Gordonvale woman Lisa Joanne Aston Michael has carved a unique career as a “spiritual medium” that people hire to communicate with living and dead pets as well as unborn puppies.
“It all began for me one day when I was driving in 2011,” the former professional musician said.
“There were two rainbow lorikeets in front of me. One of them was hit by a car and sadly died. The other bird went into a state of panic. I had this reaction. I thought I was having a heart attack or something. It was like a spontaneous empathetic event. Later, I realised I was experiencing what the surviving bird was experiencing”.
She then trained in animal reiki. She said she began getting “feelings” and then “words and images” which she believed were coming from animals speaking the “universal language of telepathy”.
By word of mouth, she began building a large client base of people wanting to better communicate with their animals.
“I had one experience with someone having trouble with their horse. I went out to the paddock to communicate with the horse, and when I did, I just started getting these feelings, and I said to the owner, ‘have you had a traumatic event lately?’ and the woman said yes”.
She said she had probably picked up the woman’s trauma through telepathy with the horse.
Over the years, Ms Aston Michael said she began to believe some of “the thoughts, feelings and images” she was experiencing were coming from dead pets with messages for grieving owners – mainly when prompted by a photo.
One of her clients, Lesley Gail, told the Cairns Post Ms Michael communicated with her dead border collie named Lace.
“After losing Lace, I asked her breeder for a pup from the next litter; it would be Lace’s full sister. I asked Lisa if she might be able to communicate with the mother and perhaps the pups in utero”.
“Lisa was able to connect with one special puppy and was number three in birth order, so that’s the one we picked”.
Rosa Capone told the Cairns Post she was very close to an Alaskan Malamute named Prada she’d shared a life with for 10 and a half years; the pair travelled Europe together, and Ms Capone said Prada was “my best friend … I was devastated when she passed away”.
Ms Capone said she saw a pet grief counsellor and several clairvoyants to help her deal with Prada’s death.
“The things the other clairvoyants were saying were just not correct.”
By contrast, she said during the session, Ms Aston Michael told her the bedroom was at the end of her hall and that Prada used to sit on the tiles outside the room.
“How did she know that?” Ms Capone said.
She said during another phone session, a “large rainbow appeared on the couch where Prada passed away”.
“It helped me enormously with the grieving process. It confirmed with me the feeling that everything was right; it made me feel like Prada hadn’t left me. Sometimes I can still smell her. Prada is still here, but she comes and goes now”.
Ms Aston Michael, who lives in Gordonvale, said “just by word of mouth,” she now has hundreds of clients around Australia who consult her on animal communication. She charges up to $120 an hour. She says her most typical client has a 30 minute session which costs $85 and in animal rescue cases, she says she offers her service free-of-charge.
“I know this can be very hard to understand … but it’s about knowing that all creatures have a soul and that animals go to their respective animal oversoul when they die, so that’s where I am communicating with them from” Ms Aston Michael said.
