Scheherazade Merchant, also known as Sherry, embarked on a remarkable journey from practicing Interior Design for the first 18 years of her work life, to delving into the realm of Chinese Metaphysics. Her curiosity was piqued by observing distinct changes in people's lives after renovating or moving into new premises, prompting her to explore the unseen influences behind these transformations.
This exploration led her to discover the significance of various cultural studies, including Vaastu and Feng Shui, which focus on environmental and spatial energies. By chance, Sherry stumbled upon a course by Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai, which led her to Joey Yap – her primary source of inspiration. This pivotal experience in 2000 marked a turning point, causing her to shift her focus entirely from Interior Design to Chinese Metaphysics.
Sherry's expertise spans multiple disciplines within Chinese Metaphysics, encompassing BaZi (Chinese Astrology), Feng Shui, Yi Jing, Xuan Kong Da Gua, and Qi Men Dun Jia. Her extensive knowledge is coupled with a photographic memory and intuitive judgment, enabling her to offer educated assessments of her clients' issues. These qualities have earned her the reputation of being a respected and globally recognized Feng Shui consultant.
Throughout her career, Sherry has lent her expertise to a diverse range of projects, including residences, offices, factories, airlines, banks, property developments, and schools. Her client base, which includes professionals, celebrities, business leaders, and everyday individuals, spans across various continents. Sherry's collaboration with architects is integral, as she enhances their designs without imposing impractical demands. Her background in Interior Design and family involvement in property development equips her to navigate industry dynamics and zoning regulations effectively.
Since 2012, Sherry has been conducting professional workshops to share her academic and practical experiences, training aspiring students in Chinese Metaphysics careers. Her teaching engagements extend to multiple countries, solidifying her reputation as a sought-after educator.
