From the brink of losing her mobility and asking for a more kind and gentler way!

Today’s post is the miraculous story of Terri Britt, Former Miss USA 1982, TEDx & Inspirational Speaker, Bestselling Author, and Founder of Women Leaders of Love”. It was Terri’s journey that quite frankly, gave me so much inspiration and hope! When I was completely on my own to research of the extradural sectioning for Chiari Brain Malformation at the Institut Chiari & Siringomielia & Escoliosis de Barcelona (ICSEB) in Spain, I found Terri’s testimonial from her website and read all the details of her debilitating symptoms which were very similar to my own experiences and how she was able to heal and gain her functionalities back post filum sectioning. Since her procedure in 2012, Terri Britt has not only been thriving! She has been a force of nature, doing TEDx talks, leading a spiritual coaching practice, writing best selling books and actively engaging in physical activities such as water aerobics and dance to spending time with her grandchildren, her life is just so full! Big thanks to Terri for recording this video of how she came upon the Institute and how she is doing since her sectioning in 2012!
