More and more Feng Shui consultations now take place online. With the help of modern technology, it is possible to gain a three-dimensional sense of an apartment, office, house, or plot of land. By studying floor plans, photographs, and videos of a space, the Feng Shui consultant can, in a sense, enter that environment—perceiving the flow of energy and identifying where key elements might best be placed: a bed, a bedroom, a work desk, a porch, a well, a garage, or even the house itself.

When a client first reaches out to me, I usually ask for basic information about the property under consideration and about the people who will live or work there. For a Feng Shui analysis, several details are particularly important: the number of people involved, their ages and lifestyles; the floor level; the size of the space; how many rooms there are and which functions are essential for them; the number and placement of doors and windows; the furniture layout, and so forth.
If the consultation concerns a piece of land, the first step is usually to obtain a plan of the plot, along with information about the surrounding landscape and neighboring properties—where the lowlands lie, whether there is a river or lake nearby, where hills rise, and other such features.
In the case of offices, commercial premises, cafés, or restaurants, attention turns to the broader setting: the district, the surrounding landscape, and neighboring buildings. We examine what is located on different floors, where the main entrance and reception are situated, where the principal departments and the offices of key employees are placed, and how visitors move through the space. We also consider elements such as the company’s logo, signage, business cards, and website.

Although there is a general structure to a Feng Shui consultation, every case requires an individual approach. In many ways, each Feng Shui project resembles a patient in a doctor’s care. When we treat or practice prevention in medicine, we work with the person as a whole—not merely with the disease.
Occasionally, a client asks for an analysis of only a single room, often in an effort to reduce the cost or for other practical reasons. Yet “treating” one room without examining the entire apartment or house is rarely effective. It is much like trying to treat one organ or part of the body without considering the other organs and the organism as a whole.
We wish good health to you—and to the spaces in which you live and work. To arrange a Feng Shui consultation, please write to info@bluemountainfengshui.org or choose one of our consultants using the contact information listed on this page. We look forward to hearing from you.
