MY STORY
MY STORY
I’m Michele Rothberg, a psychic medium with a lifetime of experience connecting with spirit. Through psychic readings and evidential mediumship, I’ve been able to share the gifts I’ve been blessed with to help others find greater peace, comfort and inner strength.
I first became aware of spirit when I was very young. As a little girl, I was able to see and hear those who had passed away. At the time, I thought everyone else did, too. Fortunately, my parents were very open-minded and relaxed about it. They always expressed a positive attitude, and made me feel that they believed the stories I shared with them. In fact, when I was about five years old, my mom took me to see a wonderfully gifted and world-renowned psychic medium, who told her that I was “like him.” She wasn’t surprised, and said that it made quite a bit of sense to her.
A few years later, a very emotional event marked a new phase in my self-awareness, allowing me to see the meaning of these connections, and the ways they can positively affect a person’s life.
When I was nine years old, my grandma—with whom I was very close—became very sick and went into the hospital. My family and I visited her several times, but on one particular evening when we were there, I remember thinking she looked more sick than usual. I felt very bad for her. After visiting hours were over, we said good night, and went home. My mom tucked me into bed that night, and I went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, I awoke suddenly to see my grandma standing in my doorway, looking radiant, beautiful and healthy. She was dressed in a lovely pants suit, with her hair in place and her makeup done. She told me that everything was okay, and not to worry. She also asked me if I would like some cream of wheat to eat, a typical, everyday activity in our family. I remember feeling almost frozen in time, and unable to speak. I looked at the clock, which said 3:01 a.m., and then my grandma disappeared.
The next morning when I awoke, I walked into the kitchen where I found my mom crying. Through her tears she told me that my grandma had passed away during the night. I immediately asked her what time it occurred, and she said 3:01 a.m. I realized then that my grandma had come to say goodbye, to let me know that she was all right, and to tell me that I shouldn’t worry about her. I was able to share that message with my mom, which helped her bear the weight of her sadness.
After that day, my grandma came to me in similar ways many times throughout my childhood.
A couple decades passed until I had my second meeting with a medium. It was after my dad passed away, and he came through. It was an amazing experience. I remember feeling the overwhelming sense that he was truly there with us. It was incredible how his sense of humor shined through during the reading. I laughed as he brought up our inside jokes, and cried tears of happiness knowing that he was ok. It felt as though we were actually visiting together. A feeling of peace took over my grieving heart, and I felt so blessed to have connected this way with him.
At the close of the reading, the medium said, “You are a medium like me.” Her words sounded true and resonated with all my previous experience. It was as though a door had opened, and I was ready and excited to walk through. On that day, I started out wholeheartedly on the path I continue to fully embrace today—guiding others to peace, growth and self-healing through mediumship and psychic readings.
