Terese reigns from Minnesota and moved to North Carolina 18 years ago. Back in 1986 she endured a severe spinal cord injury. Terese was a dancer and it was there she came alive. After being struck during a dance rehearsal; her life forever changed. Terese went the conventional medicine route as we are “programmed” to do. As a result of never dealing with her physically they dealt with her symptomatically. Terese got worse. Much worse. For instance, she developed chronic migraine headaches, so they put her on Inderal, a heart medication. She was told that by bringing more blood to the brain the headaches would go away. This was from top medical professionals from a prestigious institute. Needless to say, the domino effect of her health spiraled out of control.

These are what she lived with:

• Chronic Migraine Headaches *Dizziness/Falling
• Loss all sensation on upper right side of body *Tunnel Blindness
• Weight Gain (with bouts of bulimia and anorexia) *Anxiety & Depression
• Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue
• Shingles
• Asthma/Allergies
• Hair Loss
• Bouts of Costochondritis
• 6 car accidents (none were her fault) *Loss of self worth
• Double bunion surgery

To top it off she was told by countless doctors and professionals that she’d never do more than walk again and couldn’t carry anything more than a pound for quite some time. Needless to say, her health plummeted. She just wanted to be “normal” again. Terese would get ridiculed by countless people because when you “look” ok on the outside therefore you’re fine. Due to all the drugs put into her body at such a young age, including 10 rounds of cervical spinal cord steroid injections, she was told she’d have pocked skin, discolored skin, never carry children to full term, let alone possible birth defects, and never dance again. She was speechless. But like life, she accepted it as it was, and went through it in pain and a smile on her face. Thank God she had a strong faith and a Mother that wouldn’t give up. Her Mom found a holistic route. Keep in mind, back then they were looked at like they had 3 heads; Terese had improvements. She kept up with many holistic alternatives. Perusing what worked and what her body needed at that time. Managing to complete 4 years at the University of Minnesota she graduated and still felt misunderstood and frustrated. She looks back now and realizes she lost herself during this whole process. Terese gave up and gave in to not being true to herself. She sadly endured 2 divorces, lost her father during the 2nd one, but was blessed with 2 perfectly healthy and happy children. Her eyes light when she speaks about them. Her faith and her children are what kept her going. And still do to this day.

One day she walked into a NIA class, her best friend from high school was the instructor. Terese did not know her life was about to change…….. again. Recovering from her 4th car accident 3 weeks earlier, Terese couldn’t move much. There was every level of fitness in this class. She was told to move her body’s way. Once you felt pain. Stop. Go one level below. Terese noticed there were so many levels of people in the class, she SO wanted to dance again but couldn?t, so she honed into herself and listened to her body. After class, for first the time in 21 years…. NO pain. Next day. NO pain. Allow. NIA heals. This is where Terese’s journey to healing began. It opened up a door in her mind to a new way people can heal. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This road gave her new avenues to go down.

Terese is now:

• Pain FREE
• Drug FREE
• Started her own company MIT Health *Licensed Bio-feedback Specialist *Spiritual Life Coach/ Energy work *Blue Belt NIA Instructor
• Radio show with Voice America airing soon……
• Writer and Speaker
• CD on helping people with Sleep Deprivation (soon to be released fall of 2011) and a DVD series on Healing and Guided Mediation. A 3 part series releasing in 2012. *Mother of 2 teenagers and 3 dogs
• Dancing Through LIFE

Terese recognized it’s “Time for a new Paradigm”. Our thoughts do make a difference with our healing. Positive attracts positive. We need to heal all parts: mind, body, and spirit; all at the same time. We may not understand what we are going through at that moment let alone why. Trust the Divine. He has a plan for you. With positive thoughts she turned her pain into gain. Being lost and confused into rediscovering Terese. And there she found her passion. Terese realized that by sharing her story, and doing what she does, people can heal. She is helping people in the most stunning ways. A student after class one day came up to her and said, “Thank you. You are HOPE.”

Heart to Heart, Terese
