Mission

We all share the common desire to have the security of financial abundance, to have strong and fortunate relationships, good health, and the opportunity to fulfill our dreams and goals. Wealth can come to us in many precious forms.

It is my sincere intention to use my training and knowledge to assist you in creating a beneficial environment, by modifying your surroundings in such a way, that their inherent energies may effectively support you in reaching your highest potential.

Red Peony

Many people have inquired about the significance of the name of my company Red Peony Consulting. In bloom the peony is a large abundant and very beautiful flower, inviting butterflies to gardens, thus attracting more life to them. Since the color red is regarded as a vital life giving color, red peonies are particularly admired and highly valued.
In China, traditionally the peony is known as a "royal flower" that symbolizes wealth, honor, nobility, loyalty good marriage and beauty.

My Feng Shui Training

Interior and Landscape Form School
Form School is the most ancient, basic and powerful school of Feng Shui. No special or advanced techniques can have much effect if the Forms are not good.

Rearranging the interior and designing an auspicious landscape can uplift us in many ways, but these shifts are not just psychological. Creating these visible changes also changes the invisible energy flow around us, making it possible for the inhabitants of the space to live and work in a healthier, more productive and better flow of vital energy

Having strong support and beneficial chi flow in the interior as well as in the exterior surroundings of your location is crucial. If there is weakness here, it must be addressed before anything else. This school of Feng Shui focuses on the favorable flow of air, water, light, roads and traffic, as well as the shape of your property and all surrounding structures, plots, and landforms such as hills, mountains, waterways, streets, driveways, or pathways.

Eight Mansions
The Eight Mansions School is a compass school method, used to determine the nature of the directional energies for people and for houses. Each of the eight compass directions resonates to a specific type of magnetic field, and quality of chi.

This is another framework for understanding how the same direction may have different effects on different people. For example, why do certain people sleep better with their heads pointed in a certain direction? Analyzing the interactions of environmental and human chi through the Eight Mansions method we can understand from another perspective why we feel more comfortable or productive in one location rather than another and how to use each direction to best advantage.

Flying Stars and Advanced Flying Star Theory
Flying Stars is a mathematical system that can tell us how and why the quality of chi in a particular location changes over time, and what we can do to continually harmonize with the ongoing energetic changes brought about as Time marches on.
A good practitioner can harness the beneficial chi in the different cycles so that their client buys rents or builds as the chi is strengthening and not weakening

Business Feng Shui
Feng Shui for Business includes an additional very specialized set of techniques.
Feng Shui can support the goal of attaining increased profits, greater name recognition, a harmonious de-stressed and productive staff and an advantageous environment in which to work. Combining Feng Shui principles with sound business practices will give you an edge in the business world.

Water Placement In Feng Shui water is associated with Money Luck. “Waterways” whether they are natural or man made, actual water or symbolic water, are essentially pathways of energy. They have the power to conduct gather and disperse chi. There are at least two specific areas for each particular house, where placing water must be avoided. The ability to tap into the auspicious water chi and activate it with authentic methods and implementations is an advanced skill that can potentially elicit more abundance into people’s lives.

Xuan Kong Da Gua
Da Gua is about the romance of yin and yang. It’s about open and closed spaces, movement and stillness. It’s about finding a good match for these “couples.” The visible forms can be considered Yang, and they must mate with the right type of Yin energy, which includes the timing and invisible chi, in order to conceive and produce an auspicious result. In this school of Feng Shui we incorporate knowledge of the 64 Hexagrams of the I Ching Book of Changes to determine which hexagram is at your front door and which hexagram influences your bedroom, in order to help people to increase finances, improve their health and conceive a baby.
