Feng Shui has been a long time passion for Helen, even before she knew of the practice. Intuitively, at only 8 years old, she began moving furniture around to improve the feel of the room and "knowing” that specific colors were needed in certain areas. In 1987, she was introduced to Feng Shui, “The Art of Placement”, by a man from China. This inspired her and ultimately lead to the development of her own practice.
Helen is a formally trained Feng Shui Expert; her instructors include Master Cheung Kwong Yin of Hong Kong, Terah Kathryn Collins of the Western School of Feng Shui and Yasha Jampolsky of the New York School of Feng Shui.
She has taught Feng Shui at the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing in Culver City, California and gives introductory seminars monthly at Whole Foods Market in Thousand Oaks, CA.

Client Comments...
"I deeply appreciated Helen's approach. She showed me how to move into this new 'space' at a pace that I was comfortable with, and I was also 'allowed' to keep stuff that I thought may not be very Feng Shui!"
"I was really blown away by the ideas and expertise that Helen brought and how she helped me to create things in my style, incorporating both a homey feel and all the technology that I love!"
"I was surprised by how intimate the consultation was and very impressed by how professionally Helen handled it."
