Sum Faht Feng Shui
"Our entire biological system, the brain, and the Earth itself, work on the same frequencies."
Nikola Tesla
"The visible world is the invisible organization of energy."
Heinz Pagels
Ever found yourself getting oddly agitated and uncomfortable, or irritable in some places?
Have you noticed it's easy to focus in some spaces and and in others it's almost impossible to organize your thoughts?
Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt at ease, like you could breath a little easier?
You're responding to the energies in the room, or more accurately, how energies are moving through the space and interacting with you.
The ancients noticed how different places not only felt more comfortable but drew more wildlife than other places with the same resources. They watched how the elements, wind (air), water, earth and fire interacted and the effect those interactions had on people. Commerce, government and leaders, physical health, prosperity, and love. These observations evolved into traditions of working with the natural energies and placement that span the globe. Each has traditions and techniques adapted to suit each topography, climate and culture.
Every space and its inhabitants is an adventure, leading us all to something new and surprising. I have witnessed chronic illness resolve and heal, strained relationships ease and blossom (yes, with even teenagers!), struggling businesses prosper, abundance flood into a household (the good kind of flood) and joy light up troubled hearts. In short, I’ve watched countless dreams and wishes materialize after using these fairly simple, ancient energetic remedies.
How is Sum Faht Feng Shui Different?
There are many schools and traditions of classical Feng Shui, all originating in ancient China. As Feng Shui spread through Asia, the rules were adjusted to accommodate cultural differences, traditions but still adhering to very specific methods and techniques.
Sum Faht Feng Shui is an aspect of an ancient occult spiritual practice that focuses on the Energies of the Heart. The name comes from the Cantonese phrase “soi sum peen fah faht,” which loosely translates to whatever the heart desires will manifest.
Sum Faht Feng Shui is less about rigid rules and rituals than balancing the energies in the space and humans who use the space. Always seeking balance and harmony for all.
Because it is not strict rules, Sum Faht Feng Shui works particularly well in our western culture where the culturally specific references and practices of traditional Feng Shui don't translate. Not to mention that we're using ours spaces in ways the ancients could never have dreamed of!
How I Work
I do not charge by the square foot.
Every space is unique and requires it's own unique approach. A very large space may need only minimal adjustments while a small space can require much more time, skill and attention. Your goals and needs are also a factor in how much time and adjustment is required.
I always work in person.
A building and the spaces within it respond to the people and pets residing in and around it, as well as how it is situated in the surrounding landscape. Those energetic variables simply cannot be accounted for by looking at blueprints or pictures. Being in the space, listening to it and feeling it's essence, is the only way to know what it is asking for and how best to work with it.
I begin with an in situ consultation. We will talk about your goals and I can get a feel for the space and what exactly will be required.
You will receive an estimate outlining everything involved in your project before we begin.
Anything that may impact the cost or change what is in the agreement will be discussed with you before implemented.
The extent of the remedies (painting, acquiring and placing new items, etc.), will determine how long your project will take. It could be as little as a few days or as involved as a few months (if you're building or redoing an entire house for example).
Much like an interior designer, shopping for items and placement are included. You are responsible for making any purchases.
In order to make sure you are happy and the energies settle appropriately, I remain available to you for minor adjustments for 60 days following completion, at no extra cost.
Don't need my services but would like to or support my work,

Thank you!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to believe in energies and woo-woo stuff for it to work?
Responding to energies is as natural and innate as recognizing the smell of ozone makes you aware of rain clouds. You don't "believe in" the energy that comes through the wall plug for it to charge your phone, you just know it will. And you probably don't understand the properties of static electricity but that won't insulate you from getting a very real, albeit small, shock when it discharges through you.
So no, belief in energies is not necessary for Feng Shui to have a profound effect on your life.
I'm renting, so can't paint walls or do anything major. Will that make a difference in how much you can do and the effect?
There is always more than one way to solve a problem and shift energies. We can make your remedies as temporary or permanent as you need.
What if I don't like the colors or the changes you make?
Then I wouldn't be doing my job! The entire idea is the space feels good to you. We work together to harmonize your space to your tastes and requirements.
Can you work with my interior designer?
Of course! The entire point of working with the energies in your home is that it feels harmonious and is appealing to you.

Who knew changing the colors in the bathroom would make bedtime for my toddler SO much easier?! She actually enjoys her bath now and doesn't fuss and fight when it's time to transition to bed. So not only is she sleeping better, I am finally getting some much needed rest!
~ Amy
I can't believe the change in my physical health since we worked together. I know you said not to expect overnight effects, but it feels like my health really did change overnight! I haven't had a really bad day in months and the "down" days aren't nearly what they were, they're fewer and farther apart. I feel like I have my life back! My doctor is baffled and I'm literally jumping over the moon.
~ Caroline
A friend suggested I work with you when I mentioned the sales in my retail shop were dropping, we just weren't getting the traffic we used to. To be honest, I was more than a little skeptical that moving things around would do anything. Boy was I wrong! Within days even our internet sales picked up, customers who haven't been in in years showed up out of the blue and virtually every sale has been than the average for the last quarter. You quite honestly saved my business.
~Thomas
My husband and I had become roommates, we were just going through the motions of life together. It felt like every bit of fun and passion had evaporated between us. Now all of that feels like a lifetime ago! (You weren't kidding when you said you always start in the bedroom for a reason.) I don't really know how to talk about how different it is now and how quickly things changed. Maybe the best part is he thought the whole thing was woo-woo silliness. Yeah. He's your biggest fan now!
