We had to include this, as it is a question we get often! Many of the individuals seeking certification plan to incorporate their knowledge of Feng Shui into work they already do; this includes realtors, developers, designers, decorators, architects, builders, professional organizers, home staging experts and even artists.
Others choose to train to expand the depth of their knowledge of other Asian arts such as acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, tai chi, qi gong or even their yoga practice. Still others are looking for a new challenge and come from every walk of life imaginable! Some consultants go on to speak, write, teach, conduct consultations and build a business, while some choose to 'feng shui' only for themselves, family and friends. The choice is yours!
A Feng Shui consultant's job is varied and tremendously adaptable to their life. Some focus solely on personal home consultations, others on businesses and still others on teaching or writing. Their hours are their own to schedule as they would like, and the freedom to build a large business or a small side hobby adds to the flexibility.
Lori's 'blurb' when trying to explain what she does goes something like this: "I teach people how to decorate/arrange their homes, offices, organizations and places of business for profits, peace and pizazz!" Our consultants go into spaces with the goal of making them uplift, support and rock the people who live or work there. The spaces are never quite the same once we are done with them!
The best thing, however, is the camaraderie between consultants. The understanding that we are all seeking to create balance in our own lives and the lives of our clients is something that ties us to each other.
If this sounds like something you would LOVE to do, give Lori a call at 269.598.3376 or send an email our way (Lori@EmpressFengShui.com) to discuss your options.
