Michele Duffy is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and in 1999, she graduated from the BTB FengShui Masters program in NYC, the country's only fully accredited professional, three year FengShui school.
Michele created the FengShui sessions at world famous Canyon Ranch and taught courses for guests on FengShui RealEstate, Relationship Harmony, Health & Well-Being. For over twenty years thousands of individuals, home and business owners, entrepreneurs, and design industry pros have benefitted from learning and working with Michele in wide array of situations. In earlier NYC days & while working successfully at Random House, she also traveled the world to study & learn about other cultures and deepen her spiritual connection to Tibetan Bon Buddhism. One of her favorite trips was with over 18 yers ago with her husband to attend the annual March teaching in Dharamsala India by His Holiness the Dalai Lama (HHDL), to offer comfort as this sad annual anniversary of the Tibetan March Uprising, crushed over sixty (60) years ago by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The challenges have been numerous for many Tibetans, living in exile & yet, the spirit of the Tibetans is always buoyed up by their faith in the Tibetan teachings, HHDL & many other fellow Tibetans to preserve their unique spiritual heritage for their own sakes, as well as ours. Having the good fortune & karma to receive the many blessings of such a journey is evident on the happy faces in the upper right photo, taken in 2001 in Dharamsala, India. FengShui and Astrology enjoy a special cultural place in many cultures, and the Tibetans are no exception. It was interesting & helpful to discover different versions of FengShui practices in places like the Indian Himalayas, Singapore, Malaysia, Hawaii, Greece, Italy, France, and England.
It was during this early on exploration & self-discovery when calamity struck involving the death of two beloved older sisters who tragically lost long battles with cancer. As Michele grappled with the devastating shock and loss, she realized that there was a shortage of useful information in the west to support cancer patients, their families, cancer survivors, or even to acknowledge the connection between mind & body in offering solutions. For many centuries FengShui demonstrated a proven, holistic, and empowering approach to positively enhance our environments and lives. For centuries, FengShui has recognized the need to enhance one's living environment to increase health, wealth & harmonious relationships. Our stories begin at home & home should support our aspirations, dreams, and desired outcomes.
FengShui is all about enhancing our homes to help balance out our often stress-filled lifestyles so we can cope more effectively with change, worry, trauma, anxiety, fear, depletion, & grief. It is helpful to reflect that we can absolutely relate to feeling refreshed after experiencing nature, feeling restored after a long walk in the woods (forest bathing), a swim in the ocean, or hiking along a beach. When we implement FengShui we are consciously borrowing the "Qi" of nature as a proven and effective life strategy. We also can acknowledge that who and what we surround ourselves with has a profoundly influence on us, positive or negative. Far from FengShui being "woo woo" or superstitious, it has in fact, stood the test of time (proven for centuries) and was widely respected and even by Albert Einstein, a western scientist who famously asserted that "everything is energy whether we like it or not".
Michele's unique approach to FengShui will guide you gracefully towards the Tibetan Bon 5 Elements of powerful nature healing at home & hearth. FengShui is the inner journey of compassionate healing and strengthening your home base. FengShui effectively personalizes an integrative design sensibility that welcomes the natural world & all of its myriad healing properties onto the canvas of your home.
Life is enjoyed if we can pause, rejuvenate, & restore personal alignment and balance. Michele's work is connecting her clients to ancient, time-tested secrets to guide, & foster access ancient practices that uniquely address today's potential for malaise. The home is the place where the ancient wisdom traditions of FengShui and Tibetan Bon spirituality meet and both are aligned to create inner and physical surroundings happiness. Currently based in the Bay area, Michele enjoys helping her clients one at a time, hiking with her Boston Terrier, writing, cooking, photography, occasionally blogging & humbly attending the wisdom teachings of her spiritual mentors of generous Tibetan Bon lamas.
