Create a Water Feature without Water!
Many of my clients look at me sideways when I suggest a water feature; my own husband included. (But, he is coming around slowly.)

So, why is there so much resistance utilizing…
Q: Kathryn, I’m getting ready to move and clearing out a few things. I came across a box of souvenirs we picked up from our trip to Africa years past and I don’t know if they are good for feng shui or not.

Placing a ceiling fan over a bed can be detrimental to your health! If you are having restless, sleepless nights, have a look UP at your ceiling.
Many ceiling fans are purchased with the logic that these items can save you money on air conditioning. True. But, are there other hidden costs?
In Feng shui, any item hanging over head is considered a no-no. Your sub-conscious is always aware of ‘something’ overhead. (This includes books, vases, knick-knacks, pots and…

I thought we were headed towards becoming a paperless society…but…OMG! What is a person supposed to do with it all the ‘paperwork’ that turns into clutter? There are people that pile, and people that file. Which one are you??

Q: Hi Kathryn! My husband and I are doing some earthquake preparations out here on the west coast. The booklet suggests we have a pair of boots under the bed for quick evacuation should this happen while sleeping. I heard it was bad feng shui to leave shoes and boots under the bed, especially for a long time. What do you think? Amy

Being a guest on Kathryn’s radio show, Practical Solutions for Life, was a great experience. Kathryn took me step by step to prepare me for what to expect (especially in case of technical difficulties). She asked very clear questions and was a generous and supportive host. She put me at ease and the show came out great!
