What Does Your Logo Say About Your Business?
Creating a logo for your business is one of the first things that you do when setting it up. But don't do this in haste. A logo communicates so much about how you feel about your business and the energy that you will attract. Of course, the energy of the logo should be reflective ...Read more.
Where the Family Sits for Dinner
Where your family members sit for dinner and the type of table you sit at has an impact on the family dynamics and your Feng Shui. Let me demonstrate to you: One of my client's was the only female in the household with a husband and several young boys and she didn't feel supported ...Read more.
Support the Father Energy of Your Home
The Father, according to Chinese culture and Feng Shui, represents Heaven, the Creative force, and strong yang energy that complements the Mother or receptive yin energy. The Father energy is important to everyone, and most importantly the male head of household (whether or not he's a father). (Each of the Bagua areas represent a ...Read more.
Importance of the Front Door
In just about every workshop and lecture that I do, I ask the participants if they use their front door. Typically half of the audience raises their hands – just half! Does that amaze you? Not me! The reason for this is due to the architecture of our homes. So many of our suburban homes ...Read more.
Unusual Work Spaces

What’s up with Green Walls?
Green walls are sometimes more than walls made from recycled content or a more sustainable material. The kind of "green" that I mean here is a wall covered with greenery, aka plant life.

Creating a Feng Shui Garden: Metal Element
I love incorporating the 5 natural elements into a garden setting. Metal is especially fun as it is a great hard scape material and is represented by round and oval shapes. Also, the colors of white, silver and gold are metal. Metal represents refinement and boldness. A little goes a long way. What Not ...Read more.
