Show Notes

Petra is a globetrotting entrepreneur, mental health advocate, & castle passionista. She believes no dream is too big and you are never too old to go after the life you desire. Petra's family relocated from Germany to Canada when she was 13, which was a huge culture shock. During her 23 years in Canada, she watched her parents build their own business in security and telecommunications, which was her first personal experience with entrepreneurship. Out of high school, Petra completed a Bachelor's of Arts in International Relations and French, intending to move to Europe and work for the UN. But, life had it's own ideas and Petra joined the family business and worked with her parents for nearly 10 years.

In 2015, Petra met her now husband and they decided working online and being able to live anywhere sounded like a great future plan. They started with several different network marketing companies, before launching their own online business in email marketing. Petra had always wanted to return to Germany, but, life had its own ideas. In 2017, Petra and her husband ended up moving to the west coast of France with their cat, continuing their online business.

Although Petra loved having her own business & experiencing the culture in another country, 2018 turned out to be a very tough year. Petra experienced several personal losses, which affected her greatly and she first thought about the idea of creating a wellness platform. In 2019, the Jorni was born, a comprehensive wellness platform with a blog and a podcast. Petra also started work on a coaching program for mental and physical wellbeing, and continued her certifications in yoga, meditation, hypnosis, NLP, EFT, life coaching, and sound healing, to be able to support clients in a variety of holistic ways. Petra currently works in France as a coach and yoga teacher, while developing the Jorni. Also a grad student at the University of Wolverhampton, studying to become a psychologist.
