About me ~
I am a Certified Medium Intuitive, a Certified Reiki Master Teacher, a Certified Past Life Regression Therapist, and I am currently working on my doctrine in Parapsychic Science, Metaphysics. My Abilities include being a psychic medium which is the ability to speak to spirit that have crossed over, and the ability to intuitively tap into things empathically. I am clairvoyant, clairsentient, and clairaudient, the list goes on... (You will find definitions of some of the modalities on the "Healing & Intuitive Information" page.)
About my abilities ~
I specialize in readings that allow me to apply energy work and my intuitive abilities to communicate with spirit. I use several different divination tools; a pendulum to detect, determine and assist me in my sessions as well as doing readings with tarot, angel, oracle and totem cards for more general but detailed readings or if I need assistance from my guides. Every reading I do is different. I can feel energies (auras) around and within a person, and can immediately tell if someone is having a great or crummy day. I may get messages from someone in your life that has passed on and is trying to get a message to you, or I may get a message from my spirit guides or angels and maybe even an animal guide, giving me valuable information that I can pass along to you to assist you in your life and possibly the difficulties that directly affect your life.
I have found that most of what I do seems to focus on helping those who have lost a loved one (person or animal) and assisting with their intent to move forward in their healing process. My ultimate goal is to help people, it must be said that I do not heal you, I offer you guidance, support and information and in most cases help you to find closure for you and for the loved one's that have passed, sometimes there is unfinished business that spirit needs to resolve or that they just want to say hello and let you know that they are o.k. - something that you may need to know.
Everything on this earth, in this universe is energy, everything about each one of us is energy, I can help you align your energy centers so that it can flow freely, help you to re-align with your life's path, your souls journey.
I have personally had a Reiki session before I decided to become a Reiki Master Teacher, after one treatment I knew in that moment that I had to become a Reiki Master, I couldn't resist the pull ~ I knew that I had to be able to help and train others in what I had learned. My teacher did a session on me and while providing the service she began to mention to me things she saw, feelings, intuitive messages she received while providing me with my treatment. I knew that was what I needed to be doing. In fact, I was all ready doing just that, but without the focus and without really knowing it.
How it all Started
I started having visits from spirit when I was about 3 years old. I saw people, faces and heard messages. I knew things about people that I probably shouldn't have. It scared me to death and my parents, in fact when trying to explain to my parents some of the messages I received, things that I saw, they told me I had a "vivid imagination", so at about 5 years old when I started school I hid it and tried to forget about it. I knew I was different than my friends, and even most of my family members, until I took a class in metaphysics in high school. I enrolled in that class and have never looked back. I was about 14 years old at the time. The teacher I had was such a gift, she taught me that the glowing colorful things that I saw around people, these glowing lights that distracted me from my studies... (That I thought everyone saw) was a person's aura. She explained to me that what I was seeing was a gift from something higher and bigger and more brilliant than I was. She validated that the images of people that I saw were spirits and that what I saw was a blessing not a curse. She taught me the most important thing of all,,, breathing, and how breathing correctly can change your life! She even taught me to control my thoughts, my breathing and focusing on my third eye all at the same time. And by doing so, I was able to pass a professional real life Lie Detector Machine!!! Amazing! It was so much fun!
As I've gotten older I have developed an unquenchable thirst for any metaphysical modality that I can get my hands on, sorry, no pun intended. So, needless to say, I think I've read all most every spiritual, self-help (if spiritual based) and "Spell book" ever printed. I even have an old book of Visualizations by Shatki Gawain that I bought and used over twenty-five plus years ago that I still use today.
I decided about six years ago that I wanted to start working with clients hands on. I wanted to make a difference, I wanted to really help people.
2006 ~ The year of Change and Growth
So I went back to school again to follow my heart, I want to work with people and/or their animals that need healing assistance, alternative type services like helping with grief/bereavement issues, helping those needing closure with guidance and support from those loved ones that have passed; and with Reiki, helping to align a persons energies, the chi/prana energy that allows us to remain balanced and allows us to feel healthy as well as helping our furr-babies and their ailments.
Only since November of 2006, have I chosen to begin working with Reiki healing, combining mediumship and intuitive modalities in an actual session type service. I believe in focused healing, whether it be energy work or helping someone on their life's journey, it was time to "be me" and to live my truth and allow my own energies to flow freely and in align with my hearts desires. I let go of the fear of what others may think.
When I became a Certified Reiki Master Teacher, in October of 2007, the Universe took over, (which frequently happens with newly attuned Reiki Masters) and within a period of two to three months, the wheels were set in motion. My entire life changed. Wonderful things happened. After some resistance from me and harassment from the landlord of the place of my business, I decided to close my business as a spa owner and start working with people in a different way. Sometimes when we don't listen to our messages, from spirit or from our Angels, but we keep asking for the answers, our Guides and Angels figure out a way to make it happen for us, they will create a way for us to listen! So I decided to work on my self and work with those persons needing assistance, allowing me the opportunity to open up, follow my life's path and actually have open and useful conversations regarding spirit and other intuitive experiences with people, allowing me to give them what ever message they may need from their higher-self, angels and guides, or spirit.
