Vastu Shastra courses and consultations in English
Understand (and make the most of) the invisible energy that connects your living spaces with your health, well-being and spiritual growth.
There are places where you instantly feel at peace, not knowing why.
Others make you feel uneasy.
VASTU SHASTRA IS AN ANCIENT VEDIC DISCIPLINE WITH OVER 5,000 YEARS OF HISTORY THAT EXPLAINS WHY THIS HAPPENS.
Contrary to what many people believe, it isn’t a religion, nor is it the “Indian Feng Shui”.
It’s an art that brings together science and spirituality, deeply connected with the inner growth of those who practise it.

APPLYING VASTU SHASTRA TO RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND SACRED SPACES INTERNATIONALLY SINCE 2016.
Ever since I was at architectural school in Madrid (ETSAM), I’ve been curious about how architecture affects our health and well-being.
I kept asking myself the same question while working at some of the world’s leading architectural practices, such as Foster + Partners.
Years later, my spiritual journey took me to India where, as a Christian, I embraced the path of Kriya Yoga. It was there where I discovered Vastu Shastra, and I immediately knew I’d found what I’d been searching for all along.
After ten years of research and many journeys to India, I’ve developed my own method, which you can now learn online from anywhere in the world.

What architects, yogis and healers say about working with me
Through my work in construction, I'd always had the feeling that the land itself has something to tell us through the energies present there. Some time ago, I came across Julia through the reflections she shares in her letters, and I was fascinated by the way she explains how our homes influence our lives (from our sleep and health to our relationships and work). When I saw the announcement for this Vastu Shastra for Starters course, I didn't hesitate to enrol. She presents everything with great clarity through her diagrams and explanations, while demonstrating a deep understanding of this ancient science. I wholeheartedly recommend the course. It completely changed the way I understand the relationship with homes and living places.
I would recommend this course because it’s real. Not watered down or marketed. Julia teaches the depth and integrity of the subject. That gives it meaning and the possibility to actually make a difference. This course, and Julia’s approach, has changed my experience of Vastu Shastra. I've learned that the principles are applied through many styles. I've also learned that though Vastu has specific rules, ultimately, the application of those rules needs to include intuition and actual experience - how does it feel, how is it working, how is the energy of the people in the space affected?
"This course was exactly what I needed to free my home from that stagnant energy that was even affecting my mood. It organizes, cleanses, purifies, and blesses not only your house, but also your mind and your deepest self: "your spirit." Julia is a sweetheart; she makes everything easy and fun to understand, with images, her own experiences, and contagious enthusiasm. I recommend this course 100%. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
"Julia has a deep knowledge of the philosophy of Yoga and this is seen in the knowledge of Vastu. The course is very well structured and with a language that is easy to understand for those who are hearing about this philosophy for the first time. The course has a lot of information and it's inspiring for those who receive it, I really enjoyed it! Julia speaks from the heart and this shows in the way she communicates and expresses her knowledge. It's worth the investment. Thank you very much"
I had never heard of Vastu Shastra until, after a very difficult period in my life and feeling that the energy in my home had become heavy, a friend recommended Julia’s Vastu services to me. Vastu had brought about a remarkable transformation in her own life, so I decided to give it a try.
From that in-person consultation onwards, I began to understand the reason behind so many things and to experience my home in a completely different way. Little by little, my vital energy started to flow again, and I regained the feeling of being centred and truly at home, with the clarity to think and act more consciously.
Thanks to this practice, my life began to fall into place so naturally that I was finally able to enjoy myself, travel, and simply let the sea breeze tousle my hair on a cruise.
When we were facing financial challenges, we decided to sell our Pune home but were only getting very low offers. In 2023, I took a Vastu consultation with Julia, who is also my Gurubhai.
Beyond the technical guidance, Julia brought deep spiritual insight. She gently suggested that we inwardly ask our Master, ‘What is my lesson to learn here?’ That one question shifted our energy completely. Within a few months, we sold the house at an unexpected and fair price. The entire process was smooth, aligned, and felt divinely supported.
Julia’s blend of Vastu knowledge and spiritual wisdom creates real transformation. I’m truly grateful.
What Dalalba means:
"The first light of the day that comes from the Divine."
A LIGHT THAT SYMBOLISES AWAKENING TO YOUR TRUE ESSENCE.
Because that’s the highest purpose of both Vastu Shastra and Yoga: to help you discover your inner light, align with your true essence, and aspire to Self-realisation.
