A LITTLE ABOUT MY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
Thank you for taking the time to read a little more about me. People often ask me about how I became an Energy Healer, Spiritual Life-Coach, Artist & Author; so here is a little summary of my background and experience:
I was born in Dayton, OH and grew up in New Whiteland, IN. As far back as I can remember, I was Artistic, Spiritual, Intuitive and Empathic. On the opposing side of that, I was raised in a cult-like, religious environment that did not understand or support my gifts. At that time, I was taught about, and came to believe in, an angry and punishing God. I was subject to various forms of childhood abuse and finally ex-communicated from the church at age 19.
Just a few months after that I had a profound Spiritual Experience. I didn't understand it at the time, dismissing it, I went through some years of atheism and agnosticism. Eventually though, I found my way toward self-discovery, recovery and my own Spiritual Path.
In 1994, I studied and became certified as a Master Reiki Practitioner, while practicing Transcendental Meditation and earning my AA Degree in Fine Art. The next year, I worked at a health-food store and taught Guided Meditation Classes in Bowling Green, OH while attending the university there. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Health and Human Services with a focus in Art Therapy and Psychology. During my college years, I Traveled quite extensively through Europe and the United States learning about Art, various Cultures and Religions. Travel broadened my perspective on spirituality and Humanity at large.
In 2000, I settled in Charleston, SC, where I had a second profound Spiritual Experience. This time it opened my Metaphysical senses where I gained heightened Claircognizance (clear knowing), Clairvoyance (clear seeing), Clairaudience (clear hearing), and Clairsentience (clear feeling). I started having regular Conversations with God through Journaling, Dreams and a continuous Flow of spiritual experiences causing me to become a profound believer in God, Christ and the Spirit World. While this spiritual evolution was happening, my career took an unexpected turn into real estate and Corporate America; I gained experience working as a Vise President of Sales and Marketing for a Fortune 500 company.
In 2008, at the top of my corporate career, I had another calling that took me back to the creative and spiritual life. Leaving behind a big salary and title, I became involved in 12 Steps recovery work for myself and working with others. I wrote and published my First Book about overcoming spiritual abuse: What is Love? My Question...God's Answer. For the publishing of this book I was guided to change my last name to Michaels, after Archangel Michael. During that time I read and studied the Bible, The Dead Sea Scrolls, A Course in Miracles and Urantia.
In 2010, I was guided to camp with friends in Israel, where I had a third spiritual experience that took me even deeper into my love and passion for All that is holy, sacred and divine. Prior to that trip I had a very real dream explaining that I was in the Melchizedek Order, I had never heard that name before, but have since gained deep understanding of its meaning. From that time on, I was given the ability and desire to pursue a New Career Path that would allow me to help other people find their own Spiritual Connections.
In 2011, I became a Certified Health Coach and traveled extensively with the Worldwide Organization of Organic Farmers through New Zealand and Hawaii. In 2013 I returned to the Holy Land, escorting others, and became an Ordained Minister, while earning my Life-Coaching Certification and studying and making artwork around the Book of Mary Magdalene.
In 2014, I opened my private practice, Jennifer Michaels Studios, on a full-time basis, offering Energy Healing and Spiritual Life Coaching, teaching weekly group Meditation Classes and Workshops on Crystals and Angels and a variety of other spiritual topics. In 2015 I returned, a third time, to Israel to experience the Holy Fire event in Jerusalem first hand; a day when Holy Light miraculously comes out of Christ's Tomb. I received the Fire and then witnessed my friend, a Greek Orthodox Monk, become Trans-lucent right before my eyes! In 2016 I studied with world-renouned Brian Weiss at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, receiving a Past-Life Regression Certification and added this invaluable service to my menu of offerings.
In 2017, a friend invited me to attend a channeling session with, Abraham Hicks in Buckhead, GA. At this event I was called on stage and had the opportunity to ask "The Collective-of-Beings", known as Abraham, questions about the variety of "Angels and Aliens" I would commonly see and communicate with in my healing sessions. I received answers, and an experience of unconditional love, that changed my perspective on channeling. After this, my own Mediumship and Channeling abilities increased greatly, adding another element to my Sessions with clients.
In 2018, after enjoying the ocean and beaches in Charleston for 18 years, I received unexpected vision and direction from my Star-seed Family to go to Mount Shasta. It was a strong calling with many Synchronicities to confirm. Saying bittersweet good-byes, I sold everything and drove across the country to "The Mountain" and small town of Mt. Shasta, CA. In Shasta, I Channelled Letters from the Great Beyond, enhanced my skills in painting and continued Phone Sessions with Clients from the top of the mountain.
At the end of 2019, I moved to Santa Rosa Beach, FL., enjoying the White Quartz-Crystal Sand Beaches and healing Emerald Green Water, the perfect place to be as the world shut down. At the end of 2021 I found my way back home to Charleston, SC where I am delighted to offer Sessions with people from all over the world and all walks of life, including: spiritual, religious and non-religious backgrounds. I am more passionate than ever about exploring my own creativity; while helping others be present to fulfill their own unique Life-Callings.
