With enough advance notice, Kathryn can come to your home and give you a feng shui consultation in person. (Travel expenses and accomodations will be paid for by the clients out-of-town, in addition to normal fees for the project or a flat out-of-town day rate.)

Wheter you live in a house, apartment, or condominium, all of these types of spaces can be evaluated. It does not matter whether you own or rent your home; you are living in the space so it is affecting you.

Many ask, "How can you do a consultation on my home or office without actually seeing it?" Well, obviously an in-person consultation would be best, but what about people who cannot afford to bring a consultant out in-person? Or people who live in areas where there is no experienced feng shui consultants? The truth is, there are many consultants out there whose intentions may be good, but, competent, full-time consultants are few and far between, and with a detailed floor plan, accurate compass readings, and even pictures, Kathryn can give an accurate, detailed assessment of your space.
A phone consultation with Kathryn will run one hour in length and it is recorded so you can listen to the consultation as many times as you like -- because you will always hear something new every time you listen! You'll find out where the power spots are in your home or office and how to maximize these power spots and minimize the problem areas. You'll receive your diagram of your floorplan with notations and the telephone call will be recorded and sent to you in a digital file by email.

Before my consultation, my office was arranged by the "drop method." Wherever the movers dropped my furnishings is where they stayed. However, only a short time after moving to my new office, sales began to drop off dramatically. I couldn't understand what was happening.
Kathryn consulted with me over the phone, helping me to rearrange the entire office, concentrating on the wealth building aspects of my space. I was skeptical until I saw that my earnings rose in record time, helping me to surpass my annual sales goals in less than SIX months!
I can't thank you enough for helping me create the kind of environment that elicits trust and confidence in my clients and total effectivenss for myself. It's the kind of office my employees and I deserved -- and the type of office my clients wanted to see in order to leave their money with me.

What kind of people usually want a Feng Shui consultation?
There are two kinds: those who want to improve their lives and businesses and those who simply want to create comfortable, relaxed, and inspiring environments in their homes and offices. Both understand that to do so is enhancing to their relationships (with family or coworkers), their finances, and their overall well-being.
Why should I have a feng shui consultation?
People are sensitive to their environments today. Feng Shui offers us a way to make our lives and businesses more productive and prosperous by finding out what areas in our homes and businesses are not flowing correctly or are holding us back. Best of all, a feng shui consultation will tell you how to correct trouble spots and boost beneficial areas.
What can I expect from a Feng Shui consultation?
A consultant should first discuss your goals and objectives, whether that is to simply make a more harmonious environment, improve your relationships, or to increase customers to your business. Or, perhaps you have a problem that you would like to solve. If this is the case, the consultant should focus on solving the particular problem and determining what is creating the difficulty. Afterwards, the consultant should suggest adjustments that you can make to correct the problem; these should be fairly easy to accomplish.
How should I select a feng shui consultant?
Get a referral from someone who is happy with the consultant's services. Next, be sure to ask if your consultant has been trained and by whom. Really, the best way is to simply ask people for recommendations for consultants who have gotten them good results. Lastly, you might want to ask if the consultant will be using a lo pan. This is the most important tool for assessing the feng shui of your space.
What is your experience?
My background includes over 14 years of Feng Shui study and professional practice. I am also a Certified Master Practitioner, having studied feng shui in Asia.
Most notably, I practice Compass School feng shui, Eight Mansions, and Flying Star. This is the feng shui information that you will be reading about in The Red Lotus Letter, my weekly email feng shui newsletter.

Kathryn’s feng shui consultations are amazing and she has done them for both my home and my business. She is so knowledgeable about her work that it sometimes seems like she’s psychic. The things she can tell you about your house or office is always so interesting and the information right on.
I have had her consult me every time I move to a new house and every time I move to a different office. I would never make a move without consulting with her first. Being an acupuncturist, I understand how important it is to have energies well aligned and flowing freely. Kathryn helps me apply accupuncture to my space to keep them– and my life flowing smoothly and abundantly. It just makes perfect sense and not only can I tell the difference it makes, so do my patients.
She told me about my new condo and how it could help me with public relations. Then, right after that the local newspaper came to our office to write a story on us. Business has been great, so now I will be moving my business to a larger office with more treatment rooms which has always been my wish.
Need a quick assessment of your home or office? Kathryn can answer some quick questions, a advise you on how to maximize your energy & success with, as always, an eye toward feng shui.
