Feng Shui Master Sylvia Watson, FSIA of Healing Environments with Feng Shui Inc.

I have been practicing Feng Shui since 1996. Even after twenty years, I am still astonished by the power of Feng Shui where even the simplest of remedies bring the most amazing results. 

Beginnings

My Feng Shui journey started in 1995 as I was exploring a new business in conjunction with a commercial painting and decorating company that my husband and I owned. It just so happened that a friend who had recently returned from a business trip in Australia, told me about Feng Shui. My first response to this strange sounding practice was “I can’t possibly do that!” Little did I know that my research would result in a complete fascination about a practice used by the Chinese for thousands of years.

After much soul searching, I realized everything in my life had prepared me for this new career.

• I had extensive business background as I worked with my parents who were very successful business people specializing in retail and real estate. You can say my parents taught me the art of “staging” before there was such a word.
• My first job after graduating from college was teaching art in the San Antonio school district. This served as my foundation as a professional color consultant.
• Being a co-owner of a commercial painting/decorating company, I developed strong business relationships with architects, designers, paint and wallcovering suppliers. This provided me with resources when working with my Feng Shui clients in their homes, businesses and professional spaces.
• After years of blueprint reading and estimating, I acted on a business opportunity and wrote an instructional manual for a company that specialized in software for the construction industry. This expertise allowed me to provide advice about new construction, remodeling and room/furniture arrangement diagrams.

Education and Certification

An ardent supporter of professional training, I completed a demanding certification program through the Feng Shui Institute of America (FSIA) in 1996.

• I was chosen to participate in FSIA’s Faculty Training Program which I completed in 1998. I have taught advanced Feng Shui concepts at several professional conferences and have mentored students throughout their certification course.
• After completing hundreds of consultations, becoming a published author, appearing on several television programs, and serving as a senior faculty member of FSIA, I achieved Master Status in 2014.
• I also attained the rank of Red Ribbon Professional with the International Feng Shui Guild (IFSG), the largest organization for Feng Shui professionals in the world.
• I serve on IFSG’s Education Committee where I, along with directors from highly respected Feng Shui schools, developed the Universal Topics of Feng Shui, which became the core curriculum for IFSG’s Gold Status schools.
