Our Teachers & Staff
Who We Are
We are a dedicated community of Clairvoyants, who love to share this work with our students. All of our teachers have completed many levels of our Clairvoyant training programs, and have been practicing Clairvoyance for a minimum of 5.5 years - and most have been practicing much longer! Each teacher brings a unique style and personality to the work, and yet we work together in harmony to so that all of our classes preserve the original essence of the teachings.
Our Directors
Rev. Lisa French
Director & Teacher, Directs the Clairvoyant Teacher's Program
Lisa is a tremendous spiritual teacher, clairvoyant reader and healer with a seemingly endless supply of magical stories, enthusiasm and compassion.

She went on to become Director of the San Rafael Clairvoyant Institute in Marin County. Lisa was then called to Hawaii's' Big Isle. She spent some time there working with the spirit of the land and then In 1997 she participated with a circle of others in the launching of the Clairvoyant Center of Hawaii.
Lisa teaches many levels of Clairvoyant Training, including the Spiritual Teachers and Leadership program, Your Own Birth Series, Women's Classes, One-to-One and all different flavors of workshops. When you find yourself in one of Lisa's classes you know you’re in a safe place to realize and restore your own souls journey; a place to use the techniques offered to know your Self. Lisa loves this work because it allows people to liberate themselves without giving their power or devotion to a teacher outside themselves. You learn to reference and trust your own information, you learn how to know when it is truth and when it is not.
Lisa sometimes leads transformational spiritual retreats. She’s taken groups into the mysterious temples of Egypt, and holy shrines in France.
You will always find yourself growing like a beautiful rose towards the sun, getting taller, stronger and more vibrant when taking a class with Lisa. Her lighthearted wisdom and jovial presence will ignite and illuminate the answers within you to your soul’s journey on earth. Do you want to discover the keys in you that unlock the gateways to your own souls journey? To your soul’s awareness if grace? To your soul’s own magical formulas of guidance and truth? Come and join us for classes and growth at CCH & Magic Isle.
