My journey into Feng Shui reflects the beauty of life’s unexpected turns and led me to discover my life's purpose.
After decades of long hours and intense global travel, I faced burnout and long-term post-COVID symptoms in early 2020. These challenges impacted my cognitive function, ultimately shifting my career trajectory. During this recovery and reflection period, I understood I no longer aligned with the 'yang' oriented corporate world, which felt totally out of sync with my values and at odds with the authentic me. Seeking balance amid an awakening, I felt a strange and unexplainable heart calling to explore Feng Shui. What began as a personal interest evolved serendipitously into a professional path after enrolling in the Master's level certificate and dedicated two years to full-time study, amassing hundreds of hours of research, practice, and case studies to qualify as a certified Classical Feng Shui Consultant.
Feng Shui has been so much more than I ever imagined, a beautiful, deep, transformative practice that has profoundly changed my life, and I hope to change yours, too.
Life Before Feng Shui
Early Years
Growing up in Sussex, in a town known for its powerful ley lines intersecting with the Greenwich Meridian, I was always surrounded by alternative thinking. My mum introduced me to these practices at an early age, and I still remember a Geomancer visiting our home when I was ten years old to map out the energy lines. I followed him with fascination around the house, asking questions about his actions with child curiosity and a memory I kept.
Work Experience
My previous career of over 28+ years in brand education, sales, and marketing management saw me work with various indie brands. I honed my expertise in brand building, training and marketing with KIEHL'S (L'Oréal), BURBERRY (In-house), and LE LABO (Estée Lauder Companies). Working with these brands within larger corporations provided invaluable insights, which I now apply to help businesses through my Feng Shui work. This experience also sharpened my appreciation for aesthetics and creativity, enabling me to honour homes and businesses' unique styles whilst understanding the practicalities.
Passions
I am passionate about health, wellness, yoga, travel, and the natural world. I have had a profound spiritual practice and feel most at peace when in the solitude of nature. I’m also fascinated by ancient history, the esoteric, and the intersection of science and spirituality. I often explore what is not yet quantifiable in traditional science - the inspiration for the 'Curious Minds' pages.
My Approach
Brand Education Meets Feng Shui
What I offer lies in translating the intricacies of this ancient wisdom into a language that resonates with the Western world. Drawing from my extensive background in brand education, I offer a bridge between this profound and complex knowledge. It's about making Feng Shui accessible, focusing on modern, beautiful remedies that align with the aesthetics of contemporary living spaces, and collaborating with clients to make positive changes to their lives.
Traditional Wisdom and Modern Application
My Feng Shui practice is deeply rooted in Classical Feng Shui while embracing all schools of thought, including Form, Compass, Flying Stars, and Intuitive Feng Shui, alongside considering new schools of thought. This holistic approach allows me to tailor solutions that suit client's needs and goals.
