EcoBroker* | Realtor® | Feng Shui Design Consultant | Home Stager

Beginnings…

As a child, I liked to re-decorate my bedroom as much as Mom allowed – including taping Davy Jones (remember the “Monkees”?) photos to anything that they would stick to. I loved visiting my friend’s homes because it meant I got to see their bedrooms. I didn’t know it then, but my interest in color and design would lead to my passion.

Getting there…

My path to my current livelihood started when I was an interior design student at UT in the early 80’s. A few twists and turns later, design gave way to a career as a paralegal. If it were not for finding a book about the Chinese art of Feng Shui during my lunch hour – I might still be buried in law books.  As it turns out – that book brought me back to design and literally changed my life.

I left my paralegal position for eight years of intensive Feng Shui study in Ontario, Los Angeles and Seattle.  I class=”mceItemHidden”> was certified as an Advanced Practitioner by Master Joseph Yu,  author and founder of the Feng Shui Research Center.  I also studied 8 house,  Flying Star, and Da Gua systems with Master Shyan Tseng of Taiwan and Form School study with Master Peter Leung in California.  

After becoming certified as an International Shui Consultant, I opened an interior design practice based on Feng Shui.   Attracting work from Realtors who hired me to stage houses, it wasn’t long before I was interested in expanding my practice to include Real Estate.

Bringing Balance to Real Estate

I launched Balanced Living Properties in 2005, creating a Real Estate Brokerage that goes beyond the traditional model.  I focus on bringing a more harmonious experience to buying and selling property.  My aspiration is to be guided in business (and life) by Spiritual principles.  I find inspiration from helping clients and continue to look for ways to improve my services.  Both my partner and I are committed to finding solutions for the highest good.
