For more than 45 years, I have dedicated my life to the study and practice of psychic readings, counseling, healing, and the balancing of human energy fields.
My work is rooted in deep spiritual inquiry and decades of hands‑on experience with clients from all walks of life. As a long‑standing Teacher of Meditation, I incorporate Tarot cards as tools for meditation, reflection, and orientation, alongside the timeless wisdom of the Chinese classic I Ching. Since 1995, I have also shared my insights through a monthly column for the North and South newspaper, offering guidance, clarity, and spiritual perspective to the community.
What is Feng Shui?
My journey into Feng Shui began in 1995 with a simple book and a plastic lo'pan (Chinese compass). What started as curiosity quickly evolved into a profound calling. I pursued further study in environmental energy, furniture placement, interior flow, and the symbolic use of classical objects such as crystal balls and flutes. This foundation led me to formal education under Master Larry Sang of the American Feng Shui Institute, followed by advanced, authentic, and traditional Feng Shui training with the world-renowned Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai of Malaysia. Their teachings shaped my understanding of Feng Shui as a precise, lineage-based science of land, energy, and human destiny.
The growing popularity of Feng Shui in North America is due in no small part to the contributions of these two masters. Their work empowered practitioners like myself to bring classical Feng Shui to the public with accuracy, integrity, and respect for tradition.
What distinguishes my practice is the integration of my lifelong experience in psychic and energetic work with the technical discipline of Traditional Feng Shui. This combination allows me to approach each consultation with both analytical precision and intuitive depth. I provide Feng Shui assessments for homes, businesses, and professional environments, and I am pleased to offer my services in English, Spanish, and Italian. As a passionate advocate for authentic Feng Shui, I also guide clients in selecting genuine, lineage‑appropriate Feng Shui products to support harmony, prosperity, and well‑being.
We invite you to experience the difference that authentic Feng Shui can make in your life.
Understanding Feng Shui begins with understanding what a true Feng Shui audit actually involves. Classical Feng Shui is not guesswork, décor trends, or “fast Feng Shui” shortcuts. It is a precise, layered system that examines the physical environment, the magnetic orientation of the property, and the time‑based energy cycles that influence every sector of a home or business.
Below is a clear, human explanation of what a real Feng Shui audit includes.
What a Classical Feng Shui Audit Involves
A complete Feng Shui audit integrates the Form School, Compass School, and Flying Stars systems to analyze both the physical and energetic structure of a space. Each method reveals a different layer of information, and together they create a complete energetic map of your environment.
Form School
Form School examines the landforms, building shape, and the natural and architectural features that influence how Qi enters, moves, and settles. It looks at mountains, roads, water, neighboring structures, and the internal flow of the home. This is the foundation of all Feng Shui.
Compass School
Compass School uses precise directional measurements to align the property with its magnetic orientation. This determines how the building interacts with the surrounding environment and how Qi is distributed throughout the space.
Flying Stars
Flying Stars is the time‑dimension of Feng Shui. It reveals how different energy cycles influence prosperity, health, relationships, and stability in each sector of the home or office. This chart changes with construction period, facing direction, and yearly influences.
Together, these three systems create a precise, time‑based energetic blueprint of your environment, guiding adjustments that harmonize energy and support long‑term success.
Common Feng Shui Misconceptions
As you explore Feng Shui, you may encounter ideas that oversimplify or distort the practice. Here are a few clarifications to help you navigate the difference between authentic Feng Shui and what some practitioners promote as “fast Feng Shui.”
“Feng Shui is just about décor.”
Décor can support energy flow, but Feng Shui is not interior decorating. It is a structured system based on landforms, direction, and time cycles. A beautiful space is wonderful, but beauty alone is not Feng Shui.
“You need to spend a lot of money.”
True Feng Shui can be practiced on any budget. Many powerful adjustments involve rearranging furniture, correcting pathways, or removing blockages. Authentic Feng Shui is not about buying endless objects; it is about understanding energy.
“Feng Shui is superstition.”
Classical Feng Shui is based on observation, environmental science, and thousands of years of empirical study. It is practical, grounded, and focused on how humans interact with their surroundings.
Conclusion
Feng Shui is a powerful tool for creating harmony, clarity, and support in your life. By understanding its principles and applying them mindfully, you can enhance the energy of your home, office, or business. Your Feng Shui journey is personal; it evolves as you evolve. Start with small steps, observe how your environment affects you, and allow positive energy to unfold naturally.
As you begin, consider which areas of your life you wish to strengthen: relationships, career, health, stability, or peace. Feng Shui offers a pathway to each of these goals. Even a simple act like decluttering can open the door to meaningful change.
