Picture
It is vitally important to come to a session in the right frame of mind and without too many expectations about what will occur. Through hundreds of communications with souls on the other side Michele has learned that neither she, nor the client is in control over what information (or even who) comes through. Since the information is distinctly in the control of the souls who choose to communicate, it is important that clients approach a session with an open mind. Souls have several reasons to communicate with those of us still in the physical world. Some merely want to let a loved one know that they are well and very much alive. Others want to heal a conflict or something that is incomplete for them. Some want to assist us in working through life issues—though in Michele’s experience Souls never interfere with our life lessons. Still others just want to say “hi”.

It is also important to remember that all Souls have the same ability to communicate. Regardless the soul has been in the hereafter one day or 10 years they communicate in the same way. There is much joy in the non-physical realms when communication is opened and something can come through. Michele literally sees souls jumping for joy at being able to make even the simplest communications. 

Every session can produce amazing messages, insights, healings and other communications. However, when a client has a deep expectation or desire for a particular answer to a question, or for some specific communication to be made, it can often interfere because the client is waiting for that one thing as opposed to receiving the messages that do come through. Imagine if you bought a bouquet of flowers for someone you loved and they responded by saying “oh, thanks, that’s nice but I really wanted chocolate.” You would miss out of the beauty of the flowers because you didn’t get chocolate. They bring the gifts and the issues they can and want to express and their deepest hope is that those who are there to receive it will do so with joy and excitement.

Michele has learned that souls who have passed into the non-physical realms have a broad perspective about life and the meanings and issues of their own and other’s lives. However, they are not all-knowing or suddenly omniscient just because they have passed. If a person wasn’t particularly soft and gushy in the physical world, they may not be that way in the non-physical. They retain quite a bit of their “old” personality, though with a new and broader perspective. Most also retain their sense of humor and often prefer to communicate in a light-hearted way. That doesn’t mean that souls will not deal with issues of conflict or disappointment. They want to heal and want those of us still here to heal. However, it is important to realize they may want to get to the heart of deep issues as soon as a connection is made because healing and resolving issues is the number one most important thing to the souls who communicate.  

Again, the key to an amazing session is to come with as few expectations as possible. You may not even immediately receive communication from the particular loved one with whom you want to speak. They usually will come through, but at times others come through first. Again, the souls know who you need to hear from first. Before a session Michele recommends the following preparation:

  • Take some quiet time to get a mental image of the person or persons with whom you hope to connect and send them your intention to communicate but trust me they already know. In fact it was probably them who gave you the idea. Even if you are skeptical, please at least try this for a moment or two.
  • Think of the person or persons and remember images, places, smells and other things that remind you of that person. You can try to just empty your mind and receive whatever images come through, or you can mentally focus on some.
  • Do your best to release any expectation about a specific thing you want to hear from someone who has passed. Imagine or enjoy having that communication then release it to Spirit or the Universe and let yourself relax into a space of “not-knowing” what will come through.
  • Know (or if you can “believe”) that your loved one has heard your intention and knows your desire.
  • Remember that your loved one may have other things to tell or show you and create a space of acceptance and excitement to receive what they choose to share. A good metaphor to use is to think of your loved one’s communication as a Christmas present. While it is wrapped you have a hope over what may be inside, but when you open it there is always something special picked out just for you.


If you can take the preceding actions before your session you will find that your mind and spirit are in a space of gratefulness and anticipation, but not overly attached to a specific result. Then, let whatever comes through amaze and fulfill you in the knowledge that someone you love is still very much alive and as close as can be.


Experiencing a new dimension affects everyone differently. For some people it is an exciting adventure, while for others it may be an anxious or even confronting experience at first. Michele has worked with many clients from a variety of spiritual, philosophical and experiential backgrounds and is highly skilled at creating a space of reassurance, clarity and openness. However, a client’s own resistance does not impact a session, because those in other dimensions are, above all else, compassionate and will bring about information that could not have been known to Michele. Therefore, this proves that a loved one is communicating. Michele begins each session with a brief explanation. During this time she is clearing her own being and sensing her client’s expressed or underlying feelings and emotions. She may ask a few questions about how a client is feeling about the expectation of contacting and communicating with loved ones who have passed into another realm. She may work with a client to express whatever is in his or her space that could impact the communication that is desired. She may even suggest that the client is simply not ready to receive the communication, or that loved ones are present, but unwilling to communicate at this time, however this is very rare.

