About Us
Located in the heart of rural Prince Edward Island on Breadalbane’s famous Dixon Road, Purearth Farm & Spa is a 4-season retreat designed to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit.
Safe in the embrace of nature, you are invited to experience the regenerative powers of touch, forest bathing, animal therapy, and life without wifi.
The Purearth Way
The Purearth Way is whatever way you choose to experience this magical place. All of our packages, retreats and experiences are designed to create the conditions for a transformative, healing journey.
There is no one-size-fits-all formula for connecting with your self. You need only disconnect, let quietness settle in and listen to the whispers of your soul. It will tell you what it desires, whether it’s a solo walk in nature, a relaxing facial, or a peaceful spot to journal and reflect.
Come, find a better connection with your self.
Meet the Purearth Team
We are Susie and Nick - partners in life, homesteaders, nature lovers, and your Purearth hosts. We created this special place in the forest because we have a deep desire to help people heal and connect with what really matters.
Along with our daughter, Frankie, and our flock of friendly farm animals, we warmly invite you to step into the sanctuary of Purearth Farm & Spa. We’ll be here to welcome you with open arms.
Susie
A creative soul, Susie has a great appreciation for beauty and gives her attention to the small details that matter. She’s also a visionary who loves to dream big - Purearth Farm & Spa represents Susie’s grandest vision turned beautiful reality.
Deeply caring and nurturing, Susie has a natural gift for making people feel safe in her company without even trying. At her essence, Susie is a healer. Drawing on her extensive experience working with the body as an aesthetician and her more recent training in Spinal Flow Technique, Susie harnesses her gifts for healing through the power of touch.
An advocate for natural beauty, Susie believes the best ingredients for maintaining wellness inside and out are found in nature. Everything she uses at Purearth Spa is foraged from the farm and hand-crafted by Susie with great love.
Beyond her work as a healer, Susie feeds her soul by cooking, antiquing with Nick, and spending quality time with family and friends.
A fun fact about Susie - she has never owned a computer or laptop (until now).
Nick
The quintessential outdoorsman, Nick’s love for nature knows no bounds. Growing up on a farm in rural PEI, the forests, fields and waterways were his unofficial classrooms and he soaked up everything they had to teach him. A self-taught man, Nick enjoys hunting, fishing, foraging, taking care of animals, working with wood, and everything else that allows him to connect with nature. A ‘fixer’ at heart, Nick is always at the ready when something needs to be repaired on the farm.
A people person to his core, you’ll also find Nick bringing community together. Naturally outgoing and curious, he loves meeting new people and forging genuine connections. Nick thoroughly enjoys sharing his knowledge and love of the natural world with Purearth guests - ask him anything, and he’ll probably have the answer without Googling it.

Our Philosophy & Values
At Purearth Farm & Spa, everything we do is guided by a deeply-held belief that the body, mind, and soul are innately designed to heal. Our vision is to provide a safe space and nurturing experiences that allow for a transformative healing journey.
Compassion
We always lead with kindness and care. We hold a safe, judgement-free space for our guests to release the stresses and traumas they’ve been carrying. We are dedicated to supporting each guest’s personal healing journey. Whether you need a shoulder to cry on, a farm animal to cuddle, or quiet privacy, you will find what your body and soul need at Purearth.
Health
We wholeheartedly believe that our natural state as humans is one of abundant health and well-being. We are dedicated to creating experiences and spaces for our guests that allow the body, mind, and soul to heal. We are also committed to providing a healthy work environment and work-life balance for our Purearth team.
Authenticity
We are genuine in everything we do and say. We act with integrity in our words and deeds. We show up as our true selves and strive to create a space where our guests feel safe to fully be themselves too. Being fake or pretending to be something we aren’t is simply not in our DNA.
Family
Our given family and our chosen family mean the world to us and we want to help create a better world for them. We strive to create a welcoming space where families of every makeup can experience rejuvenation and deepen the bonds that tie them together.
Respect
We treat all of Mother Nature’s creations with the utmost respect. We honour the needs of our guests and all fellow humans. We honour the life force of all animals and provide those in our care with dignity, love, and the space to live their best life. We hold the lands, skies, and waters of Earth in great esteem and steward them with the utmost care.
Community
We believe that together we are better. In everything that we do, we endeavour to create a strong sense of belonging and inclusiveness. Everyone is welcome in our Purearth community. We believe in supporting local businesses that share our values of sustainability, caring, and community-mindedness.
