Finding the right practitioner shouldn’t come down to luck

It started with my own search for answers

I’ve always loved travelling.

By middle age, I had become financially independent and could travel wherever I wanted. Along the way, I met people who helped me find direction. Those encounters led me to take a closer interest in spiritual and divination traditions.

I spent ten years feeling lost myself. That experience taught me that when you’re unsure where to turn, you don’t need someone to persuade you, or another mysterious explanation. You need someone you can talk to seriously, who is willing to explain things clearly and whose words stand up to scrutiny.

I don’t follow a religion, and I have no wish to encourage blind belief. For me, these traditions offer another way to think about our choices. They are not a reason to hand our decisions over to someone else.

Taking the wrong turns taught me the value of a reliable recommendation

Over the years, I’ve encountered Tibetan lamas, Korean shamans, Thai Buddhist monks, Indian Nadi leaf readings and Indonesian black magic. I’ve also explored Chinese practices such as Zi Wei Dou Shu astrology, BaZi, Iron Plate divination and Qi Men Dun Jia, alongside tarot, Lenormand cards, mediumship and mind-reading practices.

I’ve personally consulted practitioners ranging from the White Dragon King and Peter So to the Thai seer Mor Plai. I’ve also attended blessing ceremonies led by Thai monks, ruesi hermit practitioners and ajarns, and have become friends with quite a few of the people I’ve met.

I’ve met people with real ability, and I’ve had plenty of disappointing experiences: polished presentations with little professionalism behind them; high fees for vague advice; impressive claims that amounted to little more than persuasive talk. I’ve tried consultations that cost nothing and others that cost tens of thousands. Those firsthand experiences shaped my own judgement.

Using an anonymous account on social media, I’ve handled more than a thousand consultations and encountered many different life situations. I’ve come to realise that people don’t need another list of names. They need a practical answer: out of all these people, who can I actually turn to?

I want to share what I’ve learned along the way, so others don’t have to pay as much for trial and error.

A journey we began together

While I was thinking about how to put this idea into practice, I met him on my travels: a young student who wanted to start a business. He was thoughtful, took his work seriously, and had an enthusiasm I particularly admired. I was happy to share my experience and help open a few doors so he could turn that ambition into something real.

We shared the same outlook and quickly clicked. We support each other, and we remind each other why we started: to be useful to people. Making money has never been our first priority.

That was how this feng shui and consultation booking platform began.

Our ambition: a Michelin Guide for this field

Many people are still where I once was—searching through recommendations for a practitioner they can trust, unsure who is right for them or whether a consultation is worth paying for. We hope that one day, people will come here first, as they would turn to a trusted guide.

We don’t want to put one practitioner on a pedestal. We want to share recommendations drawn from our own experiences: what someone specialises in, how they communicate, what you need to prepare, and why we recommend them.

Different practitioners have different styles, and no one will suit everybody. Rather than deciding who is “the best” for you, we want to give you clear information so you can make your own choice.

If someone you know ever asks, “Can you recommend a practitioner I can trust?”, we hope this platform will be the first place that comes to mind. That would make what we set out to do worthwhile.

Every recommendation has a basis—and limits

Every practitioner on this platform is someone I’ve met, consulted or personally experienced, at my own expense. My judgement comes from direct experience, not hearsay.

We want our recommendations to have substance. Fame, presentation and a willingness to work with us are not what we base them on.

We have no wish to make anyone seem infallible. A practitioner’s perspective can help you weigh your options, but your life choices must remain your own. If we find that a practitioner has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, we will remove them from the platform immediately.
