I’m a life-long
learner, and I’ve discovered that most of my clients are
too. Like me,
they aspire to become more conscious and aware, happier,
more creative, and more prosperous. I view every meeting
with my clients as an opportunity to learn from each
other as we create healthy environments.
I first learned about Feng Shui through a book,
The Western Guide to Feng Shui by Terah Kathryn
Collins, which I consider one of the best books on the
subject. Terah distills the ancient knowledge of the
early practitioners into Essential Feng Shui® , an
approach that is accessible and transformative.
I immediately hired a Feng Shui consultant
and was amazed to discover that by moving one chair in
my living room, the energy of the entire room changed
for the better. Subtle, yet powerful, I thought.
After 22 years as an executive fundraiser, I
wanted something more. I enrolled in the
Western School of Feng Shui in San Diego and never
looked back. In 2001, I launched my own business—Inner
Vision Feng Shui.
Why “Inner Vision”? Because Feng
Shui is not just about arranging furniture. It’s about
living and working more consciously in our personal
environments in a way that promotes our emotional,
spiritual, and physical well-being.
 Feng
Shui has become a way of life. I stay current by
continuing to learn from well-known teachers of Feng
Shui. I’m certified by two schools, the Western School
of Feng Shui and Interior Alignment™, which was
established by Denise Linn. My teachers have included
Terah Kathryn Collins, Alex Stark, Mary Dennis, and R.D.
Chin, among others.
 I
continue to study modalities that relate to Feng Shui
and the human journey. I’m a Level II Reiki Practitioner
and an Angel Therapy Practitioner, having studied with
Doreen Virtue. I’m certified in Space Clearing though
the Interior Alignment school and have also studied
Space Clearing with Karen Kingston. I use flower
essences, sacred geometry, and angel readings in my
work.
Feng Shui’s close relationship with design takes me
back to my design roots. I’m a graduate of the Parsons
School of Design in Environmental Design, and I’ve
worked as an interior designer in New York City. I’m
also a certified Feng Shui Redesign practitioner. My
design background gives me an edge when recommending
Feng Shui solutions that involve interior design, such
as the layout of floor plans, furniture style and
arrangement, and color choices.
I also hold a Master’s Degree in Arts Management from
American University. During my nonprofit career, I
managed a dance company and raised major gifts for prominent
national and international organizations.
In an even earlier life, I was a philosophy
major at Northwestern University. These early
studies piqued my lifelong interest in the fundamental
questions of existence and being.
For anyone who thinks Feng Shui is a lot of
“snake oil” or that it’s too “Chinese-y,” I can
only say: “Give it a chance. It can transform your
life.” It has certainly transformed mine. I will never
look at a space the same way again. To me, every space
has meaning. Although I struggle like anyone else with
clutter, my two homes are my “partners.” If I feel out
of balance, I need only look at my living and work
spaces for clues to re-balance. My most gratifying
moments are when clients tell me how Feng Shui has
empowered them.
