More about who I am

I grew up in Eastern Germany, and, 1990 I graduated as an architect specialising in public buildings. After having worked as an Architect for nearly a decade with projects of different size and scope, including interior design, I came in contact with Feng Shui.

At first, I was sceptical but, as I learned more, I became intrigued by its complexity and the knowledge behind it – knowledge deeply rooted in Chinese metaphysics, the I Ching and Daoism. I started looking for a teacher and found one in Derek Walters. Curious as to how Feng Shui can improve the overall design of houses, outdoor and interior spaces I wanted to learn more. By 2000 I was one of the direct students of Master Chan Kun Wah – now Grandmaster and one of the leading Feng Shui masters. I studied Da Gua hexagram Feng Shui with him. After my graduation I attended several specialized courses on other topics of Feng Shui and Chinese astrology.

A picture began to shape, to take form. I began to look with different eyes on architecture. Felt that there was so much more laying hidden within. I searched for a link to our European tradition, which I found in Geomancy and sacred geometry amongst others. I learned from Ewald Kalteis, Domvogt Reuters and professor architect Eike Hensch, experts in geomancy for built environment. Then I specialized in building acoustics. As its one of these things, which, when properly done and applied in a building, it is invisible to the eye, but it’s clearly audible and felt. So, it is with Feng Shui. Chi remains invisible to our eyes, but we certainly perceive/feel the atmosphere of a place – for good or bad. As we go in resonance with certain vibrations or reject them. I believe you know what I am talking about.

In the following years I worked as an architect, interior designer and gave lectures/provided consultation about Feng Shui. Living abroad and experiencing different climates, gave me valuable insights about how seasonal changes affect the light, colours, and, consequently, our way of living. I also came to understand the effect of these climatic differences on the local architecture and human behaviour – how spatial structure, architecture and design influence the human psyche.

Now, I live and work as a Feng Shui consultant and lecturer in Stockholm.
