About Deborah
I have been working in some aspects of coaching for nearly 30 years. I began when I was in University as a volunteer counsellor in Women’s Services. I soon discovered a natural affinity and a passion for providing information to people to help them make informed decisions. After graduation I worked as a counsellor in women’s shelters, YM/YWCA programs, and Status of Women outreach programs. Then life took me in other wonderful directions, as an artist and then as an Aromatherapist.
In 2001 I became certified as a Practitioner of Feng Shui and discovered the similarities between feng shui consultations and the counselling work I loved to do. I took further training with Denise Linn in the art of Soul Coaching and began focusing on the bagua map of feng shui as a tool for bringing beneficial change into our lives.
In practicing feng shui I have been witness to some amazing transformations in people. The changes my clients make in their homes often bring about a remarkable change within them. The process opens up something inside, resulting in a tangible sense of peace, beauty, well being and a more purposeful life. I have really come to understand how the home environment and a person’s journey through life are connected.
As the home begins to reflect and mirror back what is in the soul of the person, it opens the way to transformation. Being in a high quality environment allows a person to transform, emerge from their pod and blossom. And the most fascinating thing is that each person defines their own ‘high quality’ environment.
I love to guide my clients as they define - and refine - their environment, explore what is important to them in life and get clear about what they want.

Deborah Redfern is a feng shui teacher as well as a practitioner. She teaches Feng Shui and the Bagua Map, Healing with Feng Shui and Colour, and Manifesting (law of attraction) with the Bagua Map. She is a Master Educator of Interior Alignment™, trained to certify at the Practitioner, Advanced and Teacher levels. Interior Alignment™ combines the arts of Feng Shui, Space Clearing with Healthy Homes. In addition, Deborah was a professional artist for a number of years, and had a healing practice combining Aromatherapy with Therapeutic Touch. Most recently she trained in Soul Coaching with Denise Linn, founder of Interior Alignment™ and Soul Coaching
Deborah combines these modalities in a unique way. For example she has observed that getting the life you want is much easier when you KNOW what you want. The clearer you can get about what you truly want, the easier it will be to draw that to you. Most of us however, are not clearly focused on what we want our lives to be. Deborah uses art therapy techniques such as vision mapping, medicine wheel feng shui and the healing use of colour to get a clear vision of your path. She also uses guided meditation, feng shui astrology and Soul Coaching exercises to help you tap into what makes life meaningful for you.
Through feng shui she works with your Intentions to create alignment between your thoughts, actions and environment. This combination can powerfully propel your life forward. She looks at the messages that are revealed in how you have created your home and how these support or hold you back from realizing your goals and dreams. For example a person who is feeling stuck in their life may have:
- areas of their home that are cluttered, overused or underused
- recurring patterns such as resentment and anger
- unresolved family history
- roles they are unconsciously ‘playing out’
- the same problems or situations come up time and time again — sometimes these even follow people from one home to the next.
Deborah will look specifically at the Family Heritage area of your home, which is associated with breaking past obstacles and going forward and well as the Abundance area, associated with what you feel you deserve in life. She gives specific exercises and bagua map enhancements to work on such as working with symbols, objects, art and colours, removing clutter from the home as well as techniques for working with the emotions and release the past. She may also incorporate aromatherapy blends and energy healing into the sessions.
