Born and raised in Munich, Germany, Petra studied Light and Sound Meditation (Surat Shabd Yoga) for 11 years, some of that time in India with her Teacher and also in the  United States. In the mid 80's, Petra helped establish a Sustainable Community/Retreat Center and owned a Healing Center "Kiva Center for the Healing Arts" and Vegetarian Restaurant.

Her curious nature, love for helping people and her happy, high-energy personality has inspired many through-out her 25 years of teaching Personal Growth, Healing Workshops, Reiki, and Yoga. Petra currently has over 2200 Reiki Students world-wide and continues to teach class in the US, Europe  and Costa Rica.

In Petra's words: 

"The more you see yourself as what you'd like to become, and act as if what you want is already here now, the more you'll activate those dormant forces that will help you transform your dream into your reality. You must dream - dream big and never, ever let anyone take your dream away."
