'Petrea King is one of those rare Australians who have changed the country for the better.' Richard Glover

As a child, Petrea King was dogged by health issues, spending months in hospital over many years. After leaving school, her desire to help others impelled her to become a nurse, then later to qualify as a naturopath, herbalist, homoeopath, yoga instructor and meditation teacher.

In her early thirties, Petrea was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and given little chance of surviving. She defied her dire prognosis and believes meditation and coming to terms with past traumas, including the suicide of her brother Brendan, were key to her recovery.

Motivated by her own experiences, Petrea founded the Quest for Life Foundation to support people suffering devastating physical and mental illnesses. Up Until Now is her inspirational tale of how she overcame her own challenges to dedicate her life to others.

'The wisdom Petrea imparts, and her compassion and sensitivity, have helped hundreds of thousands of people, providing them with hope in troubled times.' Tony Delroy
