Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle Carter.
Hi Michelle, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My journey has been one of self-discovery and self-acceptance. The discovery and acceptance has led me to an amazing place in which I am now fulfilling my life’s purpose and feeding my soul while helping others. It is a story of two aspects of me that came together or collided to ultimately help others move forward in their own journeys.
All of my life since I was a little girl, I have experienced unexplainable events. Such as: seeing events before they happened, knowing information about people that I shouldn’t know, having lights turn on and off for me as I would enter or leave a room. Having a candle begin flickering on its own to those of us looking at it but it wasn’t really burning. Feeling uncomfortable in some places when I would enter knowing that I needed leave. Always feeling different from everyone else and never feeling like I fit in anywhere. In my early 40’s, the activity picked up and became more intense impacting not just me but my husband and kids. I could no longer ignore what was happening. I needed to seek answers.
In my discovery, I learned that I am an intuitive empath who has psychic, mediumship, clairvoyant (psychic sight), clairaudient (psychic hearing) and clairsentient (feeling/sensing) abilities. To fully understand it all and ensure that I was being safe and ethical I became trained and certified in Psychic Development and Mediumship through the Anastasi System of Psychic Development.
During this self-discovery, I learned I was in the School of Service and my life’s purpose was to help others. This made so much sense to me because I was always overextending myself volunteering for everything believing that I was helping everyone but I was never feeling fulfilled and continually took on more and more seeking that fulfillment.
Over the last eight years both aspects of me have come together serving as an Intuitive Counselor & Life Coach to those looking to heal from traumas, loss, looking to release fear, discovering their life purpose, growing spiritually, gaining clarity, seeking direction to help them move forward in life and no longer feeling stuck to name a few. Ultimately, I am living my life’s purpose and strive to help others to be able to do the same.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
This new journey for me was filled with uncertainty, doubt and fear and it came with many struggles.
1. Accepting who I was – Was I really going to admit and declare that I was a Psychic Medium, an Intuitive Counselor or Intuitive Life Coach? What would people think? What would they say? Am I opening myself up to being judged? I am already very sensitive to people’s energy and emotion. Do I really want to subject myself to potential negativity?
This struggle took well over a year for me to become comfortable with who I was and am. I ultimately came out of the psychic closet, as I like to call it, and today I own who I am. Hi my name is Michelle Carter and I am an Intuitive Counselor and Life Coach. The more clients I saw, the more comfortable I became in my skin and owning who I was. I was no longer reluctant to share what I did. Today I am proud of the abilities I have been given and blessed to be trusted to share them with others to help them move forward in their life’s journey.
2. I was raised Catholic – How does that play into this new space I am in. Is there a conflict? Am I going against my faith? Well shoot, what is my faith now? Will my family feel I am going against my faith? A lot of fear was felt here as I worked to resolve my beliefs. This is a struggle that I have worked to resolve to the best of my ability. Not all of my family is supportive as they do believe I have gone against my faith. However, for me I know that there is a creator, source, a God, or whatever name anyone wants to place on it. I do not feel I have gone against my faith as I see my abilities as gifts that were given to me to help others. I did not ask for them, they were bestowed upon me when I was just a child. I choose to pray to God, the ArchAngels, Spirit Guides, Guardian Angels, etc. asking for their love, guidance and support before I meet with any client and I truly believe they guide me through each client session.
3. How would I even begin to help people? How would they know to come to me? Am I really willing to put myself out there to give guidance when I am pulling information out of thin air? Why would anyone want to trust me? I truly believe the Universe helped with this struggle. A complete stranger came to my door one day, unsure how he knew to come to me but he was here looking for guidance. Scared out of my mind, I let him in and did my best. He left indicating he got exactly what he needed that day and since that time, I have had client after client coming to me. They have all been referrals. Over the last eight years, I have learned to trust the information I am receiving, the guidance I am giving and truly trust the process.
4. Valuing myself enough to charge – I gave more of my time away initially than I did requesting payment because I had to respect and value myself enough to understand that my time and energy – my work – does have a value. Over time my client count was growing and I was receiving more and more positive feedback, successes, etc. I began to see the value in what I was doing and the people that were being helped. This was a struggle that simply took me time to work through. The more positive feedback I received the easier it became to find my value. Today I am proud of who I am and what services I can offer.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I am an Intuitive Counselor and Life Coach focused on providing my clients with the messages and information they need to heal, to feel empowered to make change in their lives, forgive past hurts, understand how they got where they are today and so much more.
Before a session begins with a client, I begin writing down all the information I am receiving. This typically provides me a picture of where the client is in that moment of time. When the session begins, I start by providing them with the information I have received and I look for the client to validate. Once confirming their current state, we will have to go backwards in time to understand aspects in your life that led you to where you are today and actions to take to resolve and move forward. I am also shown what the future can hold for you if you do the work. In essence, it is a life review to help you release the past and provide you guidance on how to lead your life going forward. These sessions also focus on empowering you to come into your own power, aligning your thoughts, words, actions to support you and your highest purpose.
If you are someone that feels stuck, or in a hole that you don’t know how to get out of, feels extremely sensitive to everything going on around you, simply wants to find your path, your life’s purpose or wants to turn your luck around, feel empowered, etc., perhaps a session with me can help you find your passion and purpose and steer you on the path straight ahead.
How do you think about happiness?
I am happy when I feel I am making a positive difference in someone’s life. When I am able to see them moving forward in their life, being able to work through their past traumas, finding happiness, seeing them find peace and in many cases simply breathe, it inspires me to want to do more. I find gratitude each day in the work I do and feel truly blessed to have the clients that I have.
