Meet Vicki

Hi!

I am Vicki, Chinese Metaphysics Consultant, Strategic Coach, and author. I’ve been mentoring clients on BaZi / Four Pillars of Destiny, Feng Shui, and the ancient art of war of Qi Men Dun Jia since 2012, while serving as a digital marketing consultant for a variety of brands in LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability). In 2017, I founded Functional Feng Shui to help others manifest their personal and professional visions, using a balanced, holistic approach that combines my knowledge of Chinese metaphysics with my background in business strategies, expertise in health and wellness, and a unique energetic understanding of the body informed by Qi Gong.

My oracle deck on Chinese astrology, The Chinese Five Elements Oracle, was published by Hay House on October 10, 2023. The 60-card deck features the 60 possible combinations of the 10 Heavenly Stems that represent the Yin or Yang qualities of the five elements, and the 12 Earthly Branches, more popularly known as the animal signs of Chinese astrology. Each card, stunningly illustrated by Hawai‘i-based Singaporean artist Candice Soon, offers a modern interpretation of the sixty pillars, grounded in traditional theories of Chinese metaphysics and the wisdom of the Tao.

As an Indonesian-born Chinese, I grew up in a culturally diverse setting, rich in spiritual traditions and ancient customs. I started my metaphysics studies with Western astrology in 2000 after getting my MBA degree in Marketing from NYU. It wasn’t until I answered my ancestors’ calls to go deeper into Taoism, Qigong, and Chinese metaphysics a few years later, however, that I realized how profoundly applicable, strategic, and healing these ancient arts can be as a mindfulness tool in today’s busy lifestyle.

Not a stranger to the world of luxury and design, I started writing professionally in 2001, editing the pages of global fashion magazines, including Harper’s Bazaar Singapore. I’ve offered my daily astrological insights, a unique blend of Chinese and Western astrology on Instagram and Facebook at @5elementsoracle since 2012.

I also hold a real estate salesperson license in California (DRE #02109794). Having worked with real estate agents, developers, and homebuyers in the past few years as a Feng Shui consultant, I enjoyed the interactions and the relationships built so much I decided to get my real estate license in 2020. I’m proud to be able to provide my clients with the most unique real estate experience in Southern California.
