Dr Paula Petry met Karen Mellers whilst travelling in the UK in search of new partnerships to open up her profound healing work with individuals and groups. Paula’s own exploration of the spiritual side of life started as a result of deep personal loss following the death of her daughter.

Whilst psychology was profoundly helpful at her time of greatest grief it did not answer the big questions. Where do we go when we die? Will I see my daughter again? What do I need to learn from her death? This led her to a meeting with a medium which changed absolutely everything. She came to understand that we can use our inner eye to see beyond the veil of death and also into the deeper aspects of our psyche to understand and heal what is held there.

This took Paula into the academic study of consciousness, quantum physics, transpersonal psychology and spirituality and into her own development as a Shamanic Energy Healer.

She explains how this life of study and practice now informs her retreats and her newest approach called ‘Healing Waves’.
