Together, as Antaras- Julia Stadler, Psychotherapist, and Maya, Medicine Woman and Shaman- have been working at the meeting point of psyche and spirit through ceremonial retreats with expanded consciousness. What they have witnessed again and again is how the poles of shamanism and therapy, when held in dialogue, reveal something greater than either alone. They have since opened their collaboration to the creation of this gathering space, for those seeking integration and a deepening on the path of self-exploration.
Julia Maria Stadler- Psychotherapist
Julia is a psychotherapist working in private practice with clients both local to London and internationally. Formally trained at Oxford University, she cites her own (ongoing) journey into her mental, emotional, spiritual, physical & energetic Self as her greatest teacher and guide to integrating multiple modalities and creating an adaptable language that will be most helpful to her clients and others.
She is passionate about leading her clients back home to themselves, exploring where they are unconsciously restricted by internal narratives, playing out harmful attachment patterns and abandoning their intuition. Because of her own experiences, Julia is particularly interested in the topic of womb health and birth and its correlation with overall consciousness.
She is passionate about bringing the intuitive and mystical, as well as breathwork and combining her professional therapeutic skills to prepare, contain and help integrate her clients experiences. She believes there are many portals to healing & wholeness and feels tremendously lucky to be able to help others discover their unique path.
Who we are
Maya Abou Chedid - Medicine Woman & Shamanic Healer
With studies in biological sciences and extensive work in clinical research, Maya was led by eastern traditions and practices to study, learn and practice therapeutic modalities and alternative approaches in her life and with others.
She spent several years in the Amazon jungle healing, training with tree dietas and traditional shamanic ceremonies with master plants in which she helped, assisted and was inspired by hundreds in their healing and growth.
Her 15 years alternative and medicine journey continues with guiding shamanic ceremonies on a regular basis (one on one and small groups) as well as preparation and integration sessions where she combines her scientific curiosity with spirituality which became an integral part in her way of being and living.
