Hi, I’m Paula.

I am an HR & Conflict Resolution Professional, AI Governance & Ethics Consultant, and Life & Mental Health Coach, and the founder of Paula Teresa Coaching & Consulting.

I served as a public servant with the federal government for over 15 years. My experience there includes labour relations, leadership, training, and conflict resolution, among other areas. That foundation still shapes the way I serve today: with fairness, with care for the people involved, and with a clear plan for moving forward.

My work has three separate streams.

For women, I offer faith-based coaching for those who are ready to heal, discover who they are in Christ, and walk boldly in their God-given calling. This is intentional inner work, rooted in biblical truth and practical strategy, designed for real change and not surface-level motivation.

For organizations, including the public sector, I provide HR consulting in labour relations and conflict management, and AI consulting focused on ethics, governance, and auditing. As more organizations bring AI into how they hire and make decisions, I help them keep people at the centre of those decisions.

Whether I am walking with a woman through a season of transition or supporting an organization through change, I bring clarity, compassion, and strategy to every space I serve.
