"Petra has a unique gift. She combines great gentleness with a commitment to her client's healing. Her wealth of knowledge reassures my (always testing!) mind, and I'm learning new ways of being with what--for me--was an untenable and destructive relationship with food.
Her holistic approach gives me great optimism for a new way of being--with food, and with myself."
