Dr. Paula Petry
Paula Petry, PhD is an author, presenter, and energy medicine practitioner whose life has been shaped and transformed by both her daughter Alexandra’s birth with a severe disability and her death. In lieu of accepting the fate prescribed by physicians she chose to pave a new path for not only her daughter, but for herself and many others.
Paula formed what is now one of the strongest parent advocacy organizations in the country, and brought her passion for family empowerment to her 12-year faculty position at the University of Miami, School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics.
Her awakening led to studies of shamanic energy medicine, sound healing, mindfulness, and somatic therapies. She finds purpose and meaning in helping others discover their innate power to transform their lives.
Dr. Paula has a private practice and is the Wellness Director at the Lightwork Education & Wellness Center, where she teaches her Medicine Wheel & Me curriculum. Her memoir, A Mother’s Courage to Awaken was released through Mango Publishing in October 2020 and is available through Amazon.
