Marites Allen

Marites Allen, widely known as the Feng Shui Queen, is a Filipina Feng Shui master, author and consultant. In 2013 she became the first Filipina awarded the title of Master in Feng Shui by the International Feng Shui Association. Over more than three decades of practice, she has advised individuals, families, and organizations across more than 100 countries, and is based between Manila, Philippines, and London, United Kingdom.

Early life and education

Allen's interest in Chinese metaphysics and Feng Shui developed over years of independent study and travel, including exposure to teachings connected to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. She holds an MBA from the Ateneo Graduate School of Business, pairing a formal business education with her metaphysical practice.

Career

Allen built her practice around personal Destiny Readings (BaZi astrology), home and office Feng Shui audits, and business consultations on timing and strategy. Her clients have included business leaders, celebrities and public figures, drawn by her approach that blends traditional Chinese metaphysics with practical, real-world guidance.

She is a frequent media commentator on Chinese astrology and the annual Chinese New Year forecast, appearing regularly on Philippine television and in international press. She also hosts Marites Allen Live, a recurring broadcast segment sharing Feng Shui guidance and yearly forecasts.

In 2026, Allen extended her practice into technology with the launch of Destara, an AI-powered "Destiny Guide" trained on her three decades of Feng Shui knowledge, offering guidance to a global audience in over 50 languages.

Philosophy

Allen is known for demystifying Feng Shui for a broad, non-Chinese audience. As she frequently states, "You don't have to be Chinese, it's all about energy,"emphasizing that Feng Shui is "not a religion, not magic, and never a superstition," but a practical framework for aligning one's environment and timing with one's goals.
