Teresa Adams

I am the co-owner of Thriving Beyond Boundaries, an organization born from many meaningful conversations between Bao Bai and I centered around one question: how can we make the world a better place? At the heart of my work is a deep belief that children are the most important people in the world. I am passionate about being a steward and protector for kids, and I pour my heart and soul into creating spaces where they can experience healthy examples, hope, and inspiration for a brighter future.

In my role, I focus on building and growing a diverse community of children, families, social services, and providers. I serve as the bridge that connects these vital pieces, ensuring collaboration and support across all areas. I also mentor and guide our providers, maintain strong relationships with county partners, and contribute to the daily operations that keep our organization thriving.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, exploring art and music, and spending quality time with my family. I am passionate about dance, moving my body, and continually deepening my knowledge through the study of yoga and Ayurveda. I also have a deep love for nature and find joy in the simple things in life.

I believe in a better world, and it’s one of my passions to help create that. I am driven by the work I do—it’s not just a job, it’s a way of life, and a prayer and hope for brighter days for all children and humanity.
