Feng Shui might seem mysterious at first, but at it’s heart, it’s a beautifully practical system for creating harmony between your home and your life. Two of the most powerful tools I use when assessing a space are the Bagua Map and the Five Elements. These ancient frameworks help reveal where energy is flowing well in your home and where it’s stuck or out of balance.
Whether you’re craving more clarity, abundance, love or ease, these principles show us how to make intentional changes that shift the energy - and your results.

The Bagua Map is an essential tool in Feng Shui practice, dividing your space into eight areas, each corresponding to different aspects of life.
