ABOUT ME
Thank you for taking the time to read a little more about me. People often ask me about being an artist, poet and author who offers Energy-Healing & Spiritual Life-Coaching; so here is a quick 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. 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 across the Holy Land of Israel, where I had a third profound spiritual experience that took me even deeper into my love and passion for All that is holy, sacred and divine. Right before the trip I had a profound dream that told me 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 with the Universal Life Church Monastery, while earning my Life-Coaching Certification and studying and making artwork all 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 with Joy 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 the invaluable service to my menu of offerings.
In 2017 a friend invited me to attend a channeling session with high-vibe, 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 a beautiful new element to my private sessions.
I lived and worked in Charleston, SC through June of 2018; enjoying the ocean and beaches for 18 years. Then, this spring, I received an unexpected vision and direction from my Blue Arcturian Family to go to Mount Shasta. It was a strong calling with many Synchronicities to confirm. With bittersweet good-byes, I sold everything and drove my 16 year old car, Sweet Lily, across the country to "The Mountain" and small town of Mt. Shasta, CA. Be-ing here, it seems I will continue with my Spiritual Paintings, Channelled Writings, seeing Clients and, well, who knows what else?! I'm looking forward to getting to know my new home and community of people, star-people, nature, trees, rocks, springs, plants and animals. I go up the mountain most mornings to meditate. I feel at home here. There is a unique and special Vortex of Energy that may take well over a life-time to understand.
I am delighted to offer phone 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 heal, be present and fulfill their own unique Life-Callings. Please take your time with my website: read my Blog, purchase my Artwork, Books, Shop or schedule your own Individual Sessions.
Thank You Very Much for reading my little bio. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. Many, many Blessings to you always!

Jennifer
