Kim Colwell offers certification feng shui class with feng shui tools, such as a prayer wheel, in Los Angeles and virtually online.

Feng Shui Certification Class

Feng Shui Certification — Personal, Hands-On Training, from Multi-Generational Lineage. As a second-generation feng shui master, Kim was trained directly by her mother, Melinda Joy Miller — founder of the Shambhalla Institute.

The Only Feng Shui Class of Its Kind, Anywhere

No other feng shui certification integrates all of this into one class:

• Shamanic Astrology – Native American Lineage and the Medicine Wheel of Peace, traced directly to Grandmother Twylah Hurd Nitsch of the Seneca Nation, who named Kim’s mother, Melinda Joy Miller, a Tradition Keeper.

• A Designer’s Eye – Taught by a working interior designer — principles become real design decisions that shift a room’s energy, not just a crystal in the corner.

• The Psychology of Space – Your space accumulates physical representation of what is going on in your internal life. At the same time, your space influences your mental state and emotions. Learn how your home can hold you in grief or low mood, trigger ongoing stress, or how something as simple as mirror placement can affect self-esteem.

• Biophilic Design – Current design science on light, air, and nature. Learn how the right air exchange, light temperature, and material choices in your own bedroom can measurably improve your sleep — along with focus, mood, and stress levels throughout the rest of your home.

• Private Instruction – Not a prefab course — this class offers hands-on experience through a comprehensive curriculum with one-on-one attention, adapted to how you learn, your convenience, and how you’ll apply it.

The Institute’s comprehensive approach makes it the most established feng shui training in North America, since 1991.

Kim Colwell Design offers feng shui courses such as residential certification feng shui class in Los Angeles, or virtually by zoom.

We also offer customized training specific to the fields of real estate and interior design upon request.

A Legacy with National Recognition

Melinda Joy Miller, Kim’s mother and founder of the Shambhalla Institute, designed the curriculum from decades of experience as a feng shui master, healer, renowned space clearer, cultural anthropologist, and sensory motor-integrative therapist. The Institute’s comprehensive approach to feng shui makes it the most established feng shui training in North America since 1991, featured on NPR, The Purist and Feng Shui for Modern Living magazines, Melinda Joy was recognized worldwide for wieghing in on the location of the Philadelphia Eagles’ sports arena, including being on the cover of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
