"Thank you so much for your unlimited breadth with Feng Shui. During my diploma training, your guidance was crucial in helping me find a career I have been looking for for a long time. The curriculum and classes had the right balance between theory and practical applications. All the subjects were truly fascinating to me. I can now create environments that support myself, my family and future clients."
Simon Hudson (Canada)
"I started studying Feng Shui a few years ago but feel incomplete with just Black Hat. Even after formal certification in modern Compass Feng Shui, I felt something was missing in my practice. Only occasionally do I get the expected results. I will be eternally grateful to the Feng Shui Academy for attending this course, which allowed me to discover the secrets of the Flying Stars and the Xuan Kong System."

I promise you are in one of the best schools of San He Feng Shui and Master Joao and his team of teachers are giving you is a solid structured foundation which you don’t get in many other schools on this planet. In which I am so grateful for what this school has given me.
This course changed my whole perception of Feng Shui where I totally fell in love with the subject and felt totally supported. My project and my study group brought the whole jigsaw puzzle of the years study together for me.
Might I add we had 4 people in our group which I feel was enough people. May I say out of that study group 3 of those became teachers for the school and successful Feng Shui practitioners and I myself have a thriving Feng Shui and energy clearing business.
Be brave contact that person that inspires you, they could take you on a deeper understanding of a subject that you love. 💗

You guys are probably aware of it, we are with a real and proper Feng Shui school, with a lineage.
When I was looking for Feng Shui schools, I had searched Malaysia. Master Francis Leyau came from a lineage of powerful Feng Shui masters. Their success stories are known. I had wanted to learn from him. But guess what? He’s retired and he passed on his teaching to his student, and that’s Master Joao.
That’s how I landed with classes with teachers from Portugal. Bear in mind that Chinese don’t pass on their lineage to someone easily, rest alone to a foreigner. So for me, this is a serious school to learn from.
If I manage to pass the exam in January, I’ll continue to master classes. If not, I’ll need to retake the diploma classes again.

Just completed the Diploma Course and it was really an eye opening process. I had been practicing classical Feng Shui for a few years before I enrolled, and I understand now where all the gaps in my knowledge were. Truly grateful for all I learned and I feel now much better prepared to do consultations.
