Petra U. Fresestudied at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin among other places to become a scientist and moved to West Germany after the Wall came down. Later on, she relocated to picturesque Southern Germany on the Swiss and French border and eventually to Switzerland where she became a volunteer firefighter and took care of the elderly. One of the most decisive events in her life was a sudden and terrible illness that befell her daughter. This experience made her realize along the way she had reinvented a kind of suggestion-based therapy close to hypnosis. Her daughter survived and regained perfect health after the doctors had predicted death and later a life in a wheelchair. This, in turn, led to Petra understanding that she should heal the world by becoming a world-renowned hypnotist and hypnosis instructor with offices in Switzerland and Pennsylvania, USA. She regularly is invited as a keynote speaker around the globe. For her lifetime achievements, Petra was awarded an honorary doctorate in psychology. She now lives in Allentown, PA.
