How much do you really know about Feng Shui? Do you apply it to your life? Have you seen results? My New Years Resolution this year is to give you more! More content, more answers, more of whatever you need having to do with feng shui and healthy, happy living. To start, I thought we could tune into the life of a feng shui newbie and follow her journey as she moves her stuff to change her life. My business manager Sara quickly volunteered for the assignment when I told her this idea because she already is seeing great results …Read More

I understand how some people want to remember the big catch or big kill by creating a trophy for themselves and hanging it on the wall, but let’s break it down from a feng shui perspective and see how these kinds of things stack up energetically in the home: 1. Poor symbolism: By placing this symbol of a fish so high up on the wall, you are now living “below the fishes” which is not a natural pattern usually resulting in residents feeling depressed, stagnant, “underwater” or “can’t get their nose above water” or “drowning in debt”, etc. 2. Potentially …Read More

These are what items I most often consider and their importance with regard to desks and good, permanent full-time jobs. #1 Come to terms with the fact that you actually NEED a permanent desk. After hearing lots of complaints about jobs being unstead, I think “the laptop at Starbucks” method of doing work is correlated. You need physical space and a desk to be established for you to work consistenly. #2 A solid wall is directly behind you (as opposed to glass.) #3 Your desk is big enough to do the job, but not so big you feel dwarfed with …Read More

On average, one third of your life is spent in your bedroom. I think it is practically impossible to “waste money” on creating the perfect bedroom as it is your most impacting room of your house! Here are my tips for bedrooms if your love life seems stale or is non-existent, or your health could use some improvement, or you are looking for a new or different outlook on life: #1 Remove anything that does not support love/passion and health/rest. If your bedroom looks more like an office or multi-purpose room, your environment is working against you. If you want …Read More

I’ve been fast and furiously feng shuiing my way through New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut this week and just have to share some of the great stories that I’ve got! On Tuesday, I went to three clients in a row in NYC….all single gals in one bedroom apartments. I took along Katie, one of the gals that graduated from my online feng shui training program who wanted to shadow me as well. The first gal was an aspiring actor who has been studying the craft and trying to make connections. She doesn’t have an agent or anything like that …Read More

Question: Hi. I have the book, and have been using it extensively over the past few months with definite results. One thing I’ve learned is; not to do too much, too fast-because if something goes wrong, you’re not sure what you did. Last month I was rearranging my teenaged daughter’ s room one morning. I had JUST taken a bulletin board off the wall and removed all of the items, with the intention of painting the border, weeding out some of the seemingly superfluous items and rehanging it (perhaps in a different spot). Among the items were; a photo of …Read More

Question: I just read your book and am now rethinking my decor ideas. I was just getting ready to hang a red curtain in my guest bathroom that falls in the Creativity and Children Gua, and white blinds in a window in the Family Gua window. What would you say to this? Answer: If you only knew how many questions I get like this! The answer is: it depends. Color is one of the MANY items you can use to cure a space, that is true. But unless EVERY SINGLE thing in the room is that same color …Read More

QUESTION: What do you do with a house “love/hate situation?” We love our home based upon location and look, but we’re always frustrated that it doesn’t feel like it supports us in all we do. Even though it is a nice sized house, it seems the whole family is always on top of each other in a couple of rooms. We’re pretty much clutter-free but still feel squeezed in. Am I missing something? ANSWER:First of all, remember that many feng shui principles are based upon observation. If you notice an unwanted life situation consistently coupled with particular living pattern or …Read More

A Living Room Makeover – Good Feng Shui and Design

Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that make the biggest difference in a home…. I had a recent client who had a very traditional home where the living room furniture was set up just as you would have expected it; couch facing the fireplace, rectangular rug aligning with the rectangular room, etc. Nothing wrong with that from a design standpoint, but from a feng shui point of view, it didn’t create “an invitation” for people or energy to enter. It also happened to put a window at the back of the couch and main chair. So, as a solution to solve …Read More
