The Bloom Team

Dr. Mutamba (Moyo) is a therapist, mediator, and equity and conflict transformation facilitator committed to healing and justice. Rooted in Ubuntu—the belief that “I am because you are”—his work is guided by a deep respect for relationality, shared humanity, and the wisdom that emerges through collaboration, conflict, and repair.

With a PhD in Social Justice Education and extensive experience in equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) consulting, Moyo supports organizations and teams in building cultures of belonging through team training and leadership coaching in anti-racism, equity, and inclusion. To help sustain these cultures, he also works with teams to design restorative policies and conflict-resolution processes that are responsive and community-centered.

As a Qualified Mediator (Q.Med) and experienced conflict transformation coach, Moyo supports individuals and groups in moving through tension with curiosity, care, and clarity—whether in workplace disputes, leadership challenges, or deeply personal experiences of disconnection. His approach draws from clinical training in psychotherapy, a strong foundation in EDI work, and decades of community organizing. He weaves together insights from mental health, neuroscience, restorative justice, and trauma-informed care to help people understand the emotional roots of conflict and build the capacity to move through it with integrity.

In therapy and mediation, Moyo is known for his calm presence, generative questions, and skill in holding space for transformation. He offers both interpersonal and group restorative mediation. Grounded in restorative justice and Ubuntu, his mediations create space for participants to share their experiences fully, feel heard, strategize on repair, and co-create pathways to reduce future harm.

Moyo is also the co-founder of the Ubuntu Learning Village and the Ubuntu Free School in Zimbabwe, where he is committed to creating spaces for learning, cultural reclamation, and community-building. Through the Free School, he helps ensure that every child receives an education rooted in dignity and belonging, regardless of their circumstances. Learn more at ubuntuearth.org.

He also teaches at the University of Waterloo, where he lectures on social work, equity, and leadership. Outside of work, Moyo expresses his creativity as a mbira musician and storyteller, performing across Canada and the U.S., both solo and with his band Nhapitapi. Whether through music, conversation, or sharing meals from his kitchen, Moyo finds joy in creating spaces for connection.
