How to Become a Feng Shui Consultant

Feng shui is a practice that began in China about 3,000 years ago. Today, feng shui consultants apply age-old principles to modern life by helping people redesign their homes and offices. If you have an interest in design and are willing to study feng shui, you can have a rewarding career as a feng shui consultant.

Instructions

1. Read everything you can about feng shui. Look on the Internet, visit your local library and check out Amazon or your local bookstore. Learn about the different types of feng shui and determine if you have more than a passing interest in the topic.

2. Complete a feng shui training course. There are many options to choose from, such as distance courses and classroom courses at schools around the country. Find a list of courses at one of the societies' websites. Look for a list of consultants and see where they studied, or ask some feng shui consultants who you might know.

3. Join a professional society. Being a member of the Feng Shui Society or the American Feng Shui Society gives you access to courses and events and lets people know that you are serious about your profession.

4. Market your services. You will need business cards. You might want to do mailings or join local business organizations to let people know about your services. Websites are also great ways to promote your business. Of course, word of mouth is best, so you will want to ask your clients to spread the word if they are happy with your services.
