Hi, I’m Theresa.

I’m a facilitator and community builder supporting projects that work toward better futures for all. My work blends strategic communication, event design, and group facilitation, grounded in a deep sensitivity to people and social dynamics. Since 2023 I’m also a mom and offer circles for mothers.

Whether you're bringing a project to life, building community or navigating change —I’m here to help you create spaces and stories that support collective well-being and shared purpose.

Comms & Project Support

I offer flexible, hands-on support that helps you to move forward with clarity, care, and momentum.

By blending strategic communication with a community-building mindset, I help you engage your collaborators, amplify your message, and build the trust and alignment that supports meaningful impact — from the inside out.

Online Event Support

I help you to plan and host online events that feel human, connective, and well-held.

Whether it’s a workshop, community call, panel, or multi-day gathering, I can take care of both the logistics and the facilitation—or just one of them, depending on what you need.

Healthy Human Culture

I’m part of a team teaching and evolving Healthy Human Culture (HHC), a framework that bridges the understanding of individual nervous system patterns with the dynamics we experience in groups.

It offers powerful insight and supports meaningful shifts toward relationships, organizations, and communities where everyone can thrive.

What past collaborators say

It was such a joy to work with Theresa. She is professional, well organised and fun to work with. She embodies a way of working and being and instills this culture in everything she does in a very inspiring way. She has this rare ability to be able to make complex things accessible in her writing.

Leila Hoballah, Forum for the Future
Working with Theresa has been a delight! She has been central to organising two large and complex online events, handling a really wide range of different kinds of work and some very challenging organisational dynamics with a massive amount of flexibility and grace. She has a rare combination of rock solid administrative skills, dynamic creative thinking and deep ability to connect and empathise.

Eva Schonveld, Grassroots2Global
Theresa seamlessly supported our team in a variety of agendas. She developed and applied her own strategies showing her strong capacity to coordinate and implement her work autonomously. At the same time she proved to be an excellent team player and provided highly valuable inputs and support for the whole team. She also demonstrated high cultural sensitivity and quickly adapted to new work environments.

Monthly Moms Circles

Monthly in TriCity / Poland
Motherhood is a wild ride, especially if are you an international mom, sometimes finding yourself away from your culture, language, family and friends. Together we continue the age-old tradition of women’s circles.
You don’t have to do it alone.

Tell me about the next one
Online Moms Circle

TBA
I believe motherhood hits differently for those of us in international relationships, living abroad or in multiple countries, or back in our home country but missing the international connections.
This is a space to talk motherhood, home, cultures, languages and futures.
