Meet Aura S. Michel of auramichel.com

Today we’d like to introduce you to Aura S. Michel.

Hi Aura S., thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I have lived through what I can only describe as extraordinary moments—experiences that felt like miracles, each one reinforcing my faith in G-d and my belief that I was being carried through life’s challenges with divine support.

Those moments became the foundation for my book, Living On Miracles; Where Is G-d When You Need Him?, where I share the deeply personal experiences that shaped my understanding of faith and divine presence. For most of my life, that faith gave me confidence. I believed that no matter what I faced, I would overcome it. And time after time, that seemed to be true.

Then, in 2020–2021, everything changed.

I was diagnosed with Valley Fever, a serious fungal infection, and in a rare and devastating turn, it affected only my right eye. Even then, I held tightly to what I had always believed: that just as before, I would get through this and emerge whole. I trusted that I would walk away with my vision intact and continue on my path as I always had.

But that is not what happened.

Instead, I was forced into a deeper understanding—one that challenged everything I thought I knew about faith. I came to see a profound difference between faith and trust.

Faith is believing that a trapeze artist can walk a tightrope stretched between two skyscrapers. Trust is climbing onto his back while he does it.

I realized that I had always had faith. But trust—true trust—was something else entirely.

True trust is not about expecting a specific outcome. It is not about believing that things will turn out the way you hope. Trust is the ability to accept that whatever happens is not random, not meaningless—that there is purpose even in pain, even in loss. It is surrendering to that outcome without bitterness, without anger, and without turning away from G-d when things do not go as you wished.

Losing my eye forced me into that surrender.

And in that space—unexpectedly—something else began to unfold.

After my loss, I started experiencing things I could not easily explain. I began to see and hear what others around me did not. At first, I questioned it. I wondered if it was coincidence, stress, or simply my mind trying to make sense of what I had been through. But as time went on, the experiences became clearer, more consistent, and impossible for me to ignore.

That was the beginning of a new chapter in my life.

Recognizing that I needed guidance, I sought out a mentor—someone grounded, experienced, and able to help me navigate what I was beginning to understand as psychic mediumship. That’s when I met Bronwyn Jane, a very well respected and widely known psychic medium based in Australia. With her support and discipline, I learned how to manage and refine these abilities, rather than be overwhelmed by them.

Today, I use this work to help others—offering insight, guidance, and, when appropriate, connection to loved ones who have passed. Through my work and my website, auramichel.com, I provide readings and guidance for those seeking clarity, healing, and connection.

But more than anything, I bring to this work the lesson that changed my life:

Trust is not about control.
It is about acceptance.

My journey did not unfold the way I expected. In many ways, it was far more difficult than anything I had imagined. But it also led me to a deeper relationship with G-d—one not rooted in outcomes, but in surrender, resilience, and meaning.

And that, more than any miracle I thought I had experienced before, has been the most transformative gift of all.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has definitely not been a smooth road.

For much of my life, I believed that my faith would carry me through every challenge in a way that would feel like resolution—like things would ultimately work out the way I hoped. And for a long time, that seemed to be true. But my journey with illness changed that completely.

Being diagnosed with Valley Fever and fighting to save my eye brought not only uncertainty, but intense and prolonged physical pain. The treatments themselves were grueling, and there were moments when the pain felt overwhelming—when simply getting through the day required everything I had. It wasn’t just about enduring the illness, but enduring the process of trying to heal, not knowing what the outcome would be.

And despite all of that effort, I still lost my eye.

That was one of the most difficult emotional and spiritual turning points of my life. I had to confront a very hard truth: that faith does not guarantee the outcome you want. That realization forced me into a much deeper level of surrender than I had ever experienced before. Letting go of expectations, and learning to accept what is, without anger or bitterness, was one of the hardest challenges I’ve ever faced.

After that, a different kind of struggle began.

As I started having intuitive and spiritual experiences that I couldn’t easily explain, I had to learn how to stay grounded while navigating something entirely new. At first, there was doubt and uncertainty, I questioned what was happening and had to be very careful not to jump to conclusions or lose my sense of balance. I also didn’t know who to turn to without them thinking I am crazy.

Finding the right mentor was not easy, but it was essential. I needed guidance, structure, and discernment to understand what I was experiencing and how to manage it responsibly. Developing that control took time, patience, and a willingness to keep learning.

Even now, the journey isn’t about everything being easy—it’s about continuing to grow, staying grounded, and being of service to others in a meaningful and ethical way.

So no, it hasn’t been a smooth road. But the challenges are what shaped me, deepened my understanding of trust, and ultimately led me to the work I do today.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about auramichel.com?
My work is rooted in helping people find clarity, healing, and a deeper sense of connection—both within themselves and with those they have lost.

I am a psychic medium, and I offer intuitive readings that provide insight, guidance, and, when appropriate, connection to loved ones in spirit. My work is not about theatrics or making grand claims—it is about creating a grounded, meaningful experience that brings comfort, understanding, and sometimes much-needed closure.

I specialize in evidential mediumship and intuitive guidance. That means I focus on bringing through specific, recognizable details that validate the connection, while also helping clients navigate their own life paths with greater awareness. Many people come to me during times of grief, transition, or uncertainty, and my role is to meet them with honesty, compassion, and integrity.

What sets me apart is not just the work itself, but the journey that led me here.

Everything I offer comes from lived experience—through loss, surrender, and a complete redefinition of faith and trust. I understand what it means to search for answers in the middle of pain, and I don’t approach my work from a place of ego or performance. I approach it from a place of service.

Because of that, I am very mindful about staying grounded and responsible in how I work. I believe it is important to create a safe and respectful space for clients, and to offer guidance that empowers rather than creates dependency.

Through my website, auramichel.com, I offer private readings and sessions designed to support people wherever they are on their journey. Whether someone is seeking connection with a loved one, clarity about their path, or simply reassurance that they are not alone, my intention is always the same—to help them leave feeling more at peace than when they arrived.

What I am most proud of, brand-wise, is the trust my clients place in me. This work is deeply personal, and I don’t take that lightly. Every session is approached with care, respect, and a commitment to authenticity.

At the heart of everything I do is one simple intention: to help people feel seen, supported, and connected—especially in moments when they need it most.

What was your favorite childhood memory?
My favorite childhood memories are centered around my grandmother.

She was a very important person in my life, and being with her always felt easy and natural. We had an unspoken, intuitive understanding of each other that I didn’t experience anywhere else. I never felt like I had to explain myself or fit into any expectations—she simply allowed me to be who I was.

Unlike the kind of expectations that often come from parents, my grandmother created a space where I felt completely accepted. That freedom gave me a sense of comfort and belonging that I still carry with me today.

When I think back on my childhood, it’s those quiet, meaningful moments with her that stand out the most. They weren’t necessarily grand or extraordinary—but they were full of warmth, connection, and a kind of love that felt effortless and true.
