UK's Top Psychic Medium joins Hawthorn

Mike Davies is the latest addition to our team. As a National Award Winner, Mike is also described as a Clairvoyant.

Mike had a normal upbringing in life but as a child he knew that there was something different about himself. 

From as long as he can remember he would see flashes of light and different colours but at the time thought it was normal. 

He explained what he was experiencing to his two sisters but they both didn’t understand and experience it themselves.

As a result Mike decided to go to a local Orthodox Church to seek answers and was told it would go away in its own time, but it never did.

Through out his teenage years Mike learned to live with it still not knowing of what it was he was experiencing.

At the age of seventeen Mike took a friend of his to a local Spiritualist Church and went inside not knowing what to expect. 

After his first visit to the church Mike became intrigued and after a couple of months he began to understand what the difference was between him and others.

On his way home one night after going to his local Spiritualist Church, Mike got caught up in an argument and heard a voice saying 'Watch the knife', the following day he woke up in hospital.

Not knowing where the voice had come from he wanted to know and understand more. Mike continued going to church and after three months was invited to an open circle, where he sat for four months before taking part in his first demonstration of clairvoyance just before his eighteenth birthday.

From that day on Mike has never looked back and continues to work for the Spirit world on a daily bases doing Church Services, Charity events, private readings, public demonstrations and paranormal Investigations through out the UK.

The Teams
Mike works closely with different teams who specialise in different areas. He has separate teams for Public Demonstrations, Charity Events and also for Paranormal Investigations.

Awards
2008
Mike was invited to the 2008 spiritual Connextions Awards as a finalist for Best Welsh Male Medium. Although he wasn't lucky enough to win, he says 'It was a great honour to be in the finals and I would like to thank all the people who voted for me and a huge thank you to all my friends and family who have supported me through the years'.

2010
Mike attended the Open Platform Keeping Connected Tour and is very proud to announce that he brought home the award to Wales, making him a NATIONAL AWARD WINNER!!!!! Mike would like to send a huge thank you to all who made this possible for him by giving him the support throughout his years of working for the spirit world.
