Colour therapy is important this time of year! I was able to visit Allan Gardens while visiting Toronto last week, and here are a few pictures to share! Happy Holidays! ~Kathryn kathrynwilking.com…

Read MoreA large majority of our senior population are water-people. These individuals have worked hard in their lives, specialists in their professions and have experienced many of life’s lessons. They bring a plethora of knowledge to the equation. Experience has shaped their philosophy and we look up to them for guidance and direction.

Read MoreHouse Plants Can Purify the Air We will be spending more time indoors over the next few months, so providing a healthy indoor environment for everyone is high on the list! Not only do house plants provide oxygen/carbon monoxide exchange to cleanse the air, some varieties can detoxify! How cool is that? As a feng shui Consultant, I often suggest live plants to counter the effects of EMF’s (Electro-Magnetic Fields) from computers and wireless technology. I recommend many of these…
Read MoreMore and more adults are finding time to have fun! Bringing back a little child’s play can lighten your mood and bring opportunities to meet new people.

They can be reflective, energizing or anywhere in between! ‘Colour’ is one of the basic cures in feng shui. It is one of the easiest cures to comprehend, and yet, it is often subliminal. When connecting with a colour, a purpose arises, a slow churn in the brain to process…hmmm. The task becomes passionate, a drive or a magnetism that resonates within. Our…
Read MoreEvergreen trees are magnificent in the North West part of North America. In fact, they are magnificent anywhere in the world! They stand tall and proud.

Ask Kathryn Hi Kathryn, Thanks for taking the time to look at my office. I work in Toronto at an administrative building close to the U of T. The buildings are old, old, old and sliced into skinny offices with high ceilings; think of the Harry Potter series with dark wood, heavy trim and windows up about 16 or 20’. My office is only 10-12 feet wide and about 30’ long with a window at the end. I…
