Visual metaphors are a quick on-ramp to making our goals and desires operational. They tell us what we want to hear, remind us to stay focused, and give us that loving nudge we often need.

As a Feng Shui practitioner, what drives my work is passion for helping people to get to know their home's abilities. There are no one-size-fits-all answers.

Often I receive questions about Feng Shui in the context of divorce. Though any guidance related to a deeply personal situation is best given in a 1:1 consult, when it comes to divorce, Feng Shui can help to mitigate bumps in the road and shore up nourishing, beneficial energy.  RESOURCES:   Become Your Own Feng Shui Consultant course | https://simpleshui.com/online-course/   Simple Shui | https:/...

For some people, clearing clutter is an almost religious act – their commitment and reverence for the tidiest of spaces is unrivaled; for others, they prefer all their stuff and don't share the "less is more" belief system.
