Feng shui is the ancient Chinese art and science of arranging living and working spaces to promote wealth, happiness, harmony and well-being. It centers around energy flow and our personal interactions in a space, how it feels and how it can best support the occupants.

The practice of Classical Feng Shui determines ideal land selection, architectural layouts, building orientation and interior designs. It is a proven system practiced worldwide.

Feng Shui literally means "wind and water", where energy, ch’i (or qi), is dispersed by the wind and collected by the water. The ancient science of Feng Shui studies and explains the quality and movement of the qi in our environment.

Any opportunity that can make life better mustn’t be overlooked in these times. And with Feng Shui accounting for roughly 1/3 of the “luck” in our lives, I personally want mine in balance and enhanced wherever such opportunities exist.

We are born with 3 kinds of luck, the cosmic trinity, that is composed of our heavenly destiny, the luck we bring ourselves in-so-far-as our free will and the luck from the earth which are the patterns of energy that surround and influence us (not unlike the unseen forces of 5G, Wi-Fi and gravity).

More and more people are reporting feeling stressed at work and at home. It is more important than ever to turn your home into a sanctuary, where you can find relief, feel comforted and be supported.

Every home has a Feng Shui blueprint. You are being influenced by the energy whether or not you realize it. But when you do know it, you can manage it, enhance the good energies and subdue the undermining energies.

It is a lost opportunity for anyone that does not choose to tap into the unseen forces in their environment for a better life.
