As an artist, Wah creates Feng Shui Art, organic compositions of watercolors or oil, botanical samples, handmade paper, gold leaf and other materials, which portray Nature, the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) and Yin/Yang qualities. Samples of Wah’s artwork can be viewed under “Feng Shui Art by Laila Wah“.

“Pursuing Feng Shui as a discipline and art form is an extension, both of my study and clinical experiece in the field of East Asian Medicine, and my life as an artist. The core of Asian philosophical concepts, the Tao, Yin/Yang qualities, Qi (Vital Life Force) energies and harmonic design, are shared in all Asian disciplines whether it be medicine, art, music, the martial arts, flower arrangement, astronomy, architecture etc.”

“My Feng Shui work is guided by the Form School of Feng Shui, The Tibetan Buddhist Black Hat Sect Feng Shui, sacred geometry and Nature’s inherent spirituality. In any consultation, residential or commercial, I take into consideration all these factors as well as the beliefs and lifestyle of the individual(s) I am working with and strive to align them with Feng Shui principles.”

“The focus of my life is Spirit. My activities in this world are service to Greater Life and aiding humanity, which includes all aspects of my work both as a healer and as an artist. Whether I am practicing East Asian Medicine or conducting a Feng Shui consultation, I am actively striving to heal and improve the personal Qi of those I work with, and ultimately, their individual healings effect those whom they interact with. Feng Shui is a form of natural healing and Qi attunement. When we heal our environments through “balancing energies“, we heal our interior lives. They are not separate. Our homes reflect who we are, where we are and where we are going. “

“Feng Shui as a science, adjunct to East Asian Medical philosophy and creativity, makes a statement about Harmony, Beauty, Balance and energy flow in our daily lives. I believe we become tuned to the Divine Source when we embrace and actively express Harmony, Balance and Beauty. To create one’s interior and exterior space with these sacred principles, is to reflect the Beauty which Nature and the Celestial Spheres bestow upon us. As the saying goes, As above, so below.”

“My initial introduction to Feng Shui was through Nancy SantroPietro’s book Feng Shui: Harmony by Design. This lead me to studying with Melanie Lewandowski, Feng Shui consultant, interior designer and proponent of Master Thomas Lin Yuan and with Professor Lim. Other teachers who have influenced my work are Karen Kingston, Sarah Rossbach, Jami Lin, Steven Post and Master Lwan Lau.”

On-site consultations are available for residential and commercial spaces. Wah will travel to any destination in the country. Consultations by correspondence are also available.
