Welcome to Empowered Mind and Body LLC. I am Dr. Petra Roesner and I am dedicated to providing high quality services for all I work with, through coaching for life or coaching students in the Korean martial art of Taekwondo

My background is in social and human services I have worked with individuals and families along the entire life-span, from helping families with young children to those who are receiving end-of-life care via multiple counseling approaches (e.g. cognitive-behavioral, family systems, parent-child interaction, solution focused and grief and bereavement). I also assist students and their families to help them navigate the hurdles of manages school life through approaches that focus to improve executive and academic functioning to achieve the best outcomes, balance, harmony and empowerment.

My passion is practicing and teaching Taekwondo, where the focus is not necessarily on competition, but rather on the transformative journey that can be enjoyed by students of all ages. I believe in mastery of art and teaching the values that come along with it and that benefits students of the art throughout life as they learn to overcome challenges through physical and mental empowerment.

Whether I am helping you in a transformative life journey or teaching you Taekwondo, I will never view you as a client, but as my partner, helping to achieve goals through approaches  that put you first. I will do so with a spirit of Aloha, as living in Hawaii for eight years has taught me wonderful approaches to life using the concepts of Ohana (family), Ha’Aponopono (to make right) and talk-story to achieve balance and harmony.
