Petra Gutwirt aka Petraki

Hi, I'm Petraki and welcome to my website. Let me share with you a short story about me.
I am a Czech girl living with my family most of the year in the Caribbean. Currently I am most fulfilled by exploring ways to live a happy and healthy life. I am into yoga, meditation, healthy breathing and eating, minimalism and last but not least positive thinking. Through motivational and inspirational videos, I try to impact the community around me and I would love to share this journey of mine with you too.

Aside from mentioned lifestyle, my other great hobby is creating jewelry and to pass on my recipes for a healthier and happier life to those who come to visit me on vacation in the Caribbean. Whether it is an entire family or individual trip to relax and find a happier life.

I am a mother of two daughters and our family life is a great adventure that we collect in different places around the world.

Going back in time, after my studies I first travelled the world for a few years. Eventually I settled in my hometown of Karlovy Vary in Czech Republic and threw myself full time into working in the hotel industry. I worked as a director of five-star hotels and was awarded as "YOUNG MANAGER OF THE YEAR". One would say an ideal life. Everything was going well for me.

But success was accompanied by a lot of stress, fatigue and general dissatisfaction with my life. I was looking for a way to draw energy and a way out of this stressful environment of demanding work and modern age focused on performance. 

Yoga, which I was already interested in at the time, helped me. The turning point in my life came in Indonesia, where I was sent on a yoga retreat by family and friends. On the island of Bali, I completely fell in love with yoga. There I decided that yoga and everything around it was what I wanted to do and that I would change my life from the ground up. So I became a certified Hatha yoga instructor in 2016 and have been teaching my lessons since then.

I am currently living in the Caribbean. This is also where most of my online club content is created for those of you who are not happy with your current life and want to live it healthier, happier and more content - just like me.

And since Larimar - a unique semi-precious stone - is mined in the Caribbean, I create personal mineral jewelry with it here. I love to create bespoke, on demand and with a specific intention.
Yoga was just the first step in realizing what is important to me in life and what I want. Over time I have added other activities to yoga that feel good to me. Like regular meditation and healthy breathing or working out. I draw from my life's journey in all of the material I film for you. I am happy to do what I enjoy and pass on my happiness.
Don't stop working on your dreams because dreams do come true. I've tried it on myself. You can always make a life change. And often it only takes a little to change our lives for the better. Join my online family today and come change your life with me!

PETRAKI.

Larimar gifts & workshops

All kind of creation is my love and hobby. I am mostly creating spiritual personal jewellery. It can be a nice souvenir or a personal gift. I do create all to order, with passion and love for the purpose of protecting, bringing love, peace and joy.

The most favorite are the special spiritual bracelets, necklases or amulets with Larimar. Larimar is unique mineral stones that is retrieved only in Dominican Republic. I do create them to order so everyone can choose the ball that vibes with him/her. All balls are processed by hand and hand-finished. 

The special cermonial by the sunrise is a part of the creation. It is blessing ritual that everyone can join and this is the time during which we fulfill the intentions we have putten into created jewellery. 

The prices depends on the size of Larimar ball. I do also offer other shape of Larimar but the balls(beads) are the favorite ones.

I can also orginize a WORKSHOP. Everyone can create bracelet or necklace with Larimar bead by himself/herself. The price per person is 60USD and it includes 1 piece of jewellery and blessing ceremony that takes place after the workshop. It usually takes 2 hours.
