Meet the Expert
Dr. Paula Petry
Paula Petry, PhD, is a transformational practitioner, speaker, and author who blends psychology, somatic awareness, and decades of healing experience into a deeply intuitive, presence-based approach and understanding of who we are as spiritual beings – our Divine Design. With a doctorate from the University of Miami and professional training in shamanic energy medicine and intention-based modalities, Paula helps individuals release long-held emotional and energetic imprints and reconnect with their innate clarity and vitality. She offers presentations, private sessions, workshops, and retreats in the U.S. and internationally.
She is the author of A Mother’s Courage to Awaken and 24/7 Flow: Thrive Around the Clock. She leads retreats, workshops, and private sessions in the U.S. and internationally. She is a regular at Tenuta di Paternostro where she holds retreats, and small groups and individual sessions being with the horses.
Tenuta di Paternostro is a sanctuary where nature, healing, and connection come together to inspire deep personal growth. At its core lies a guiding essence, a sense of peace and harmony woven into every part of the estate. The Soul Herd, a group of wild, free-roaming horses, plays a central role in this unique approach to well-being. More than animals, they are companions and guides on a healing journey, living freely in a space where they are deeply respected.
Guests are invited to connect with these majestic beings in silence, fostering a quiet, intuitive bond that opens space for stillness, presence, and reflection. Located in the heart of Tuscia, just north of Rome, the estate sits on land once beloved by popes and aristocrats for its forests, lakes, and healing springs. Guests can explore the region’s food, history, and traditions through curated local experiences.
Set among thirty hectares of meadows, gardens, ancient oaks, and an organic olive grove producing Olio di Olivia, the estate is a haven of calm. Five exclusive suites in the main Casale offer space for rest and renewal. Once a breeding ground for thoroughbred racehorses, the estate is now devoted to healing — blending ancient wisdom and modern wellness through equine therapy, retreats, and holistic treatments.
