - Canada - 2023
You are amazing at this ! I've been on many retreats and by far yours was up there in top 2 ! Taking the Sacred Land Journey, Rooted in Ireland was one of the best retreats I've been on. From day one until day nine, the organization, effort , ease, love for teaching, and holding space was something that came natural to Kailee. Everyday felt like a new joyful adventure with plenty of laughter, time to self reflect, and to bask in the beauty of the land. The vision to lead all of us on our own journeys and our journey together was completed in a beautiful thoughtful way. 5 STARS ! Cannot wait to go on another retreat with Kailee. - Denise - USA - 2022
One late night, I was reflecting on several life altering events that had occurred over the past seven months. During that reflection, I determined I needed to do something just for me, to go somewhere that fed my soul, to find something that would help me make sense of the past and prepare me for the future. Somehow, serendipitously, I found Kailee and her Rooted Ireland Retreat. I felt an immediate “knowing” that this was exactly what I was seeking - and it was in Ireland, which had been calling to my American born Irish bones my entire life - so I signed up without hesitation.
From the moment I met Kailee in the hotel lobby in Dublin, I knew this was going to be an amazing experience. Her positive energy and attention to every detail became evident immediately. I knew I was going to be free from worry and simply be able to enjoy the adventure - and that’s exactly what happened. To top it off, we had a phenomenal group of women.
Kailee led us all to the most beautiful, spiritual and sacred places in West and East Ireland. We started at the cliffs (the ones you always see in the movies. I thought I knew how it would feel, but being there was beyond breathtaking. It exceeded my expectations. That’s how it was at every site we visited.
The first half of our trip was in the West; we stayed in the most idyllic town on the water. We resided in ancient renovated cottages by the sea. Amazing. We had morning gatherings for meditation before we embarked on our daily adventures. Every day was uniquely amazing. Kailee found us guides who knew the land and the legends, who shared the history and the significant events, who loved and shared the secrets. I had never experienced such beautiful spiritual adventures. When we went to the East, we stayed on a beautiful large wooded property with an amazing garden and idyllic yoga room. It was out of a storybook. Kailee found amazing guides for this half of the trip as well. Phenomenal.
Throughout the trip, we felt as if we were transported to other times and dimensions; through our guides, we were led through experiences as if we were there…and it truly felt like we were. It was as if we had this cadre of secret sacred guides to transport us. Every single experience was absolutely phenomenal.
Of note, for those who love food, I have to admit I have never had such fresh, healthy and delicious meals. Kailee made sure that any dietary needs were met. And the people of Ireland are some of the kindest, most considerate, inviting people I have ever had the privilege to meet.
If you want to take an amazing journey, physically and spiritually, where all the travel and adventure details have been figured out for you, where the leader is an amazingly kind and joyful spiritual guide, where her energy attracts phenomenal travel mates, then I highly recommend you join Kailee for one of her retreats. I am definitely going to join her again soon!!!! - Sharon - USA - 2022
