Julia (M.Sc. Psych.)

Julia is a psychologist and systemic counsellor. Her intuition, empathy and sensitivity allow her to deeply connect and see her clients with all their suffering, but also all their potential. With many years of experience in 1:1 and group therapy, Julia will help you not only understand your limiting beliefs and patterns, but also guide you towards meaningful and lasting change. Julia’s approach is trauma-informed and holistic, always looking at the interplay of body, mind and soul. 


Together with Kari, she has developed the therapeutic model behind the psychedelics-assisted therapy offered at Lucid's psychedelic retreats, which is based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 


Before finding her true calling and founding Lucid Retreats, Julia had a successful career in management consulting, founded a mental health startup, and lived and worked all over the world. She also continues to offer online coaching and therapy.

Kari (MPH)

With a background in health sciences and psychology, Kari has been working in the health and wellness space for 13 years. Initially research focused, she soon after founded companies within the health space in Asia, Europe, and North America. Due to her inter-disciplinary background within health, she focuses on the bio-psycho-social model of health, taking a very holistic perspective to healing. 

Working with her "head" and her "hands" for many years, she balances the addition of being able to work with her "heart" through this work. Fusing her lived experiences, intuition, and empathy with knowledge of the body and mind as a whole, Kari focuses on somatic practices, the nervous system, and emotions within the body. 

 

Kari has spent time in Dharamsala where she attended HH The Dalai Lama's Teachings. She has also received lineage teachings based on Mahamudra & Dzogchen traditions. Her lifetime experience in Hindu and Buddhist philosophies and practices allows her to integrate spiritual experiences of consciousness within a grounded real-world approach, bringing together science and spirituality.
