Terri Amos is a spiritual coach who tells it like she sees it and wastes no time helping others clean up the emotional chaos in their lives. She is also a compassionate intuitive healer, wife, mom, former Miss USA and television host, and the author of Message Sent: Retrieving the Gift of Love. Terri specializes in relationship healing and improvement, dealing with such pivotal issues as anger, judgment, frustration and blame. Her work brings understanding and healing to all relationships including your family, friendships, the workplace and most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself. Representing the state of Arkansas, Terri won the title of Miss USA in 1982. Then, after studying journalism, she went on to become a writer and field producer for a west coast news station and eventually became a spokeswoman for Mazda.It was at that time that a new entertainment channel, Movietime, ( now known as the E! Channel ) was just taking hold in Los Angeles. Soon, Terri was chosen as their flagship news anchor, conducting celebrity interviews and covering such prestigious events as the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards.Feeling the need to be with her family, Terri left the entertainment industry to be a fulltime mother. But it was her father's illness and his ultimate death that became the catalysts for massive changes in her life, career and future."I was the son he never had," Terri explains, "and as I watched him unravel, first emotionally, and then physically, I recognized the parts of him that had become parts of me."Realizing that she had serious anger issues, Terri vowed to undo the behaviors that were affecting her role as a wife and mother. Finding herself without the tools to understand or manage her behavior, she put herself on a no-going-back program of traditional therapy, which led her to a journey of inner excavation and spiritual seeking.Terri found her passion when she began to study energetic healing, meditation, and spiritual consulting at Clearsight, a clairvoyant school in Santa Monica, CA, and then completed their graduate and ministerial programs.During this time of intensive and determined self-work, Terri and her family began to experience a powerfully positive shift in their lives, relationships and family harmony. Buoyed by her emotional growth and encouraged by her family and peers, Terri became a spiritual consultant and coach, and eventually, an author and a teacher.It was on her path to self-discovery, self-acceptance, and true authenticity that Terri was guided through meditation to share the knowledge she was experiencing first hand in a unique journal that is spiritual, practical, revelatory and prescriptive. Titled, Message Sent, the book chronicles her day-to-day journey of challenges and healing with love, candor and humor. In addition, she offers the reader the benefit of her insight and inspirations and shares the tools she found helpful to herself.A nurturing and accomplished speaker, Terri shares her message with audiences in a warm, loving and entertaining fashion, with quick wit, a ready smile and a genuine hug or pat on the back for everyone in the room.Terri is truly authentic, a quality she had to work hard to retrieve in all aspects of her life, but nonetheless, one that began revealing itself as her trademark early on...

(Flashback - Miss USA Competition, top 12 question)EmceeSo what do you do in Cabot, Arkansas, on a Saturday night?TerriIn the summer, we cruise up and down Main Street. Then we go to the Tastee Freeze, sit on the back of my friend's pickup truck, he plays the banjo, and we drink a little beer and dip a little Skoal. It's a real good time.
Terri won with a true and authentic response. It was her desire for complete authenticity that she finally released her anger and found freedom within herself. And as a result, she won back her family. Now, she has a career in the spiritual and self-help arena, helping and coaching others to retrieve their own winning spirits."Authenticity = Freedom," so says Terri Amos. "I am free because I found me!"
