Motivated by her own experiences, Petrea founded the Quest for Life Foundation and has counselled tens of thousands of people living with illness, grief, loss, trauma and tragedy. Petrea sees the challenges in life as a catalyst for personal growth and understanding, as well as an opportunity for healing and peace.
