 PSYCHIC READINGS OFFERED AT LONGACRE HOUSE 

Is there something or someone on your mind? Do you have questions about your children, your parents, your career, your future? Psychic reader Kathy Tertzag will help you find the answers in her series of readings conducted at the historic Longacre House. Tertzag is a fourth-generation psychic who is known for helping many people find assurance, acceptance and release through her insightful readings.

 The 20-minute psychic readings will take place in the second floor Bride's Room at the Longacre House, a setting that Tertzag says is perfect for readings, as the room has its own spiritual history.  It also provides a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere where guests have total privacy. The Longacre House is located at 24705 Farmington Road, just south of Eleven Mile in Farmington Hills.

 A well-respected psychic, Tertzag teaches classes in metaphysics and psychic phenomena at Henry Ford Community College. Tertzag works through a method of "sense impressions," and says she successfully uses the presence of spirit guides to assist in her readings.  She has also experienced spirits, sometimes family members of her reading guests, who have something to tell a person or answers to questions or concerns. Tertzag is very personable and readings are totally confidential. 

Pre-registration is required. Appointments for readings are between 6 - 8:50 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 7, Nov. 11 and Dec. 9. Cost is $45 for residents and $50 for non-residents. Call Cultural Arts at 248-473-1857/59 to book your appointment.
