What to Ask when Hiring a Feng Shui Consultant
One of the keys to success in choosing a Feng Shui Consultant – one who resonates with you – is knowing what questions to ask while building a trusted relationship.
Your IFSG Feng Shui consultant’s extensive knowledge, training, and resources can provide very specific and effective results. As a result of their training, your consultant will have a unique interpretation of the relationship between your current quality of life, your personal aspirations, and your home environment or workplace.
“‘Why’ and ‘how’ are words so important that they cannot be too often used.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
