Hi, I'm Petra
[B.A. (Humanities), Dip. HICAT, Dip. Life Coaching]

I grew up in Hawkes Bay, spending my early years at Maraetotara, 30 mins east of Havelock North, before moving to the Ormondville area of Southern Hawkes Bay, where I still live. I started being creative at a young age, and never stopped! The magic, joy and endless possibilities of art
give it a special place in my life.
My favorite medium is always watercolour, as it lets the light shine through the colours in a magical way, and the mobile, flowing paint has a relaxing, revitalising quality unmatched by any other. Living mindfully and connecting with nature has always been important in my life. This interest, alongside a wish to support others in discovering the healing, balancing, joy-bringing effects of mindful creativity, lead me to complete a Diploma in Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy. This encompassed study of creative therapies, relaxation techniques and holistic counselling. Additionally, I have completed courses in life coaching, journal therapy and aromatherapy.
I look forward to helping you on your own wellbeing journey with art!
