Celebrity medium Tyler Henry is offering a major update following brain surgery.
“Brain surgery was a success! Great prognosis, incredible staff, and I feel so thankful to be surrounded by my family,” Henry, 29, shared in an Instagram caption on Wednesday, May 14. “I’ll be on bedrest for a month and look forward to getting back to doing readings.”
He added, “For those of you who connect with me virtually, not much should change as far as private reading giveaways and group readings, right now I’m just on the mend. For those curious, I had a colloid tumor near the center of my brain and thankfully most of it has been removed!”
Henry joked that “the tumor, not my brain” was removed, signaling that he was in good spirits.

“This isn’t my first rodeo with this, and I have so much to be thankful for — I’ll see ya’ll very soon with lots of thought-provoking subjects and of course, readings,” his caption concluded. “Thank you all so much for your support.”
The caption was accompanied by a photo of Henry smiling while lying in a hospital bed, with a bandage on his forehead.
A colloid tumor is benign and often asymptomatic but can cause issues if they grow large enough to block the flow of spinal fluid and in severe cases can create increased intracranial pressure, according to the Barrow Neurological Institute.
Henry has previously undergone brain surgery, as revealed in a 2023 Instagram post. At the time, he shared a throwback photo that was taken just after Henry’s 18th birthday.

“Only a week later an MRI revealed a congenital brain cyst that lead to emergency surgery after weeks of headaches. A mass I was born with was only now causing a life-threatening situation as my adult life was just beginning,” Henry recalled, in part. “This experience taught me early on the importance of timing and trust. Without the inevitable brain surgery that ensued, I don’t think I would of had such a firsthand awareness of the fragility of life. It was an intimate reminder for me of the fine line dividing this realm and the next.”
Henry’s most recent health scare came just after the Life After Death With Tyler Henry star announced that he and Clint Godwin had tied the knot.
“Today, we are married! Life with you is an endless sleepover with my best friend and life’s just getting started,” Henry announced via Instagram on May 7. “I knew when we met nearly a decade ago that you would be the one, and that conviction only grew stronger with every day. Best premonition ever!”
