Feng Shui Interiors

 

PO Box 4 6 2 8 

Palm Desert, CA . 92260

 

Kathleen Tumpane’s appreciation for art and architecture started early. When she was six, her family moved from Portland, Oregon to Ankara, Turkey, then to Madrid, Spain. This 12-year immersion in other cultures sparked a love of art that led Kathleen to a degree in the subject from Lewis and Clark College.

Her artistic talents sought a practical application, and interior design was the answer. Kathleen earned an honors degree in interior design from Northern Arizona University. She started her practice in the Palm Springs area, integrating contemporary design principles with her exposure to classic ancient cultures. She has worked with clients throughout southern California.

In 1998, Kathleen’s passing interest in feng shui was awakened in earnest when she attended a four-week intensive program with Nancy SantoPietro, one of the world’s most well-known feng shui experts. From the first class, Kathleen was hooked. She went on to become certified by Lillian Garnier-Bridges in Five Element Feng Shui, and by Denise Linn in Interior Alignment Feng Shui. She also has studied extensively with R.D. Chin.

Today, she offers her clients feng shui consultations, design and color coaching, custom interior design based on feng shui principles, and clearing and blessing ceremonies. She also hosts feng shui classes, writes a weekly "Simply Feng Shui" column in The Desert Sun, and has at least one book project underway at all times.

In her private time, Kathleen enjoys reading, golf, foreign and independent films, playing with friends and family, and learning Argentinian Tango, Cha Cha, and Swing dancing with her sweetie, Dave.

Risa works with her clients and their homes and offices in a variety of ways all aimed at bringing balance and comfort into their space. She incorporates the use of color, furniture placement, and organization to create environments that feel good.

Risa works on a variety of projects: homes that are overwhelmed by years of hoarding, clients that are struggling during a transition in their lives, clients that have moved into a new home and can’t seem to “get it right” in the new place, basic organization of the infrastructure (closets, cupboards, garages), integrating a couple moving in together, and interior re-design. She also does space clearing and blessings.

She is a certified Advanced IA Practitioner and continued her education through research and years of experience in people’s homes and offices. She is currently earning her Masters degree in psychology which feeds her fascination about early environment effects and how people respond to different types of structure.

Oi Servais

oiservais@aol.com
oiservais@hotmail.com

Oi grew up in a little bustling town on Korat, Northeastern Thailand. Her mother ran a shop selling temple ceremonial items, and everything used by the monks. Her mother knows everything there is to know about a monk's life in the temple. For instance, a monk fashion of safron robes were many different shades with different methods of dyes. Monks would wear sabong, Jeevorn, Sabai, Pa aab, etc. All kinds of suttras, chanting, books, Dharma texts were available in paper books, carved in leaves with intricate gold and red trimming containers, in in the form of red and gold posters hanging all over the shop.

Oi's life as a child prepared her for her passion in life today. Growing up, Oi had the daily routine of giving alms to monks every morning at daybreak. Surrounded by all the temple objects both in the shop and at home, she was also surrounded by her fathers many Bouddha images of different styles, colours and poses. The one she remembers so well is the Golden Bouddha. While helping her mother at the shop, Oi had been reading all the suttas, chanting books, Pali texts, Dhamma teaching verses. At every morning and night, her father would chant the Buddha Jaya Mangala Gatha. She had yet to learn that the vibration of the Gatha has beat it's rhythm within her life all along. It has accompanied her heartbeat.
