My Feng Shui Story
Every transformation has a pivotal moment.
​
My transformation came on a day more than 20 years ago, when I heard a radio interview discussing how a home’s spaces—entrances, hallways, bathrooms and more—can all have an impact on the balance and harmony of the home. I listened with captivated interest to all the things which could contribute to wealth, health, success and happiness—so many things I'd never imagined!
​
I’d always been interested in how houses ticked. As an adult I was very aware of the impact of my surroundings, how an atmosphere either worked or didn’t, how I either felt good or didn’t. I was prone to rearranging furniture until it was just right and I loved the way that the new placements could change not only the feel of the room, but the behaviour of the people who lived there.
At the time of the radio episode, I was living in a home I’d bought and moved into with my two children, while struggling financially as a single mother. The house I'd bought had a history—it had been home to drug addicts, and at one point a young mother made her living as a sex worker from the front room.
​The radio voices I heard that day were discussing something called Feng Shui. A Chinese Feng Shui Master was being interviewed. I soaked it up, fascinated. ​
Shortly after that day, a friend slid a magazine across the table as we had coffee and said, ‘Here’s something that might interest you'. It was an article on Feng Shui.
​
Totally hooked now, I raced to the library and borrowed every book they kept on the subject. Time stood still and zen took over as I read and read, calculated, analysed and applied the principles amateurishly to our home. It led me to questions like—​
​
-
Why was I attracted to a house that had been so dysfunctional?
​ -
How were its energies affecting the health, happiness and prosperity I wanted for myself and my children?
I was prone to rearranging furniture until it was just right and I loved the way that the new placements could change not only the feel of the room, but the behaviour of the people who lived there.
​I didn’t know then that I wanted to become a Feng Shui practitioner for a living. Nor did I know there were such as thing in Australia! I just knew I wanted to know more. And I wanted to transform my life.
Our little house would help me.
​
My desire to change lead me to find the money to hire a Feng Shui consultant. She could tell I had already changed the energy to a certain extent but she pinpointed specific Feng Shui things I needed to do to dissolve some disharmony and conflict in the invisible Qi, and what I needed to do to activate some really good wealth Qi.
I followed her advice and the house immediately felt lighter. Over the next couple of years our circumstances improved immeasurably. I found courses and workshops I needed to move beyond my limited thinking, and at the same time both my salary increased and my self confidence increased. Gradually, my children moved into their own premises and their own successful lives.
The big win came when I finally felt brave enough to take a huge risk and fulfill an ‘impossible’ dream
​The big win came when I finally felt brave enough to take a huge risk and fulfill an ‘impossible’ dream—to go and live in Italy for 8 months. Before I left, we put the house on the market. On the day of the auction, four separate bidders competed against each other. The house sold for far more than anyone had expected! Triple what I’d bought it for 10 years earlier.​
They all loved its energy.
​
What a change from the dysfunctional house it had once been!
Now 20 years later, after much training and research in Classical Feng Shui, I run my own successful Feng Shui business in Victoria and internationally. have travelled the world, have delighted in my children's successful lives, have a very loving relationship, and have been able to help many others move towards more fulfilling, abundant lives.
