Conversations with Deborah Miller

Today we’d like to introduce you to Deborah Miller.

Hi Deborah, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I began my career as an Interior Designer, but now I am passionate about the Feng Shui and Dowsing aspect of my work. I was always a very creative child as well as a perfectionist. I loved my art classes and excelled in drafting, design, & space planning. Fortunately, I could incorporate all of these passions into my Interior Design career, which has now spanned over 40 years.

I noticed that the homes and offices of my clients all had unique energy, and I had become very sensitive to the differences between each while spending time there. I recognized that the clients’ personalities had much to do with the energy I felt, but I also knew there was much more to it. I hired a Feng Shui expert to consult on a special fundraising project. The changes she made and the energy shifts that resulted were astonishing! I needed to know more about Feng Shui!

That was over 18 years ago. I was certified as a Feng Shui practitioner in 2008 and am now practicing at a Master’s level. I have studied with and certified by many schools of Feng Shui and Feng Shui programs. Each adds a unique approach to what I can offer clients. I incorporate aspects of them all when working with clients. I am fortunate to have a lot of tools and experience to apply to each project. Every home and project is different, so my approach changes depending on what is needed to create a balanced healthy environment. Regardless, I incorporate Feng Shui principles in everything that I do, even if it is an interior design project. It has become my way of life and has changed how I perceive everything!

Still, something was missing. I realized what it was when I happened to sign up for an introductory energy-dowsing class. I immediately knew I needed to be certified as a Dowser to round out my practice. As a result, I was certified as a Marie Diamond Dowser in 2015. Understanding what is happening energetically in the land surrounding your home or office is critical in creating a healthy environment.

Dowsing has become a passion of mine. The dowsing rods become an extension of my physical body and help me to connect to my higher consciousness when working with clients. I am always thrilled when a client can feel (and sometimes see) the immediate shift in the energy of their space. I love hearing back from clients and hearing about all the positive changes in their lives that were manifested by the balanced Feng Shui and the positive energy of their home. Dowsing has also become very gratifying work for me. The Dowsing adjustments that I make affect not only their home or office but also the surrounding area, creating a healthy foundation for the rest of the work we will be doing.

I am currently the President of the Feng Shui Institute of the Midwest and am very proud of the Feng Shui Community that I have helped to create.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I feel fortunate to have access to wonderful resources and teachers. The struggle for me has been studying and growing the Feng Shui / Dowsing side of my business while also having a successful design career. I combine both aspects in the work that I do.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Another motivating factor for me to learn so much about energy, Feng Shui & Dowsing was to create a healthy environment for my family. I have two very intuitive children creating unique problems in my home. Early on, I had to learn about energy clearing, energy healing, and meditation and apply them to my daily practices. As adults, my girls still use these techniques in their own homes. I am currently co-writing a book with my daughter about these experiences and am excited to share this knowledge with other parents of intuitive children. I am also co-authoring a book to be released this spring with forty-nine entrepreneurs working with healing energy.

Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
Looking back at my childhood, I realize that I was also a very intuitive child, but did not understand all that I was experiencing. However, these life experiences have helped me be the supportive parent I strived to be and spur on the work I am passionate about today!
