"My guiding theme is 'opening doors.' What I created has doubled the space I live in, and I felt a major shift in being ready for newness after my consultation."

In the client's own words...
Tracy is an expert in her field. The meeting was more than I expected and has literally changed my life. During the consultation, Tracy's guiding statement was that I needed to “Open Doors” in my space and in my life as well. When you first walk into my apartment, there is a wall directly in front of the front door. I have now placed a black and white photo of a French gate in Paris to expand the space on the wall. It is also a daily reminder to me when I look at it to “Open Doors.”

During my consultation, I was working in a very stressful environment and frankly, my personal space mirrored all of that in clutter and tension. I have gone through every drawer and corner of the apartment to purge my space of unnecessary things. I have made a conscious effort to live consciously...and therefore anything that does not support me has been removed from my space. I now face the right direction, which is east for me, and I have decorated to support the principles of Feng Shui. My home was decorated before the Feng Shui, but it was not supporting what I needed in my life.

During my consultation, I learned I did not need more water in my life, which changed my idea of painting the walls light blue. I actually needed more fire, so I brought in candles to illuminate warmth and fire. I live in a studio in New York City, which always felt small to me. What I created out of the Feng Shui consultation has doubled the space I live in. I felt a major shift in being ready for newness after my consultation. I joined Internet dating and was reunited with a lost love that I met 10 years ago in the city.

Tracy designated that in my money area I needed to register green, so I have added three beautiful topiaries to ground the windowsill in green. I am in the process of changing careers from fashion to something that is meaningful to me as someone in her mid-30s; my values and interests have evolved from when I chose my career path at 18. Every week I open doors with new business contacts. Under the umbrella of “Opening New Doors," I needed to shed the extra baggage I was carrying around on my belly, but I have not been inspired by the gym, so I realized I wanted to feel completely re-invented; I now practice Pilates.

I always thought Feng Shui was about closing the toilet seat, painting a wall red, adding a money cat piggy bank on top of your oven, having a running waterfall and using Buddhas and crystals. I was happy to find out that at different times in your life, there are different guiding statements that move and call you forward. It's hard to say what the greatest reward has been but with a guiding principle, I continue to evolve my space to make it comfortable, supportive, intimate and stylish.
