Angels Touch by Lisa Powers - March 9th

Back by popular demand, Lisa Powers, spiritual medium and an animal communicator. She is clairaudient (hearing), clairsentient (feeling), and clairvoyant (seeing).

Growing up, she always knew that she was different. Her parents usually attributed this trait as “over sensitivity.” In 2004 she had a spiritual awakening when her nephew Brandon was killed in an automobile accident, and through that tragedy she found solace in God and the Angels. Her nephew came to her in spirit and said, “Auntie, you will help the family to heal and help others; you have this ability, and why are you not using it? Now is the time.” Lisa wondered how she could be of help to others when she couldn’t even help herself. But she realized as time went on while working on her skin & nail clients at her own business, that she began to notice she was being guided by spirit, to help others, and then in turn, heal herself.

Lisa’s wish is to help others heal from pain and loss, empowering them to grow, and evolve on their own spiritual journey, awakening to their inner truth: we are just spiritual beings having a human experience.

Please join us and Lisa on this homeward bound journey. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Nicky O Foundation, a program of the Greater Attleboro Area Council for Children.
