A woman with her own story of finding a way back to herself.
MY STORY
There is a person
behind this work.
I’m Carrie-Leigh Bartlett, owner of Pure Lotus Wellness Retreat in Kemptville, Ontario.
A beginning that shaped me.
My understanding of trauma is personal. I experienced sexual assault in childhood, and my own journey has involved navigating the lasting effects of those experiences and reconnecting with myself.
​
I share this part of my story because it helps explain the care I bring to my work. I know that experiences from long ago can influence how we relate to ourselves, express our needs, and move through the world. Every person’s experience is different, and I approach your story with curiosity and respect.
​
You never need to share more than you want to. Your boundaries, choices, and pace matter here.
Finding Reiki in 2012.
In 2012, after leaving an abusive relationship, I began learning Reiki for myself, with no intention of starting a business.
​
That experience brought a sense of reconnection with myself. I continued into my Master-Teacher level, and what began as part of my personal journey became a turning point in my working life.
​
Pure Lotus began in Kingston in 2012. As my learning and practice grew, so did my desire to offer others a compassionate space for reflection, rest, and connection.
​
A passion that keeps growing.
I love learning, teaching, and helping people explore what supports them. My work brings together emotional awareness, somatic practices, coaching, and energetics, with inner child work woven in where it feels appropriate.
​
We live in an intense, changing world. Everyday pressures can feel overwhelming, especially when we’re already carrying difficult experiences. I’m passionate about helping people find ways to meet that world with greater self-understanding, practical support, and space to breathe.
​
For some people, that means exploring boundaries or recurring patterns. For others, it means quiet rest, spiritual reflection, or reconnecting with a part of themselves they’ve missed. Your reasons for coming are welcome.
My hope is to offer a space where y ou can feel heard, honour your needs, and begin to reconnect with yourself.

WHAT MATTERS TO ME
Support with room to be yourself.
Your pace.
​
There is space to ask questions, take a pause, and choose how much you want to share. We begin with where you are.
Your preferences.
You can seek practical support, spiritual exploration, or a blend. Spiritual practices are offered according to your comfort and beliefs.
Your voice.
My work invites you to explore your feelings and needs, develop self-trust, and make choices that feel meaningful to you.
