Consultations

The proof is in! After thousands of home and business feng shui consultations, I have seen the results of using feng shui, the ancient Chinese method of harmony and balance. It works again and again!

My clients report daily the exciting results of their successes in home and business ventures. Why? Because using the eight-sided bagua, a mathematical tool, I am able to map the structure in question and locate the problem areas of the dwelling, which reflects to owners’ actions, thoughts, and current energy.

Working as a feng shui consultant, I first determine what is going on in your life and what changes in the home I need to reinforce and promote those changes. First I examine the three levels of your life: the environmental, the physical, and the mental and the spiritual.

Many good how-to books have been written on feng shui. The applications of this art have been expressed by several schools of thought. Just as there are many recipes to bake bread, there are many types of feng shui applied when calculating the floor plan.

Much confusion has resulted from these different options. My suggestion is find a school of feng shui such as compass, pyramid, form school, geomancy, Black Hat, etc., which resonates with you. All schools work, but I find for the general population in the West Black Hat is the choice of simple but extremely effective approach. Using other books to complement suggestions on cures, corrections and enhancement are encouraged after the home is mapped correctly.

To begin the consultation, a floor plan is provided by the client. Next the bagua or template containing the nine stations of life opportunities is positions over the drawing, to locate troubled areas of the home or business in question.

For personal reasons I prefer to consult one-on-one with the client or couple to investigate past situations which could be causing the current blockage in career, family, money, or the person’s love life. Clues to environmental, physical or mental frustration can be located in current or past living spaces. Our bad habits are revealed in the choice of floor plan. Don’t despair! Our good decisions are also revealed in the floor plan.

By analyzing your choice of house plans, I am able to pinpoint changes needed and adjust the living spaces, which bring about a peaceful flow of balance and harmony. Using feng shui principles or the rules set down 4-500 years ago by this ancient Chinese culture, your life becomes realigned. A course of direction is drawn over the floor plan in colors related to each of the nine stations. After the map is completed, it can now be used by the individual or professional to design a perfectly feng shuied living space.

My consultations are a private lesson in encouraging chi or the breath of life to enter the home. Whether it is a sick or runaway child that needs attention or stopping a runaway money problem, there is a feng shui solution.

I wear many hats. Bring 60 years of wisdom to my practice, I provide my clients and students with a type of ‘turbo house therapy’ working quickly, efficiently and humorously toward their future, unblocking many years of sabotage resistance reflected in a current floor plan choice. I open your eyes to why, when and where do you repeat situations.
