feng shui services

Amanda Hawes is not only a psychologist, she is also Feng Shui practitioner. Feng Shui is the process of unblocking and absorbing negative energy and making room for positive energy to flow within your home, business, work space or life.

The most effective method of understanding the energies in your home is to complete a detailed analysis providing an understanding of the 9 zones of your home, Feng Shui interpretation of your home, the required remedies to support the positive flow of energy, as well as additional Feng Shui tips personalised to your home.
