BIO
About Susan
Before Clear Space, Susan Domelsmith Cabral was a sustainable jewelry designer in Brooklyn, with high-profile clients and her pieces on the cover of Vogue. She had critical acclaim with unpredictable revenue. Then a friend rearranged her studio, moving the desk into command position, opening up the sightlines, and making room for a big order to find its way in. The next week, one did. That was the moment Susan knew.
Every phase of the path before Clear Space still contributes to the practice. The fashion and styling years sharpened Susan's eye for what a room is quietly saying about the person inside it. The psychology background gave her a vocabulary for why that matters; how a space shapes mood, focus, and self-image, whether the inhabitant is paying attention or not. Classical Feng Shui training adds frameworks for moving from observation to intervention. Susan trained under Master William Spear and was certified by Master Roger Green.
Most Feng Shui consultants work in one modality. Susan works in several at once: Compass, Flying Star, Eight Mansions, Bagua, Ming Gua, alongside Reiki-informed space reading. The reward for working this complex and unique methodology is a more insightful read on what a space is asking for, and a clearer path forward for the people inside it.
The Clear Space practice is educational. The goal of a consultation is to leave the client more fluent in their own home or workplace than they were.
"I can help you open the pathway to manifesting the life of your dreams, but
you are the one who will travel there."
— Susan Domelsmith Cabral

What is Feng Shui and how does it work?
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese system for arranging spaces to improve balance, harmony, and well-being. It examines how layout, furniture placement, color, and environmental elements influence the flow of energy (chi) and how that energy affects daily life, health, relationships, and prosperity.
Is Feng Shui a religion?
No. Feng Shui is not a religion. It is a practical design and energy-based system rooted in observation of nature and environmental patterns. Feng Shui can be practiced alongside any spiritual belief system -- or none at all.
What are the benefits?
Feng Shui helps improve the function and energy flow of homes, offices, and commercial spaces. Clients often experience greater clarity, vitality, productivity, and emotional ease after implementing Feng Shui recommendations. Feng Shui can also support positive shifts in relationships, financial flow, and overall harmony.
What happens during a session?
Our flagship offering begins with a conversation about your goals and how you use your space. Customized energetic maps of your home or business are prepared in advance, using Classical Feng Shui systems, including the Bagua, Eight Mansions (Ba Zhai), Flying Star Feng Shui, and incorporating your own personal Ming Gua lucky directions. During the session, we review your floor plan and walk through each area with specific recommendations for layout, furniture placement, color, elemental, and energetic balance. After the consultation, you receive a detailed written summary and a follow up email with relevant links or items to incorportate. In-person consultations also include a space clearing and energetic reset. Sessions are equally effective whether conducted in person or virtually.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes, virtual Feng Shui consultations are available worldwide. Upload your floor plan and photos in advance, and Susan will guide you through personalized Feng Shui adjustments as if you were working on-site.
What types of spaces do you work with?
Residential homes, apartments, offices, studios, and commercial spaces. Susan also also collaborates with developers, architects, and designers on pre-construction Feng Shui reviews to support optimal flow, comfort, and long-term value from the planning stage.
How should I prepare for my Feng Shui session?
Before your consultation, please share your floor plan, address, and birthdates (used to calculate lucky directions) at least one week in advance. It’s also helpful to consider which areas of life you’d like to support, such as health, relationships, career, or finances. If you don’t have a floor plan, an easy-to-use tool will be provided to help you create one. Other than that, leave your place how it usually is! It is best for Susan to see how you are authentically using your space.
How soon will I notice results?
Some clients notice shifts in energy and clarity immediately, while others experience gradual changes over weeks or months. Results depend on consistency and how fully the recommendations are implemented. Many clients report long-term improvements as the space continues to support them.
Can Feng Shui help a home sell faster?
Yes. Feng Shui can make a home feel more welcoming, balanced, and emotionally appealing to buyers. Feng Shui for selling, combined with space clearing, can help refresh a property’s energy and support a smoother, more aligned sales process.