Meeting my Mentor
I "got serious" about my gift and began my studies, in December of 2006, after a couple of strange angel guided interventions, and a weird night of watching nothing but paranormal shows on the Lifetime Channel, (Lisa Williams, Medium, had a show on TV called "Life Among the Dead") I contacted Lisa Williams, a very gifted Medium and Clairvoyant. I sent an email to her asking her if she would be willing to take me under her wing and teach me how to use my gifts. She emailed me back and told me that she was working on a training module and would get me started in a few weeks. It turns out that she is an incredible teacher and light worker, the most gifted medium/clairvoyant I have ever met, she took me under her wing and I began working under her guidance, taking the spiritual development course she developed enveloping all intuitive modalities. Simply put ~ Spiritual Development. It was as if she chose in that moment to give me a slice of her "intuitive pie", it was as if the roadblocks I had set up to protect myself when I was a child were lifted and replaced with my own gifts and abilities times ten. As if she gave me a piece of herself and her gift, I studied Mediumship, Psychic Awareness, Aura Reading, Crystal Healing, Pendulum Dowsing and Aura Healing. Things began to happen for me, and my abilities as a Medium began to flourish so quickly that it felt like a whirlwind of excitement everyday!
Since my graduating from Lisa W's course, I chose to continue my learning, I just can't seem to get enough. It's no longer about learning "How Do I Do It?" its about how I may use this in my life and in my assisting others to benefit them, myself and everything in the Universe! It's about healing and comforting those who have lost someone they love". It’s also about combining the information that I’m learning with the experiences, life’s lessons, and getting as much out of that as I can.
My life has been so different. I'm on my authentic path to my authentic self, doing what I know I am meant to do. And that is to assist others in their journey and to continue learning, loving my family and friends and just being the best spirit that I can be. Since I made this commitment to myself, everything else in my life has willfully and easily opened up and moved to the side to allow me the chance to pursue what ever it is that I truly want to be doing. I have recently become an Ordained Minister and am now working on my doctrine in Holistic Science/Metaphysical Science.
Thank you so much for taking your time to learn about me and what I do, and I would like to take this time to wish you all light, love and may you find bright blessings in all that you choose to do. Namaste!
What's your gift?
Everyone has the ability to be intuitive, some are more in tune than others, the analogy I use is the one I learned from Lisa W., it is like a person who tunes into their favorite radio station, everyone can sing along to that song, some better than others. Many people have the gift of being a natural healer ~ You might say that you can recall moments in your life of doing this yourself, feeling the need to touch someone on the shoulder, or maybe even feel someone's fear or pain and suffering as your standing next to them, but can't understand why all of the sudden you feel as though someone sunk your ship! Maybe your the person all of your friends call to pour their wounded hearts on to, Your heart hurts, there's a lump in your throat and you're on the verge of tears, when two minutes ago you felt on top of the world! Some people are natural gifted healers; you may be one of those people. Some people just "get it". The trick is learning how to use those gifts so that you can remain balanced and help those around you do the same.

Reiki for Animals too
You may also be connected with the animal energies in your home or property, your horse, dog or cat? They too have chakras and are receptive to Reiki healing, as their spirits and energy are so pure, they are not complicated with all the stuff that we humans are. Does your dog sit at the front door 5 minutes before you even drive up the driveway (mine does), do they tend to want to sit next to you or on top of you when you’re crying or having a crummy day? They are in tuned to energy in the most pure ways. Haven’t we all heard the story about the dog that saved his owner from a fire or disaster, or the horse that knew it's rider had cancer before the rider knew, she was bucked off the horse, and when she went to the doctor to receive treatment from the injury instigated by the horse, this person discovers that they have cancer, and if it weren't for the horse being uncomfortable with this rider on his back, and booting him off, he saved her life. The cancer was caught in time, and saved her life.
Well, if you feel your animal can benefit, please feel free to contact me for more information or to schedule an appointment. Contact Micha'ele
All children have the gift of being psychic
Children,,, yes, children. Children are born psychic, I know mine are! They tend to forget or hide their abilities as they get older because the other kids tease, or mom and dad say "You're being silly, you're seeing things". So they "forget". I know this because it happened to me. Most children become “veiled" from their abilities by the time they are five or six, usually the time school starts for them. If you can, support them for their unique gifts and talents!
What's Your Truth?
Regardless of what drives you, know that if you are making your decisions based on your heart, and your truth, you are on the right path. Don't ever ever ever doubt your gut feelings, your instincts, if followed truly, will bring you happiness, romance, love, money, you name it! Live your authentic life.
My thoughts on Reiki Masters and Choosing one for you.....
I do think that there are true Reiki healers, and then there are people out there that just want your money. My best advice is to look and ask around in your area or you may be willing to travel,,,what ever works for you, trust your heart. Trust your gut! Trust Your intuition!
Just to be aware of ~~~~
The hardest lesson I've struggled with is this, there are people in this world who understand what it means to care about there fellow mankind ~ BUT there are also people who think Mediumship and Reiki Energy healing is “Foo-Foo”. But know this, if your heart is directing you, and gut tells you “Yes!” Listen to yourself, you heart, your gut, in will never guide you the wrong way!
With any life lesson, you learn you can't please everyone, and you can't make everyone like you, or understand you ,,,with the Intuitive stuff and the Reiki you have to trust yourself, trust that voice that tells you who you can share it with and who you should probably just avoid. There are many folks out there who have the ability to do healing with their hands and are not Reiki Masters and I also know of many Nurses and Doctors in the medical field that have become Reiki Masters to assist them in there healing practice. Reiki is a versatile thing that anyone can use, anyone can do it!
Blessings to you on your journey, may your path be filled with
~ Hugs, Light & Love and Laughter,
