The Foundation was established by Petrea King N.D., D.R.M., D.B.M., Dip.Cl.Hyp., I.Y.T.A. who is at the forefront of wellness education and is a frequent lecturer at medical and other conferences. Petrea sees crisis as a catalyst for personal growth and understanding and as an opportunity for healing and peace. She is a valued speaker, lecturer and facilitator of workshops.
