ποΈβπ¨οΈ The Strength To Endure Comes From Thisβ¦
π« Itβs a connection deeper than you can imagine, and itβs waiting for you with Crystal Vision
In moments of uncertaintyβwhether you're resolving past issues, navigating a career change, or simply trying to understand your lifeβthe way forward can feel obscured. What you need most is not a prediction of the future, but a profound illumination of your present. You need practical, grounded clarity that empowers you to make the most conscious and confident choices for yourself.
This is the heart of Laurel Phoenixβs practice at Crystal Vision in Colorado Springs. As a Conscious Channel, she helps you access the deeper information you need to find your own answers. Her approach is built on a lifelong, innate connection to Spirit, guiding you back to your own inner wisdom.
Laurelβs guidance is delivered with a depth of compassion earned through profound personal journeys. Her own story is one of unimaginable resilience. After losing her child in a horrific accident that left her heartbroken and homeless, she had to start over from nothing. It was her spiritual foundation that gave her the strength to endure the unthinkable and rebuild her life. This lived experience of finding the way back from utter darkness allows her to hold space for others with true, non-judgmental understanding.
It is this unique combination of intuitive gift and experience that she brings to her work. Through Crystal Vision, Laurel helps clients with a wide range of needsβfrom releasing emotional trauma and overcoming fear through hypnotherapy to contacting departed loved ones and providing astrology insights. She draws upon nearly five decades as an Intuitive Counselor continuing a family lineage, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, a Reiki Master, and an Ordained Minister.
π As an exclusive invitation to experience this guidance, Laurel is offering COS Town Tidings subscribers $10 off any private readings. This offer ends December 31st.
Book Your Session to Find Your Clarity: Mention the subscriber offer when you contact Laurel, to save $10. Email her at [email protected], call 678-895-7448, Facebook or visiting her website at CrystalVision.info.
β¨ Share the Gift of Insight*
Looking for a unique way to connect with friends, celebrate a milestone, or give a meaningful gift?
Psychic Parties: Gather your friends for a fun and enlightening experience! One of Laurel's most requested services, these parties are a memorable way to gain insight in a shared, comfortable setting.
Ceremonial Officiant: As an ordained minister, Laurel can help you create a beautiful, personalized ceremony for life's most significant milestones, including weddings and celebrations of life.
Gift Certificates: Offer a thoughtful way to share the gift of clarity with a loved one.
* The exclusive subscriber discount does not apply.
