I believe that a thoughtfully designed home or workspace simply gives us the daily effective and peaceful quality of life we need to thrive and master our goals and challenges more easily.
Authentic Asian Feng Shui adds almost scientific precision to this, as it aligns the person with their beneficial cardinal points in the earth's magnetic field and directs nurturing energy for stability, harmony, health and prosperity into our lives and homes.

Bio

My journey began in human biology and science, where I spent several years studying and working in the field. Perhaps this is where my meticulous attention to detail in design projects comes from.
Interior design has always been my passion, but it was the uplifting, healing energy of Feng Shui that transformed my approach when it entered my life with my children in 2007.
What started as personal discovery evolved into professional mastery. In 2021, I completed my Diploma in Interior Design Consulting at Shaw Academy. The following year, I pursued rigorous study in authentic Asian Feng Shui principles and methods, earning my Feng Shui Consultant Certificate from the Professional Association for Feng Shui and Geomancy e.V., along with elementary and intermediate certifications from the renowned Yap Cheng Hai Academy (YCHA) in Malaysia—credentials recognized by the International Feng Shui Association (IFSA).
My training continued with an Advanced Feng Shui Practitioner's Course in 2023 under senior master Yap Boh Chu at YCHA, and between 2022 and 2025, I completed specialized training in geopathology and sleeping area detoxification according to Reinhard Schneider's methods with Ludwig Schürger in Thurmansbang, Germany.
Typically, my interior style is clear and natural with a touch of abundance. I love balancing personal old favorites and cherished memories with elegant design pieces and functional basics.
As a mom of three grown-ups, I know firsthand how important it is to balance daily practicality and energetic wellbeing within a home, so that it supports and strengthens us through different phases of life.
Based in beautiful historic Heidelberg, Germany, and our heart-chosen Salt Spring Island, Canada, together with my husband, our three daughters (and our cat Kivi), I love being out in nature, photographing along the way as soon as a good piece of work is accomplished for the day.

Q&A

  • Which benefits does a fusion of Interior Design with authentic Feng Shui offer?

    A thoughtfully designed home already brings joy and wellbeing to everyday life. But a beautiful home can still be energetically draining if you don't know how to use your personal beneficial directions and nourishing Qi flow to uplift your life force.  

    Once clients discover the sustainable improvements possible in health and energy balance, they often ask me to calculate Feng Shui principles for the entire family—or optimize office workspaces to improve productivity and harmony at work.

    This is where a fused Interior and Feng Shui Consultation elevates a well-designed space into an energetically and geomantically healing environment.

  • What do your typical clients look for?

    Most clients are longing for a noticeable improvement in life balance and the ability to truly recharge at home. In today's fast-paced world, a thoughtfully designed home—where you feel belonging, where you find joy to connect and work productively, yet also fully retreat—can transform your life.  That is why my approach is holistic, emphasizing beneficial energy flow and efficient practicality in every space.

  • How would you describe the FREIDEKIND Interiors style?

    My favorite style is clear and airy - using natural colors and the interplay of daylight and thoughtful artificial lighting, thus creating a harmonious energy flow throughout the day. I love adding a subtle touch of abundance: personal memories, cherished old furniture, or cultural elements that embrace each resident's unique personality.

    I also believe my multicultural living experience (Europe, Kazakhstan, Canada) taught me to be aware of different challenges people might face and to find individual, sometimes unexpected but enriching solutions and style combinations.

  • How do your different backgrounds influence your current work?

    I first earned a PhD in Biology from the University of Heidelberg, working in cancer research and quality management. Years later, I followed my old passion by studying Interior Design Consulting and Feng Shui — finally discovering that both paths share the same goal: improving people's health and quality of life.

    In my opinion both technical meticulousness and creative expression work together very well: my approach is to see the whole picture while optimizing multiple aspect layers – ensuring the client gets the most accomplished result.

  • How does the process work?

    My workflow is usually a 3 major steps process – beginning with a conversation about your needs & preferences, scope of work and budget – then diving into my core work of creating a holistic concept & design for your space – summing up into a comprehensive purchase document for concrete items and a final styling & décor service.

    Naturally, since every project is unique – I strive to create a harmonious process that truly resonates with you.

  • What is authentic Feng Shui, exactly? Do I need to believe in Feng Shui for it to work?

    Feng shui is the ancient Asian evidence-based science of energy flow in space that is used to benefit our health, status and stability. There are many “Western” and symbol-prone interpretations out there, but the authentical Asian Feng Shui taught by the Yap Chen Hai Academy,  where I was honored to study at, teaches ancient principles and techniques which are based on spacial energy dynamics – so that you do not need to believe in Feng Shui, because it will work anyways.

    For more information about methods and techniques please refer to Feng Shui Page.

  • How long does a typical project take and what is your project pricing?

    Project time and budget are varied by the scope of a project. A small space Feng Shui consultation for example can start at 396€ but surely can increase in cost according to the intended space changes and amount of work and time.
    That is why my approach is quotation based. And also, that is why I love balancing old existing furniture favorites with new pieces into an aesthetic space where you feel yourself authentically represented.
