Teresa Lally

Board Member

Teresa joined the Hope Floats family in 2010. A Master of Acupuncture, she maintained a private practice here for many years before retiring. In 2014, she unexpectedly lost her son, Michael, and came to understand that she had been led to this wonderful place of healing not just to help others, but to be supported herself in her grief journey.

Teresa has co-facilitated various support groups for other moms and parents who have lost children over the years and volunteers at other events, especially enjoying playing her harp at the different retreats held throughout the year.

An avid animal lover, she also volunteers with a local dog rescue that works to place abandoned dogs from the south to forever homes in the Massachusetts area. She and her husband continue to honor their son with an annual motorcycle ride that raises funds for scholarships and charitable donations in his memory.

Her free time is spent reading, writing, traveling, walking her three rescue dogs and spending time with her new granddaughter.
