What Is Feng Shui? 

Feng Shui is a 5,000 year old Art and Metaphysical Science that promotes living a wholistic healthy lifestyle. Origins of Feng Shui where first recorded during the Tang Dynasty in China. The Form School and Compass Method are among the first Feng Shui practices to be utilized and as knowledge, technology and humanity evolved, so did the approach to Feng Shui. Today, Feng Shui is evolving into a universal language that is literally bridging cultural and societal beliefs and lifestyles from around the world. So what is Feng Shui? In essence, you are purposely participating in changing the energetic frequencies of your home, land and self to align with your life's natural rhythms (intentions, divine timing and daily choices you make in life). This could be accomplished through various techniques (Ba-gua Map readings, Flying Stars. Bazi-charts, Compass Method, Five Elements, Bau-Biology, Environmental psychology, etc).

How Long Does a Feng Shui Consultation Take?

Over my 23 years in practice, most of my in-person sessions have been between 1 - 3 hours at most, let that be for residential and business locations. About 20% of those sessions that have ever gone into the 4 - 8 hour consultation range has been due to varying situations, such as with the size of the home, building, land, or length of a new development project that requires my services. Otherwise, most Feng Shui Consultations only take 1 - 3 hours long for the average Feng Shui client. For our Feng Shui services, we don’t always need to be on site. For clients who opt in for receiving notes for additional support, they are given a customized manual of notes with what and how to make al the changes, paired with recommended places to shop if need be. Each client is also gifted with unlimited follow ups via text messages and email. Both the notes and unlimited follow ups have proven themselves to be a great help and also provide a platform of accountability with each client as they navigate personal growth and transformation.

How Can I Benefit From Feng Shui?

Literally, in all ways. No matter how big or small the changes made, you could always benefit (even the skeptics). Over the years in practice since 1997, we have seen Feng Shui:

• Attract romance and authentic relationships

• Find a career you love and connect with your life's purpose

• Nurture your family and reduce stress

• Heal from the loss of loved ones

• Offer wholistic assisted healing and support with fertility, chronic illness, chemotherapy and health related treatments

• Enhance the growth of your business and increase the overall revenue

• Bridge cultural divides through diplomatic discussions from a Feng Shui perspective

• Learn how to live a balanced lifestyle

• See the solution set to life challenges with clarity vs from a place of fear

• Become more at peace and calm within your heart and self

• Cultivate stronger and healthier relationships dynamics at work, with family, your spouse and most importantly with yourself

• Increased wealth and better health (emotionally, mentally, physically and spirituality)

• Better focus, inspiration and creativity

• Overall, you welcome transformation into your life. What type of transformation? That all depends on your intentions for change.

Can the Changes be Instantly?

Yes, and I say that from my own experiences with feng shui and reported experiences from clients, including skeptical clients. Each person’s time frame for change will be different and that can vary due to if the person is truly open and ready to participate in the needed change. 

When Is The Best Time to Schedule a Feng Shui Consultation? 

Anytime is the best time! The most common reasons feng shui consultations are requested could be if a person is feeling "stuck" on a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level. The reasons could range from the need to increase finances, start or maintain a healthy career, travel more or manifest a "soul mate." Sometimes there could be more intimate requests such as for assisted help with fertility treatments and other wellness/medical situations. On a more practical level, feng shui consultations are requested from clientele who need feng shui guidance during a real estate development project or for remodeling a home or office space.  Perhaps they need a "fresh start" with some simple tips and suggestions or just want a Space clearing and Blessing Ritual. Bottom line, you know when it's needed in your life and you just need to be committed to the process. 

Is a Feng Shui Consultant, Expert, and Master Considered a Life Coach?

Yes, yes, and yes. Much of the advice shared with you could be a blend of Feng Shui studies (a particular practice or combination), first hand life experiences, and the life coach learning through the power of grace and sharing that information with you. Feng Shui helps to identify additional subconscious challenges ('negative programs') that are looping within a person's mind. There have been situations where the Feng Shui inside a home and office is right on point (meaning all is good) but, the mindset of the client, behavior and/or balance of emotions is not, which creates blockages (free will). This is why spiritual psychology, certain aspects of Shamanism, emotional intelligence and other forms of healing are very beneficial and complementary to the practice of Feng Shui. The goal of the consultant (to their discretion) is to establish a method of teaching Feng Shui that is easy for each individual client to understand, implement and maintain. 

What Method Of Feng Shui Is Best?

It depends on what method of Feng Shui you believe in. Our practice utilizes several forms of Feng Shui including Ba-gua Map Readings, The Five Elements, Bön Buddhist Tradition, certain aspects of Shamanism, Mystery School and Emotional Intelligence, as to name a few.. It's always a great idea to conduct your own research and call your local certified consultant to help clarify questions you may have in regards to understanding what is the best method or combination of methods for you.

Do You Offer Weekend Discounts? 

We do not offer weekend discounts.  Visit our Feng Shui Consultations page directly to view services and fees or Contact Us directly.

Do You Need a Compass to Practice Feng Shui?

Depending on the method of Feng Shui you use, that answer could be yes or no. If you are using the Lou Pan (Classical Feng Shui), than yes. If you are using the Ba-gua Map method, than no (and the directions are still integrated into the map). It's important to remember, the teachings of Feng Shui derive from energy, which is in everything! This includes the Earth, the cosmos, objects, sound, color frequencies, your own heartbeat, aura vibrations and thought patterns. We live in a multi-dimensional universe where past, present and future moments are constantly blending together to help us grow and ascend.  

Does Feng Shui Really Work?

Based on my years of study, being in practice, living the lifestyle daily and being a witness to my client's and student's life transformations, I humbly respond, Yes it does work. I am currently woking on a book to help offer scientific data and discussion. For the time bering, please feel free to read our testimonials page. Honestly, the best way to know if feng shui works, is to be open minded and experience Feng Shui for yourself. 

Is Feng Shui a Religion?

Feng Shui is not a religious practice. It could however include your own personal beliefs, practice of faith and/or spiritual practices. This means, you share the practice of faith you personally believe in and the feng shui consultant can utilize that terminology and symbolism when appropriate to customize the suggestions. I work with clients who practice Christianity, Catechism, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Voodooism (just another word for spirituality), Atheism and more. Feng Shui is a lifestyle that helps you to develop healthier habits and practices in all that you do while enhancing your inner feng shui and outer feng shui enviroments. 

Do I Have to Repaint My House or Some Rooms to Promote Good Feng Shui?

No, you do not have to in Western or in Classical Feng Shui practices. You could add accents of color (just a touch) to help enhance the energy flow. If your budget allows the option to paint and you are in the market to paint, then go for it! 

How Long Does It Take Before I See Results?

Every client is unique, which means time frames for results vary. We have recorded results taken place within seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months, to a full year from the date of the initial feng shui consultation. Much of the outcome is cultivated by from how willing the client is with participating in the process of inner work and changes they impleentn to the home or office. 

Are you an Interior Designer? 

No. My main focus and specialty is Feng Shui-ing your home, office, and land to help increases the spiritual and energetic flow of energy. Are aspects of interior design integrated into the Feng Shui-ing process and consultation? Yes. It's important to note, for anyone looking to fully remodel their home, combining a Feng Shui Consultation with the service of an interior designer, is strongly recommended. The interior designer provides access to physical furnishings, curation, procurement and installation. As a team, we'll complete the project. If you need recommendation, that can be provided for Long Island, NY. I am in the process of connecting with New York City Designers and Los Angeles Designers.
