Biography

Like so many of us, I live across multiple worlds. We take on various roles: feng shui teacher, father, soul coach, husband, space clearer, corporate executive, oracle card reader, project manager, energy healer, the list goes on. It can be challenging as we move from the responsibilities of one role to another, trying to find that perfect balance.

I have found in my many years of following passions empowered by Denise Linn’s certifications — Interior Alignment(R), Soul Coaching(R) — and mentoring multiple Linn Academy programs, balance can be found when we engage with nature, honor our own unique gifts and live authentically.

Being authentic no matter your role brings peace and balance to your life.

Even in my more then 25 years working in the corporate world, I have found I can share my gifts and passions through feng shui classes, in-office space clearing ceremonies, guided meditations — 1 on 1 and across my global organization to more than 300 people — and soul coaching workshops, and not only do I find greater balance for myself but others have found new ways to create balance in their own lives.

This is my journey — helping you see your own path to balance and authenticity. Giving you the tools and techniques you need to not only find your authentic self, but to live true to your soul’s yearnings.

I would be honored to guide you on your path. Before you decide, it’s helpful to learn more about my personal journey.

My story with energy began as a young child when at 5 I started living nine months of my life in the Midwest and the remaining three on the East Coast. While each place held loving support from my family, the environments themselves varied significantly.

In the Midwest, I lived in multiple Chicago suburbs where conveniences like grocery stores and malls were abundant. On the East Coast, I looked out upon beautiful rolling hills and mountains in the distance, and would need to drive 20 minutes to find a town with a department store.

While not fully conscious of it at the time, each home offered a different energy. In the Midwest, the small apartments contrasted significantly from the single family home with a small grove of 7-foot tall bushes along the side of the house. These in turn marked a significant departure from the large first floor space with the large picture windows looking out on a beautiful campus with buildings over a hundred years old on the East Coast.

It had such an impact on me that I found myself rearranging my room every few months because I was looking for a different feel to my space. It was as if I wasn’t comfortable unless my personal space changed regularly. So at an early age, I was given the opportunity to experience the energy of space in many environments. One thing remained constant – I always felt like I lived in a home – not a house, not an apartment, not a dorm.

My connection to nature became another significant part of my story. I liked to pretend to be other creatures – a common childhood drama. I found though that my love for animals stemmed from my love for nature and it was among the trees, grasses, rocks, ponds and fresh open air that I felt connected to something bigger than me. Some might call it God, but I wasn’t raised to trust the god espoused in churches, so I searched for something else.

It led me to what some call the occult – tarot cards, palmistry, astrology and attending psychic fairs regularly. I delved into several aspects, but wondered who was I to tell someone else their fortune when it was really best for them to tap into their own guidance? So I kept looking.

Until I found a special book: Sacred Space by Denise Linn. From the moment I started reading, I felt a connection to everything she wrote. It was as if I had finally found someone who could put into words the beliefs that I had held within me, and intuitively known all my life. It was my first exposure to Feng Shui, and it set me on a course to devour books on the topic and take classes whenever I could find one. My goal; however, was to train with Denise someday. She had started a Feng Shui school, the International Institute of Interior Alignment®, and I had written to her to ask if I could take her course. She lived out of the country at the time, and wasn’t offering any classes in the U.S.

Years passed, and I was planning to take another certification course when she let me know she had moved back to the states and was offering the course. I jumped at the opportunity to become certified in Instinctive Feng Shui™ and Seven Star Blessing™ Space Clearing and continued to take her courses to become a master teacher.

Since becoming part of The Linn Academy school of graduates, I’ve expanded my learnings to include Soul Coaching(R) and had the honor of mentoring multiple Denise Linn online programs and become a mentor to several of her programs. I’ve also had the privilege of supporting The Linn Academy graduates in multiple conferences, across social media platforms and specialized offerings to its members.

 

Testimonials

“Recently I fell into dark period where I was unproductive; I felt my energy was stuck and I couldn’t move forward with even simple tasks I set for myself. Bill helped guide me to rearrange my office, allowing for more energy and productivity to flow. A simple change in desk layout opened up new avenues for me; I feel comfortable in my office for the first time and within one day I felt my energy renewed as I was able to check tasks off the list again. Thanks Bill!”

“After Bill did his consultation, in which I was concerned for my safety because of activities happening at the home next door, one of these neighbors coming over to my house. I was on the phone at the time but my door was open and I distinctly remember not wanting to speak to them. Strangely, despite their attempt to enter my home, they couldn’t seem to cross the doorway inside. I feel it’s a direct result of the work Bill did for me.”
