Frequently Asked Questions About Feng Shui

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.

How can Feng Shui improve my home or business?

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 professional Feng Shui consultation?

A Feng Shui consultation begins with a conversation about your goals and how you use your space. In advance, I prepare customized energetic maps of your home or business 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 Feng Shui consultations?

Yes. I offer virtual Feng Shui consultations worldwide. You can upload your floor plan and photos in advance, and I’ll guide you through personalized Feng Shui adjustments as if we were working on-site.

Where are you located?

Clear Space Feng Shui is based in Hudson, New York. I work with clients in person throughout the Hudson Valley, Catskills, and Texas, and offer virtual Feng Shui consultations to clients worldwide.

What types of spaces do you work with?

I work with residential homes, apartments, offices, studios, and commercial spaces. I also collaborate with developers, architects, and designers on pre-construction Feng Shui reviews to support optimal flow, comfort, and long-term value from the planning stage.

What should I prepare before 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, I can provide an easy-to-use tool to help you create one.

How soon will I notice results from Feng Shui?

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 sell a home 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.

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.
