Interiors Rooted in Nature, Aligned With Your Energy

Blending Classical Feng Shui, BaZi, and intentional design to create spaces that support clarity, performance, and well-being.

Your space begins with you.

We start by mapping your personal energy using BaZi and Classical Feng Shui—so that every design choice is purposeful. Whether it’s your workspace, your home, or a major life transition, we align your environment to support your path with clarity and intention.

Reveal What’s Holding You Back — and How You Can Move Forward

Every home holds a story — not just in how it looks, but in how energy moves through it.

At Balance By the Bay, we use authentic Feng Shui methods, including the 24 Mountain compass overlay, to evaluate you and your home’s precise directional energy.

Combining this evaluation with your unique BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny) charts allows us to identify energetic imbalances that may impact sleep, communication, focus, or emotional well-being.

This level of personalized analysis allows us to create intentional solutions (including through your home’s architecture, interiors and landscape), transforming your home into a space that promotes emotional harmony, ease of daily life, and aligned family dynamics.

Why Your Home’s Energy Matters

  • Woman balancing on driftwood at a pebble beach with ocean background.

    Physical Well-Being

    Stagnant or blocked energy creates physical symptoms—chronic fatigue, disrupted sleep, and persistent health concerns that conventional solutions can't address.

  • Top view of a cozy living room corner with a round table, open notebook with a pen, a green teapot, a cup of tea, a plant, a soft beige throw blanket on a sofa, and a textured rug.

    Effects on Daily Life

    Your home's energy determines whether your space energizes or drains you each day. Ever notice how some rooms feel uncomfortable even when they look nice? That's because good design goes beyond pretty colors and trendy furniture—it's about creating spaces that actually support how you live and feel.

  • Scenic view of a frozen lake with rocks and trees, surrounded by snow-covered mountains, as the sun sets behind the trees, casting a golden light across the landscape.

    Mental Clarity

    Unbalanced spaces create problems in both directions. Too much yin energy can cause illness, mental cloudiness, focus problems, and creative stagnation. Too much yang energy leads to overstimulation and excessive activity.

    Emotional Harmony

    Spaces with disturbed or conflicting energy—not always visible—become breeding grounds for conflict, emotional tension, and relationship strain that disrupt your peace.

Insight

Bazi 八字 (Four Pillars of Destiny)

A Bazi consultation reveals your unique elemental composition at birth + your potential.

This ancient system reveals your personality, strengths, and life path potential. Through your elemental preferences (useful elements), the chart indicates which areas of your home are helpful and which you should avoid.

We recommend starting with Bazi before Feng Shui, as this allows us to customize adjustments specifically for you.

Alignment

Feng Shui 风水

Classical Feng Shui is about optimizing your living space for your benefit.

We use the home’s compass direction, year of construction, birthdate of occupants, and the floor plan to understand the energy blueprint of your home and how it affects those living there.

Using classical systems (Landform, Eight Mansions, and Flying Star Feng Shui), we identify opportunities and challenges, giving you the power to shape your environment and fortune.

Expression

Design Solutions

Interior design that aligns you with your home.

Interior design should improve your daily life and focus on your needs. Elements are selected for their practicality and beauty while addressing energy flow. Your home should feel authentically yours without looking like it’s been feng shui-ed.

By understanding how you fit energy-wise with your home, we deliver transformational solutions, including space planning, color consulting, custom fixture sourcing, and thoughtful styling that reflects your story in a supportive home.

What Makes This Different

  • Classical Compass Method

    We use the 24 Mountain Luo Pan compass, which divides direction into detailed 15 degree segments, beyond just North-South. This allows for pinpoint accuracy in aligning you with areas in your home that are beneficial to you.

  • Flying Star Feng Shui

    Rather than relying on static “rules,” we assess the energies present in your space and other cyclical changing ones using Flying Star analysis. This reveals how Qi moves over time — and how to activate or remedy it based on your floor plan, orientation, and structure.

  • Personalized with BaZi

    Your BaZi chart (Four Pillars of Destiny) reveals your elemental strengths, challenges, and timing cycles. We use this to customize every design or Feng Shui recommendation, ensuring it supports your potential and desired path — not a one-size-fits-all formula.

  • Integrated Design

    Our interior design process is informed by directional data from your home’s energy map and insights from your individual energetic blueprint to shape design decisions—from spatial layout to material and color selection. The result is an environment that not only reflects your aesthetic, but actively supports your well-being, timing, and life direction.

We take the time to understand your lived experiences, uncovering the energetic roots of recurring challenges and transforming them into catalysts for meaningful change.

Our holistic process creates environments that truly resonate — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
