About Teresa Jacobi

I grew up in Vienna in a household shaped by music, academia, and conservative Catholicism – a potent mix that taught discipline, beauty, and reverence, while leaving many questions unanswered.

Over the years, I worked across many fields: social work, counselling, teaching, the arts, and communications. I learned how people survive, how they adapt, and how often they disappear from their own lives while appearing functional on the outside.

In 2023, after a Covid infection, I developed severe ME/CFS. Within months, my life collapsed into stillness.

What followed was not only physical illness, but a profound spiritual reckoning. Everything I had believed about strength, worth, control, and faith was stripped away. What remained was a quiet encounter with love – uncompromising, unearned, and utterly transformative.

While my physical healing continues, something essential was restored: the knowledge that life itself is not something to master, but something to receive.

I write and speak from that place now.

This work is not about answers.
It is about accompaniment.