In most cases clients very much want to communicate, to receive information and to know that their loved one is safe, happy and very much alive. When this is the case, as it nearly always is, Michele will simply wait, listen and feel for any number of signals that a loved one wishes to come through. At times, she will receive a picture of a physical presence that may look very much or even exactly like the person looked during their last life. Sometimes, she receives a feeling, emotion or a name or other words. Other times she is shown a scene that, to Michele, looks like a movie playing, full of color, sound and other sensory data. Many times Michele receives initial information through a strong reaction in her own physical body. This is often called “sympathetic pain” and Michele is often able to communicate with a deceased loved one through this physical impression days or even weeks before a client’s session. Michele will simply ask the soul to wait for the session. Amazingly, those in other dimensions of being often know in advance that Michele will be seeing their loved one and will begin to send physical impressions to her so that when a session begins the impression she receives is almost like a memory—she’s experienced it before and quite recently. This often allows Michele to directly ask yes or no questions and she can usually tell the client how the loved one passed over. 

Once the client knows who is coming through and wishes to communicate, sessions often flow quickly as the being attempts to communicate further. Often this additional information comes to Michele in the form of visual or auditory stimuli, though some spirits continue to send physical data to Michele through her own body. Two points are very important to understand about sessions. First, while Michele understands that many people want to communicate with a specific loved one, she cannot control who comes through. Second, some spirits are simply better at communicating than others. In some cases the newly deceased are not skilled at communicating in this physical dimension. Often, they will be accompanied by another loved one who has been in the other dimension for some time and who can communicate better. This being will often “introduce” another being who has recently died and may continue to “translate” for that being. Often it is a true joy for a client to know that one of their loved ones who passed long ago is there and helping their newly deceased loved one to communicate.

Michele cannot control the information that comes through to her. She can and does communicate and allows the information to flow, but believe it or not, spirits will withhold information that will hinder our life lessons. We need to remember that the spirits can not live our lives for us or tell us what to do in a given situation. They will provide information that does not interfere with life lessons. They do not intend to hurt or disappoint the client. However, at times they simply wish to communicate what they want to communicate, which may be different than what the client wants to communicate. That being said, nearly all spirits want to be complete and clear with their loved ones. So, if there are issues of past hurt, harm, sorrow or disappointment, most spirits eventually wish to communicate, apologize, forgive or otherwise acknowledge the past incident. Sometimes, this can take more than one session, especially if the incident was severe and has impacted the client’s life in a negative way for a long time. 

Another thing to remember is that while the client may have specific, important memories of their loved one, the loved one who has passed may have other events that were most important to them. For example, the client may want to communicate with a Grandmother who has passed and may want to have that being show them a memory that is very important to the client. But the grandmother may have other memories and things to share about her relationship with the client that she found most touching or important during her life. For that reason, Michele asks clients to be clear and remain open, to consider the information coming through carefully and to probe their memories to find a match. If the client is holding on to something he or she wants the spirit to communicate he or she will devalue other information coming through. Sometimes, however, the deceased spirit will send information that is direct, impactful and exactly what the client wants to hear or know. Michele cannot control this, but it is a great joy when this level of communication and confirmation occurs.

Many times more than one being will come through and the spirit beings know who the client needs to hear from first. This can be a great joy for a client, but can also lead to confusion in the short-term. Michele asks that clients be patient, allow the information to clarify and the being to become clear. Michele even experiences spirit beings related to clients she will be seeing later that day or even days later who are so excited that they simply won’t wait until the right time. All of these issues can cause very short-term confusion, but with a few moments pause Michele is able to sort things out, clarify who is present and even tell an unassociated spirit to leave until the proper time. It is not uncommon for Michele to see images of many of a persons relatives together, often laughing and enjoying themselves. Sometimes, she is present to spirits literally jumping for joy when a connection is made.

While all sorts of information may come through, nearly every being wants their loved one to know two things above all else: that they are fine and very much alive and that they forgive the client for anything that may have occurred during their lifetime. What they most want from the client is connection and forgiveness for anything they’ve done. In the end, what is communicated is unconditional love and eternal life.
