Feng Shui is a holistic approach to healthy living. Recently it has become a fashionable trend and as more people around the world seek out its benefits, more and more people pass themselves as experts. To take (or to teach) a weekend long seminar in the United States, Europe or Asia, to speak Mandarin and to be Asian are not necessarily qualifying credits.

Three basic qualifying criteria for a good Feng Shui Expert Consultant are:

• Years of training with a knowledgeable and well-respected Hong Kong or Taiwanese master in the theories and principles of Feng Shui.
  
  
• Someone who has worked on the application of Feng Shui principles and theories and who has therefore acquired years of experience in a variety of circumstances.


• A solid background in architecture, a Bachelors or Masters degree, is very important when working with new construction, remodeling, additions and big commercial and residential projects. Although the Feng Shui consultant may only provide conceptual guidelines, an architectural background will enable him/her to understand both the concerns and the pressures of modern design and building and therefore optimize the results.
