Oi grew up in a little bustling town on Korat, Northeastern Thailand. Her mother ran a shop selling temple ceremonial items, and everything used by the monks. Her mother knows everything there is to know about a monk's life in the temple. For instance, a monk fashion of safron robes were many different shades with different methods of dyes. Monks would wear sabong, Jeevorn, Sabai, Pa aab, etc. All kinds of suttras, chanting, books, Dharma texts were available in paper books, carved in leaves with intricate gold and red trimming containers, in in the form of red and gold posters hanging all over the shop.

Oi's life as a child prepared her for her passion in life today. Growing up, Oi had the daily routine of giving alms to monks every morning at daybreak. Surrounded by all the temple objects both in the shop and at home, she was also surrounded by her fathers many Bouddha images of different styles, colours and poses. The one she remembers so well is the Golden Bouddha. While helping her mother at the shop, Oi had been reading all the suttas, chanting books, Pali texts, Dhamma teaching verses. At every morning and night, her father would chant the Buddha Jaya Mangala Gatha. She had yet to learn that the vibration of the Gatha has beat it's rhythm within her life all along. It has accompanied her heartbeat. 

Oi realized that Bouddha is her Feng Shui.

There was never one day in her formative years that she did not see the Bouddha image. There are Bouddha everywhere in Thailand. In each house, each room, in every office and government building. When traveling to provinces there are Bouddha and temples along the freeway that people can view from their cars. The details of how the golden light of bouddha and wisdom of the Buddha Jaya Mangala Gatha has become the main focus of Oi's feng shui practice. This philosophy is the subject of her upcoming book " The Golden Light Alignment - Wisdom from the Golden Bouddha " to be released in 2005.

The different poses of Bouddha images has been in her life since day one. As a Tuesday child, her birthday Bouddha is the reclining Bouddha. People used to tease her that she was a lazy girl because her bouddha is the sleeping bouddha. Oi has learn a lot later, that the reclining bouddha in essence is relaxation. It reminds her each time she sees it that she needs to slow down and relax. The deeper the relaxation, the better the meaning and the depth of her work. The deeper the relaxation the more genuine meaning of her production and also the deeper relaxation the better production. There is no other pose more suitable that his one for Oi who cannot stay still for even one minute.

After graduation from Chulalongkorn University with a degree in liberal arts, Oi worked for a business magazine in Thailand for one year and then went to work for a Thai trading form in Brussel, Belgium for 6 years. While in Belgium, she pursued her study in Catholique university of Louvain. While she lived in Europe, she met her husband, married and then moved to California where she lives with her husband and three children.

In California, Oi practiced real estate in the East bay for over 8 years. Practicing real estate is where Oi became strongly aware and interested in feng shui and sacred space. She notices that there is something more valuable that she supposed to bring into her real estate practice. This prompted her to seek out the study of feng shui with many teachers, including Karen Kingston, Nancy Santopietro, Melani Lewandowski, Prof Linn Yun and Denise Linn. She recalled her childhood prophecy and the time her boss's feng shui consultant in Belgium said that at the right time, she would practice this art. This is her purpose and destiny. During the powerful Master Teacher training at Denise Linn's International Institute of Interior Alignment, she was able to go back and connect and align herself with her real golden lineage. She felt as if all her bones had become gold dust. She reunited with her father and mother and all the ancestors of her lineage. It was such an intense experience that it confirmed to her this destiny. After the Master Teacher Certification, Oi realized how her childhood and all the permeated her early life had prepared her for her work as teacher and author.

After that intense experience, she has become more and more connected and found out that she can regain this connection each time she touches the Bouddha image. And she can now see the golden light in every one. it has become clear to her that any one who has the calling can use the Bouddha image to align themselves and their space for higher purpose.

Today, Oi spends her time between Pointe Noire, Congo with her husband and Switzerland where her children go to school. And of course Thailand, where she hold her Golden Light Alignment Certification course twice a year.
