Our mission
Your way to yourself — with honest guidance
A light for the world — starting with you. That is not a marketing line; it is the order in which this work happens.
At a glance
Camino Hacia Ti is the International Institute for Physical-Energetic Work in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. It is run by Petra Zakel, who has been working with people for over 30 years.
The institute offers one-to-one sessions, both in person and online — energy work, transformational coaching, hypnosis, systemic constellations and mediumistic work — as well as spiritual group journeys with a maximum of twelve participants.
For people who are seeking something that goes beyond the visible, yet do not wish to relinquish their rational faculties.
What I offer — and where I stop
What I offer
- I provide a space where you can look at things that wouldn’t otherwise have a place.
- I work using methods that I have learnt and practised over the course of decades.
- I’ll tell you what I perceive — and leave it up to you to decide what to do with it.
- I’ll let you know the price, duration and procedure before you make your decision.
Where I stop
- I do not make diagnoses or treat illnesses.
- I do not promise a cure, relief or any specific result.
- I do not replace medical, naturopathic or psychotherapeutic treatment.
- I would never advise you to stop any ongoing treatment or medication.
How I work
Each of these methods represents a distinct approach; they are not simply techniques to be applied. All are spiritual or experience-based — none of them is scientifically proven.
- Energetic work — working with what is at play beneath the surface.
- Transformational coaching — recognizing recurring patterns.
- Hypnosis — working in a relaxed state, while fully conscious, and which can be stopped at any time.
- Systemic constellations according to Bert Hellinger — bringing to light what is at work within family and relationship systems.
- Mediumship — perceptions that you can verify for yourself.
- Light Shamanism — the oldest healing tradition, linked to the concept of biophotons.
What you can rely on
- It’s up to you — always.
- I do not promise a cure.
- My work is not a substitute for medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.
- I’m open about how I work — including on a spiritual level.

Here and online
The institute is situated in Puerto de la Cruz on the north coast of Tenerife. Individual sessions are available both in person and online — they are equivalent, as the majority of the work takes place online anyway, particularly in German-speaking countries.
The spiritual journeys take participants to places of power such as the Moroccan Atlas Mountains, Galicia or Portugal, and usually last between 7 and 14 days. A maximum of twelve people per journey.
