For nearly four decades, Therese’s work has lived at the intersection of human biology, consciousness, leadership, and cultural transformation. Drawing from Yogic and Qi Gong traditions, therapeutic bodywork, breathwork, relational awareness, ceremony, and cyclical wisdom, Therese helps people remember that the body is our oldest teacher and most intimate companion.

Her work to reclaim female biology and to help women activate the capacities their cycle engenders is seminal to all her offerings. Through this work, including her TEDx talk, she brings both profound and logical insight into how menstruation, birth, and menopause are linked to the larger rhythms of creation, dissolution, and renewal — rhythms vital to sustainability and the evolution of human beings and social systems.

She brings warmth, humor, grounded wisdom, and decades of lived experience to conversations that integrate intellectual understanding into embodied knowing, returning listeners to the intelligence of the body, our interdependence with one another and the living Earth, and fresh perspectives that continue to unfold long after the conversation ends.

WHAT THERESE TALKS ABOUT

Therese has given hundreds of talks to audiences across disciplines. A seasoned teacher fluent in today’s conversations on whole health and human potential, she is especially drawn to a topic that rarely enters public discourse: the womb as our first home, and what it teaches us about relationship, resilience, and what it means to be fully human. Signature topics include:

• Reclaiming the Wisdom of Female Biology — What menstruation, birth, menopause, and the womb reveal about creativity, leadership, healing, and transformation — and why this wisdom matters far beyond women’s health.

• The Body as a Portal of Awakening — How to listen to the body as a source of intelligence rather than something to control, fix, or transcend.

• Living in Cyclical Time & the Need to Resurrect Death — What the body and Earth can teach us about rest, timing, uncertainty, endings, emergence, and renewal in a culture shaped by linearity, productivity, and efficiency.

• Tap In: Coherence Changes the Field — How our inner state shapes the way we communicate, lead, create, relate, and influence the spaces and people around us.

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS TO EXPLORE

• What if the human body is the premier technology — our oldest and wisest teacher?

• How is the restoration of the female body interdependent with the restoration of our social systems and the earth?

• How is womb wisdom our first experience of relationship, offering a ‘map’ to change, the unchanging, and sustainability?

• How is the female fertility cycle — from menstruation through menopause — a path of initiation, with menopause embodying the true coming-of-age?

• What is cyclical intelligence, and how does it shape all of our lives?

• How is the repression of menstrual blood connected to the blood of war?

• Why is the ability to stay present with discomfort one of the most important capacities of our time — and can endings, uncertainty, and dissolution be reclaimed as part of a generative process?

• Why has female biology been treated as a problem rather than one of the greatest resources for all human beings?

• How are today’s personal and societal challenges symptoms of a deeper imbalance, rather than isolated problems to solve?

• What does embodied coherent leadership look like?

• What if the future depends less on acquiring new information and more on reclaiming forgotten forms of wisdom?
