Feng Shui Residential | certification through the shambhalla institute

Kim Colwell, a second-generation feng shui master, offers feng shui residential certification for individuals or groups onsite in Los Angeles or worldwide virtually via Zoom. Kim is the principle designer at Kim Colwell Design and a teacher at the Shambhalla institute. The institute’s comprehensive approach to feng shui makes it the most established feng shui training in North America since 1991. Melinda Joy Miller, Kim’s mother and founder, designed the curriculum from her unique perspective as a cultural anthropologist and sensory motor-integrative therapist who used space to impart a shift in her client’s developmental process in the OT department. She has an extensive background as a feng shui master, medicine woman, and expert in permaculture as the author of Shamanic Gardening: Timeless Techniques for the Modern, Sustainable Garden, that incorporates a full chapter on feng shui for the garden. The Shambhalla Institute has been featured on NPR, as well as the publications Feng Shui for Modern Living, Philadelphia Inquirer, Pasadena,  Angeleno, WWD and more. She has  received worldwide recognition for selecting the location of the Philadelphia Eagles’ sports arena.

Our feng shui residential certification course is ideal for newcomers, experienced practitioners or anyone who wants to discover new ways to think about the effects space has on their psyche, well-being and sense of personal balance. Those who are choosing feng shui professionally will have a distinct competitive edge as no other feng shui course integrates traditional feng shui with psychological and Native American techniques. It is the perfect complement to the work of interior designers, architects, real estate brokers, psychologists, healers or anyone who wants to take control of their lives by using their space as a tool to manifest their goals. We also offer customized training specific to the fields of real estate and interior design upon request. See what our students have to say about this transformative class.

What Students Say

“Kim’s knowledge of feng shui is extensive. She has an intuitive way of working with people to help them make changes they weren’t able to imagine before. I am learning so much.” Dr B Tauber, Clinical Psychologist, Los Angeles

“The class was beyond what I was expecting. The depth of information from many different perspectives makes this a unique, insightful and powerful course. Kim did an excellent job of meeting me where I am with my learning style. I love the hands on approach.” Elizabeth Shopland, Owner, Nature Inspired Living, BC Canada

“I was amazed at the power of their feng shui. I tend to be a skeptic, but first having Kim come to my home and do a consultation and then taking her class has made a marked difference in the way the space feels, how I feel, and how my life has shifted. As a student I learned an array of tools. The class gives you the knowledge and the opportunity to better your life and others.” Tara Platt, Actress, Author, Producer, Los Angeles
