Journey to Healing
It was in 2016 when my son was diagnosed with learning disability Auditory Processing Disorder, that lead me for searching what can I do to help him and change what general doctors didn’t seem to be able to change. Together with my husband we found ways to audio training and special auditory therapy, that lead within 1,5 years to complete change of my son’s situation and problems. I knew than and there that there is more than we are told and made to believe.
The step towards alternative therapy and healing started however already in 2014 when several personal happenings took course and I was not finding a way out of what felt to be deeper and deeper hole, taking me to burn out and border line depression in 2018, after closing my business as well. I found myself at such a state of mind, one could say misery of 4 home walls, that I knew than and there, I have to either visit a specialist and a doctor, or I have to find a way to heal myself with methods I believe in. And I took the 2nd choice. I started visiting all kinds of therapists and healers, Aurasoma, Kinesiology, Hypnotherapy, Quantum energy, Reiki, Cranio Sacral therapy, Osteopathy, Shiatsu and Breathwork.
If you know me, you know I have to try it all, to understand, believe or not. And I started to believe even in more than I did until than.
Fast forward few years, I shifted from being a client to being a student and learning many of the modalities and therapies myself, entering feminine wisdom groups of women and finding my WHY? Why am I unwell. Why am I here. What is my purpose. What are the next steps I need to take.
I trained to become Children’s yoga teacher, Reiki healer, Quantum Energy healer, Bushflower Essence specialist, Soul reading fairy, next to that I was learning about health through nutrition, ayurveda, as well as educating myself in neuroplasticity, trauma healing or shamanic practices and much more.
This journey took me also though one of the toughest decisions ever in my life, when finding a way and peace in my marriage didn’t work, despite all the trials, the decision to ending my marriage.
Path of Breath
When my first child was born, and I was quite overwhelmed and stressed I took a visit to an acupuncturist in 2010. And that lady in Horgen, was the first person ever that has told me ‘Petra, you don’t breathe well. And because of that your chest is raised up.’
I didn’t know what she’s talking about, only to be told and observe at the age of 33 how shallow and imprisoned my breath feels, how tight and painful my chest is, how my heart can’t expand. I didn’t follow quite anything specific after that, other than my other healing and therapies finding myself, thinking what can I do about changing my chest or breath…
It was in 2018 I cam to a very special man in Prague, whom I heard about through my learning, his name was Martin. And he was doing breathing, called ‘Rebirthing’. Never heard, didn’t know what it is, but went for my first 1,5 hour session, and as much as weird and awkward that was, a very specific and unique way of breathing and being ‘guided’, I kept coming back and had several more 1-1 sessions with him.
When covid came and I was searching online for help and support, or where to escape and run away to (like Guatemala) I came across a shaman breath worker and another Zurich based lady that did breathwork, breathwork kept calling me, and I did not know why. I thought I am just supposed to heal this way and work on myself. I thought about the training, but I knew I am called by every training and I must stop following all those calls.
It was at the beginning of 2023 when friend invited me to a breathwork in Zurich, and it was so amazing experience, so different from any other, I felt my feminine power during the breathwork, my sexual energy, I felt me… was that me? Talking afterwards with the trainer, I learned about her training with Alchemy of Breath, and within 2 weeks I was signed up for the training. Mids my divorce and without enough money to pay this, I borrowed parts of the money from a friend. And that’s where my 15 months long, 400 hrs journey of breath started.
I love my path with breath, every time I took another breathwork session I released more, I healed more and I came closer to myself. A small parts within me healed and cleaned, and each time a small window opened up to a new fresh breath of air. The more I was breathing, the better I could breathe, the better I was feeling, the more empowered I was. I knew if I had nothing left, in all I was going through, my breath was my guide and my best friend, always.
And today, I am here for all those who are called to discover a deep breaths as a path of their own healing, self – empowerment, confidence and finding themselves and who they truly are.
Get to
Know Petra
Petra, originally from Prague, Czech Republic, has lived in Zurich, Switzerland, since 2005. She is a devoted mother of two teenage children and a sweet dog, Oliver.
Her journey into breathwork began as a profound path of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment during her separation and divorce. Through breath, Petra not only reconnected with herself but also found her strength, voice, and inner softness.
Petra’s introduction to breathwork started in 2018 in Prague, where she experienced her first one-on-one Rebirthing Breathwork session. Though she didn’t fully understand why at the time, she kept returning to the practice. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she found solace and transformation in online breathwork sessions, particularly through Rebirthing and Shamanic Breathwork.
In 2023, in the midst of her personal transformation, Petra committed to deepening her practice and enrolled in the Alchemy of Breath 400-hour Breathwork Facilitation Training, where she studied under the guidance of Kerry Veitch.
Today, as a certified breathwork facilitator, Petra is passionate about guiding women, men, and children through life’s challenges, personal transformation, and journeys of self-discovery. Her sessions are known for their gentle yet profound impact, offering a safe space for deep healing and empowerment.
