The Founder
and The Philosophy
The Foundation
My name is Kenneth Pettersen, founder of Essentia by KenP—a growing universe bringing together personal well-being, meaningful travel and grounded living.
Essentia is shaped by the contrasts and connections in my own life: the clarity and groundedness of my Norwegian roots, and the warmth, creativity and spiritual openness I experience in my current home of São Paulo, Brazil.
Before founding Essentia, I spent more than 15 years working in service, communication, sales and leadership. I am currently completing a bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology and am a certified Reiki Level 3 practitioner in the Usui System of Natural Healing. My professional development is also supported through ongoing mentorship with a practitioner in integrative psychotherapy, offering valuable reflection and perspectives alongside my academic studies.
My own experiences of significant life changes, loss, illness and rebuilding have strengthened my respect for each person’s unique story. They influence how I meet others—with curiosity, compassion and without assuming that one answer fits everyone.
I believe meaningful change often begins when we are given enough space to pause, feel heard and explore our experiences from more than one perspective.
Essentia Trinity reflects the connection between mind, body and soul. My approach brings together attentive listening, reflection, psychological learning and spiritual practice—while respecting the boundaries between supportive services and licensed health care.
Through Trinity, I currently offer:
• Supportive online conversations
• Distance Reiki
• A free introductory call to explore whether the service feels right for you
Supportive conversations are adapted to what matters to you. Reiki is offered as a complementary spiritual practice supporting relaxation, stillness and personal well-being.
These services do not replace licensed medical or mental health care.
The Philosophy
Reiki
Find Your Inner Balance
I have recently stepped into the role of a certified Reiki 3 practitioner, and I am deeply passionate about supporting people on their path toward better flow, reduced stress, and deeper self-care.
Moving forward, I am also developing future Reiki courses for those who wish to learn and practice this healing method themselves.
Feel free to get in touch today to book your first session or for a brief chat about how we can work together.
Through my practice, I now offer tailored treatments:
In-Person Reiki
A peaceful session focusing on restoring balance to your body's energy centers.
Distance Reiki
Equally powerful and effective, available to you regardless of your geographic location.
