About us

Dear friends,

The name Qessence comes from “Quintessence” – the pure, fundamental essence we seek, cultivate, and share with the world. At the heart of our philosophy lies this concept of authentic essence, which defines not only knowledge, but also the way we relate to ourselves and to life.

We are a dedicated and passionate team, with the mission to support personal development and holistic balance through an integrated and profound approach. Our purpose is to help every individual unlock their full potential by combining methods of self-knowledge and self-mastery with alternative pathways for personal growth and energetic alignment.

Our team of trainers, with experience in fields ranging from pharmacy to crisis management, offers a wide range of courses and transformational sessions. We draw from 13 interconnected systems of wisdom and practice, including:

  • I Ching (Yi Jing) – the wisdom of change and universal flow

  • Human Design – the unique energetic blueprint of each individual

  • The Gene Keys – unlocking higher gifts and potential

  • BaZi (Chinese Astrology) – decoding life patterns and strengths

  • Feng Shui – creating supportive spaces for harmony and success

  • Qi Men Dun Jia – strategy and timing for decision-making

  • Classical Astrology – mapping planetary influences

  • Mayan Astrology – cycles of time and consciousness

  • Birthday Referential (Tarot Archetypes) – symbolic insights into destiny

  • Jungian Typologies – archetypes of the human psyche

  • The Enneagram – personality dynamics and transformation

  • Kabbalah – spiritual structure of life and creation

  • Modern Coaching Practices – grounding ancient wisdom into practical action

We believe strongly that every person has the capacity to reach their goals and live a fulfilled, harmonious life. Our courses are designed with professionalism and clarity, covering themes from self-knowledge and personal growth to holistic health and spiritual well-being. They are interactive, inspiring, and provide a supportive environment where participants can explore new dimensions of understanding. Whether you seek to improve your relationships, find inner peace, or discover new pathways of evolution, you will find programs tailored to your journey.

In addition to group workshops, we offer personalized one-to-one coaching to support specific challenges and aspirations. We recognize that every person is unique, and therefore our guidance is adapted to each individual’s needs, goals, and rhythm.

We warmly invite you to join us in this journey of knowledge and transformation. Our community is open to all who wish to explore, grow, and align with their deepest essence.

 

Dr. Alina Petrache

At the center of Qessence International is Dr. Alina Petrache – pharmacist, therapist, researcher, and metaphysical coach. With over 20 years of professional experience, she has witnessed first-hand the growing interest in alternative medicine and how deeply it can impact health and well-being. She realized that true transformation comes not from treating symptoms alone, but from discovering personalized solutions that address the unique needs of each individual.

Her career began in the field of pharmacy, where she combined scientific rigor with a compassionate, holistic approach. Over time, her passion for science intertwined with a fascination for ancestral wisdom, creating a bridge between modern knowledge and timeless traditions. From childhood, Alina was drawn to Chinese culture – with its symbolism, its natural rhythms, and its subtle understanding of the interaction between humans and the universe.

This fascination led her to deeply study classical Chinese systems such as I Ching, Feng Shui, Qi Men Dun Jia and BaZi . Each of these disciplines offered her unique insights into how energy influences health, prosperity, and inner balance. Feng Shui helped her understand how our physical environment mirrors and shapes our inner state. Qi Men Dun Jia opened perspectives on decision-making and strategy. BaZi and I Ching revealed the hidden life patterns, destiny, and potential within every individual.

For over two decades, Alina has dedicated herself to teaching and coaching through these systems, helping people explore the connections between their inner energies and the external world. In her courses and consultations, she provides practical tools to understand personal strengths, navigate challenges, and align with universal rhythms. Whether through BaZi to identify strengths, or through Qi Men Dun Jia to guide strategic decisions, Alina empowers people to live with clarity and confidence.

Her expertise is not limited to metaphysics. In 2024, she completed a PhD thesis on innovative methods of fertilization and irrigation for Fragaria vesca var. Alexandria and Fragaria viridis (wild strawberries) in the context of climate change. Her research included advanced analysis such as Electronic Spin Resonance (ESR) and applied solutions like organic fertilization and agro-homeopathy. This same dedication to detail, adaptability, and integration defines her approach to both science and holistic health.

Through all her work, Alina embodies a mission: to support people in finding balance, unlocking their potential, and harmonizing ancestral wisdom with modern solutions. She is both a scientist and a guide, helping others step into a life where success, health, and fulfillment are natural outcomes of living in alignment with one’s true essence.
