Meet Petra Schalk

Petra Schalk is an Occupational Therapist and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine (AKA acupuncturist).  She and her husband, Igor, share an 11-year-old son, Julian.  Every year they go to Europe to visit their families.  They also love exploring Mexico, specifically enchanted by the Yucatan Peninsula with its rich culture and delightful food. 

For many years their family has invited friends for a traditional sit-down German Christmas dinner with a big roast, dumplings, two types of cabbages and of course always a delicious dessert. Last year was oven-baked apples filled with vanilla ice cream.  This December, Petra is looking forward to celebrating her 50th birthday. 

One of the ways she keeps herself looking young and fresh is using Annemarie Boerlind products.  Her favorite, because they are chemical-free and not tested on animals.  Why we at B Theory love this…..European products have notoriously-high ingredient standards. 

Petra also enjoys working out on a rowing machine and yoga - both having a true meditative aspect to them which she loves.  In the winter she can be found cross-country skiing and her summers are filled with gardening and harvesting vegetables. She likes to explore one vegetable each year and season.  This year’s selection is eggplant!

Petra’s favorite skincare treatment:  

“I have a wonderful facial with Brooke every 6 weeks. Why I love it? Because it's divine.”
