I'm Petra,
the being
behind
Being of the Earth.
Hello & Welcome!
As a somatic therapist, Movement Medicine teacher and group facilitator, I support you to work with the intelligence of your nervous system and the deep wisdom held in your body — especially in the context of trauma, stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and stuck patterns. My work is grounded in the understanding that real, lasting change happens through embodied experience.
The modalities I work with helps us to cultivate greater regulation, resilience, and capacity for presence. The aim is not only to feel better, but to become more fully alive: more connected to creativity, belonging, and the ability to act on behalf of the whole, ie the web of life.
I think of my work as an ecosystem — alive with different strands that come forward at different times, yet all contribute to nourishing the ground of transformation. Whether through one-to-one sessions, group spaces, or community practices, I’m passionate about integrating trauma-informed care, embodiment, nervous system literacy, and connection to the more-than-human world.
Some of the core questions that guide my work include: How does deep personal and collective change happen? What helps us reconnect — with ourselves, with others, and with the wider web of life? And how can we move toward a more just, regenerative, and meaningful future — from the inside out?
Being of the Earth is all about the interwoven threads of personal healing and collective change at this critical time on Planet Earth where we face many challenges and crises. This work is for you if you are looking to heal and resource yourself not just for your individual success but in relationship and service to the web of life to which we all belong.
If someone paints you a picture of your health and freedom but they don't include your connection to the Earth, then they're lying to you.
