Hi! I'm Petra
Â
When I started working with the body having done my Sports Massage training back in 2003, I knew there was something missing. I wasn't sure what it was but I knew I didn't want to be 'just' a massage therapist.
After discovering the wonders of Myofascial Release therapy I began working with women who had had radical mastectomies and were suffering pain and discomfort.Â
I had heard about Lymph Drainage but had no idea what it was. I did know I wanted to help women recover better after surgery and somehow improve their quality of life.
After much research I discovered a therapist in Michigan, USA, who integrated specialist techniques to help reduce swelling and problematic scar tissue to dramatically improve people's lives.
So, in 2006 I travelled to Ann Arbor in Michigan to learn Lymph Drainage Therapy and Postoperative and Post-Trauma Scar Therapy.
After a successful 20 year career as a Lymphoedema and Scar Tissue Therapist helping thousands of people recover after injury and surgery, let me guide you through YOUR journey to SUCCESS and bypass the 20 years I spent getting to where I am now.Â
Come and join me in Belfast Pilates and Physiotherapy Clinic, Belfast from the 25th to 29th July 2025, where I will share with you the specialist techniques I've developed to help you grow your massage therapy business and be known as the go-to 'holisitc' therapist in your area.

Absolutely do it! Petra's knowledge and experience are invaluable and will aid you in becoming a much better practitioner for yourself, your clients and your business.

It was what I was missing. This training covers a very wide range of subjects, and I have learned a lot. Everything seems to fall in place for me, and all that I am doing makes sense. I am credible.
