Feng Shui Solutions takes into consideration all the spaces in your rooms to maximize your health, opportunities, and fortune.  I help you do this through designing the layout of your rooms with furniture placement, wall colors, and accessories.  Your lot also deserves the forethought of properly-placed greenery, hardscapes, and outbuildings.   This is where Feng Shui comes in.

Feng Shui, (pronounced fung-shway), the Chinese Art of Placement literally means “wind” and “water,” and has been practiced in Asia for over 3,000 years.
It reveals how to balance the energies of various spaces to guarantee the health and good fortune for people inhabiting it.   "Feng" means "wind" and "Shui" means "water". Modern terminology translates "good Feng Shui" into “good health, opportunity, and fortune.”  “Bad Feng Shui” can mean loss of fortune and failure.

Originally Feng Shui was used to determine lucky placement of buildings, villages, and farmer’s crops. Today, we use Feng Shui to design our homes and workplaces; creating balance in our lives by proper placement of furnishings, objects; and providing the optimal healthy flow of energy.  Think of it as design and decor with your surroundings in mind!  

Feng Shui is NOT a religion.  In fact, your spirituality and faith in your God helps the reinforcement in Feng Shui.  Feng Shui Clients are Christian, Buddhist, Hindu.... 

BTB Form School is the type of Feng Shui I practice and advise.  It’s a simple yet effective way to assess your Feng Shui health.  One characteristic of this type is its Theory of Relative Positioning.  Basically, the areas of the environment that are actually closest to you most influence your fortune and health.   Feng Shui assessments begin by superimposing the Bagua map (derived from the ancient I-Ching), over your floor plan, using a consistent method.  This is also done to your land plat in the same way.  Each area of your home directly corellates to a defined area on the Bagua.  For example, the left rear corner in everyone's home is always the Wealth area on the Bagua.There is much more involved in this type of Feng Shui, however, it is straightforward, consistent, and easy to follow.   

A Few Feng Shui Thoughts ....

How is your financial situation? Clean your stovetop, and install an aquarium or fountain in the Wealth area of the home. Keep a healthy flowering plant in this area as well.  Decorate with accents of purple, red, blue, and green.  Install a bright light in the Wealth area for a boost anytime.

How is your love life?  Make sure your bed is in a 'commanding position' and if you use nightstands, make sure there are two of equal size. Jazz up the Relationship/Marriage area of the home by placing objects symbolizing romance: two pink candles, two wine glasses, a happy picture of you and your mate. Decorate this area with pink, red, burgundy.  Ask me about what colors your bed linens should, and should not, be; and the best colors to paint the master bedroom are. 

De-Clutter!  No matter which feng shui concepts you add, it is pointless if your home is packed with clutter.  Clutter anywhere results in stagnant energy which is draining and depressing.
