Scottish psychic discovered healing powers as child after racist bullying

A Dumbarton psychic whose clients include soap stars and Premiership footballers has admitted it’s surreal welcoming them to her town flat. Laura Tuach, known as Madre Palmistry, says she discovered her healing powers as a child - having been the victim of racist bullying whilst a pupil at St Patrick’s Primary.

Now she welcomes clients looking for guidance and miracles to her Wallace Street flat, and is the author of one of Kindle’s most popular books on empowerment and self-healing. The book charts Laura’s life from finding out about her mixed Irish and Indian heritage, embracing her roots and learning more about what she believes is her ancestral gift.

She said: “I was given up for adoption when I was very young, I was in an orphanage as a child. As I got older I found out that my biological mother is ginger and from the Irish traveller community, and my biological father is an Indian Hindu.

“I’ve never met my father. I love my earth parents, Alistair and Liz Tuach, too much to find anyone else.

“They gave me a great upbringing, I’d been wrapped in cotton wool my whole life until I started school. Growing up as someone who was mixed race and quite tall in Dumbarton was tough.

“On my first day at St Patrick’s I got called a ‘p**i’ and I didn’t know what that was. But the energy that it came from was hate, even at that young age I knew that.

“The person who was saying it was angry. At five-years-old, I went home and asked my mum what it meant.

“That was when my parents explained to me that I was adopted. I was mixed race.

“I was always a target of bullying.”

Laura believes that being the victim of vile attacks has helped make her the person she is today. She said she is so in demand that her phone is ringing almost constantly, but that - despite the workload and toll it can take on her - she feels blessed to be able to help people, often during their darkest hours.

“It’s a miracle job I’m doing. I’m tapping into people’s power and transforming lives,” she said. “People come into me at their darkest hour and I help them.

“Two young men came to me because they were struggling with a heroin addiction. I got them off it.

“These men are now going into counselling to help others.”

And her skills have led to her developing a celebrity clientele, who all come to her council flat in Dumbarton for guidance.

Laura added: “It’s hilarious. Some people from Love Island came, they contacted me from Manchester and said they were driving to see me, and asked if that was okay!

“Some of the celebrities, especially footballers, have to come in covering their identity as they come up my wee close. It is cool to have someone like a soap star come into your house, but I treat everyone as equal.

“When a lot of people come to see me I do transformational healings. It’s amazing the miracles these rituals do.

“Celebrities come to me and say they are going for cosmetic surgery. They say they are on Instagram all the time and have millions of people watching them and ask me why they feel dreadful.

“Then they say to me they are relieved they didn’t get surgery because they feel great, they just needed to tap into their divine feminine power.”
