ABOUT ME
Thank you for taking the time to read a little more about me. People often wonder how I became an Energy-Healer, Spiritual Life-Coach and Regression Therapist; 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 have been artistic, spiritual, intuitive and a life-long empath. On the opposing side of that, I was raised in a cult-like, religious environment that didn't support my gifts. I was taught about, and came to believe in, an angry and punishing God. In that setting, 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 my first 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 back toward self-discovery, recovery and a spiritual path.
In 1994 I studied and became certified as a Reiki III practitioner and learned and practiced transcendental meditation. At the same time I received my AA Degree in Fine Art and later taught meditation classes in Bowling Green, OH while attending the university. 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 had 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. At the time this spiritual evolution was happening, my career took a turn into real estate and corporate America where I gained experience working as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for a Fortune 500 company.
In 2008, at the top of my career, I had a Calling that lead me back to the creative and spiritual. Leaving behind a big salary and title, I became involved in 12 step 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 my book I was guided to change my last name to Michaels, (after the Arch Angel), I have read and studied the Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, A Course in Miracles and Urantia. I was also guided to camp across the Holy Land of Israel, where a third profound spiritual experience took me even deeper into my love and passion for all that is Holy, Sacred and Divine. I have since been given the ability and desire to pursue a career path that allows me to help other people find their own spiritual connections.
In 2011 I became a certified Health Coach and traveled with the Worldwide Organization of Organic Farmers through New Zealand and HI. In 2013 I returned to Israel, escorting others to have their own spiritual experiences. I also become an Ordained Minister with the Universal Life Church Monastery and earned my Life-Coaching and Past-Life Regression Certifications.
Today the God I know is no longer angry and punishing, rather: kind, compassionate, gentle and loving toward all. I still work and live in Charleston, SC. My studio is in the heart of Mt. Pleasant where I paint, write, see clients and teach classes. I work with people from all walks of life: spiritual, religious and non-religious backgrounds. I am especially passionate about helping others recover from religious and /or spiritual abuses, heal their lives, achieve higher creativity and fulfill their life callings.
