Maria Tjader

Hello my name is Maria Tjader and I am 39 years old. I live with my daughter, partner and his daughter by the sea in South of England, UK. My own healing journey began when I finished school, left Sweden to explore a new life, and intensified when I had an early middle life crises 13 years ago. As a young adult I felt lost and didn’t know who I was. I felt disempowered by life and without roots, it sparked my journey of self-discovery. It’s been an incredible adventure, with a fair amount of difficulties, creating more aliveness, finding my own love story and myth. I was once a socially awkward girl, lost and confused about life. I grew up in a loving family but still didn’t feel like I fit in or had a place of belonging. I didn’t have many consistent friends that I felt deep connection with, kept attracting unhealthy dynamics with men, had low self-esteem and self-worth. I was adopted from South Korea to Sweden at the age of 1,5. At that time I experienced separation 3 times which meant that I found it hard to trust and allow myself to create healthy attachment to my Swedish parents and anyone else for many years. I wasn’t aware of this until the last couple of years after nearly 13 years of private therapy sessions, workshops, courses and shamanic ceremonies.
