      With everything else that I'm interested in  I can reach a point of overload but with Feng Shui it never happens I find myself even after a big day I'm still not too tired  to read anything on Feng Shui late in to the night.

I put it down to a passion that goes way back even when I didn't know it was Feng Shui.

As a little girl I was fascinated with the area and the homes we lived in, the way the families were distinctly different especially one side of the hill or on the other side of the road .

I found my self evaluating (even at a very young age) every home I visited in my neighbourhood.

Some of the homes were warm and welcoming with beautiful smells, the families were caring and their children (my friends) did well at school.

On the other hand there were homes were the father worked very hard the homes felt abandoned of  love filled with fear, there were arguments and at times violence. Our home was neither one or the other, our home was full of lots of books, music and food we were poor but I did not know it at the time I just thought that we were another variety in the tapestry of our community.

Years later it all made a sense to me as I realised that the Feng Shui and the forms of my small community had so much to do with it .Some of our neighbours lived near the river some were facing an old cemetery some of us were on the side of the hill.

Today I'm still curious and find my self taking my compass out like a detective and doing a reading on a house that is up for sale.  Because I want to know why is this home for sale, my trusted lou-pan tells a story most of the time. Is it:

• Upgrading due to a good prosperity?
• Is it disagreements and arguments?
• Or is it marriage brake up ?....

As you can see I'm just as inquisitive now and not much has changed after all those years.
These days my aim is to encourage my students and clients to be conscious of the energies around them and how these make them feel, the feelings are symptoms or afflictions and Feng Shui is the way of diagnoses and prescribing treatment.....It's that simple....

I have been very lucky in my life to cross paths with many  Feng Shui teachers their generosity with their time and sharing their knowledge has been inspiring.

My most respected teacher is the world respected Feng Shui Master Joseph Yu.

Sitting in the front row in his class , hearing him speak and explain thousand years' old formula's I come to realisation that this cannot be learnt even from the best books on Feng Shui.

A serious student of Feng Shui should at least once in their life spend some time learning from and in the presence of a true Master. My Feng Shui studies have taken me to different countries like Bali to learn the Balinese sacred relationship with their land.

While I was there I was lucky enough to attend Karen Kingston's workshops she is of an English origin but has the most incredible deep connection with this island and their people.. I loved the Balinese ancient wisdom she shared with us and the magical energy created during a moving mandala ceremony. 

I was fortunate to go to Malaysia and sit for my Master Practitioner Certificate with Lillian TOO.

Lillian Too has published more that 80 books on Feng Shui and has been successful in Asia in this predominantly male profession. My trip there was great with a celebratory dinner in her home. I was inspired by her as a mother, wife, now a grandmother and most of all as a business woman.

My study with Joey Yap of "The Mastery Academy Of Chinese Metaphysics" has been insightful and I have completed myBaZi  (4 Pillar Destiny Code) Mod 1 & 2 and  Advanced Practitioner BAZI 3.

I hope that I'll will continue to study Feng Shui for the rest of my life and share my knowledge .

Being a  Feng Shui Practitioner is incredibly rewarding and humbling,  the complexities of this Ancient Study has made a great difference in my personal life. May your Feng Shui journey also be filled with interesting discoveries...
