References from my Feng Shui consultations

Here I share projects and feedback from my Feng Shui consultations that my clients have given permission to publish: new builds, practices, flats and gardens, but also a supermarket, a farm and a shipping company. In my work as a Feng Shui Master, I often learn very personal things, and I protect them as if I were under a duty of confidentiality. Names and places therefore appear only where permission has been given. Their words are translated from German.

I present further projects in my tour blog, my photo gallery and on my YouTube channel.

Flats, houses and gardens

Much of Feng Shui happens outdoors, so gardens sit alongside flats and houses here. I explain what I look for outdoors in the guide to Feng Shui in the garden.

Owner-occupied flat with a garden in Hamburg-Altona

A flat on the ground and lower ground floors, with a garden behind it where things along the wall were very chaotic. A standing Buddha, about a metre high, went into the garden. The client reduced the clutter along the wall; stones, tiles and tools now lie beneath bamboo mats. The “relationship corner” outside and in the bathroom has been tidied too. Since then, she has noticed what this order does to the view outside.

Detached house with a garden in North Rhine-Westphalia

The house and garden of a doctor in North Rhine-Westphalia. Outside, the family put my recommendations into practice over several weeks; indoors, they changed what felt right to them. She describes how she feels herself, and something else pleases her too: “On top of all that, everything looks so wonderfully beautiful.”

“I feelexcellent!”

Garden planning near Osnabrück

I first saw the east side of this garden in autumn. When planning the garden with Feng Shui, we first marked out all the important positions. A spring, a stream and a pond followed, laid out according to the “24 Heavenly Stars”.

Garden at the winter solstice, Hamburg

This client wanted his love of Asian art and Feng Shui rituals to have a place in the consultation. I designed a garden for him with a place for a fire in front of the Buddha. He now celebrates the winter solstice there. The story is in a garden at the winter solstice.

Garden of the Sun, Mallorca

Yin and Yang shift in the south. On Mallorca, the sun (Yang) is much stronger than in Sweden, Germany or Holland, where long winters bring more Yin. I therefore work more with shade and coolness there, using plants that tolerate heat. For the house, this means smaller windows or facing the Yin directions from north-west to north-east. Read more in Garden of the Sun on Mallorca and the guide to Yin and Yang in the garden.

Plot with missing areas near Bremen

Large parts of this plot are missing in the south-east and south. My first advice is always to buy the missing parts from the neighbour until a balanced rectangle is formed. Usually that is not possible. I then place stones, which I activate and programme, to draw an energetic boundary that “creates” the rectangle. I describe this case in a plot with missing areas near Bremen.

Water points outside the front door

This small fountain stands exactly on the water points I calculated outside the front door. My tip: Feng Shui water, meaning energetically activated water, should always be a little sheltered from other people’s view.

Former farmstead near Überlingen on Lake Constance

A beautiful former farmstead near Überlingen. After breakfast, I began the observations and calculations on site. I show how a consultation for a flat or house works in the video Feng Shui consultation in practice (video in German).

Permaculture project in Wedemark

A lovely couple with a permaculture project in Wedemark. Just before I left, their little daughter gave me an apple for the journey and the Yin Yang symbol. Moments like these touch me.

Complete renovation in Upper Franconia

Feng Shui planning and consultation in the middle of a complete renovation. It was quite cold, but I do like being right in the midst of the Qi.

Gardens near Dresden and Hamm

My tours have also taken me to consultations in gardens near Dresden and Hamm.

New builds and plots

With a new build, much can be resolved on paper before construction begins. Renovations and farms belong here too. I explain my approach in consultations for new builds and plots.

New build with two flats in Ahrensburg

There was a great deal of stress during construction. We placed the foundation and corner stones precisely in the calculated positions and insisted that the architect follow my recommendations. Afterwards, the stress stopped, the second flat was quickly let, and a second house with the same floor plan has since been built in Hamburg.

“People oftenring the doorbelland want to knowwho designedand builtthe house.”

Stud farm on Rügen

A fascinating consultation at a stud farm on Rügen, with many curious people interested in Feng Shui.

Farm in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

After a large new cowshed was built, the cows produced less milk, and I was asked to find out why. I managed to do so. With my Feng Shui measures, the cows produced more milk again, as shown in the weekly milk records. I presented this case in a talk at the Feng Shui Congress in Bologna.

Gutted detached house near Nuremberg

A completely gutted detached house near Nuremberg was renovated with Feng Shui. What makes it interesting is that the house is rotated, with its entrance on the Tiger side.

Alpine Residence in Austria

I prepared a Feng Shui project plan for the Alpine Residence. The house has not yet been built. You can read about my other work in Austria under Feng Shui consultation in Austria.

Businesses, practices and hospitality

These are places where people work and where patients, clients and guests arrive. I explain my approach to businesses in Feng Shui for companies and practices.

Practice with private living quarters near Krefeld

The client had heard about me through a recommendation and called on the spur of the moment. The 4 m hedge around the house was cut down to 2 m, and the corners were tidied. During renovation before Easter 2016, colours from blue through green to gold went onto the walls. I supported the work by phone and email. Patients immediately gave positive feedback, and the golden walls delight every visitor.

“I would do itthe same wayagain at any timeand invest thetime and money.”

Office at Hamburg harbour

A department spread over several floors in a large company complex. Its head wanted an energetically optimised working environment for themselves and their team. Stone placements, hexagram techniques, Feng Shui symbolism and a furniture and colour scheme created a “Qi world” of its own, sensitively realised by interior designer Katrin Täubig. Visitors sense when they enter this area, and it works very successfully. I show before and after in Feng Shui for companies and practices.

Supermarket with a fountain

I calculated the position of a fountain for a supermarket’s second location. The client asks for discretion; I have his feedback in writing. Liquidity had rarely looked so good either, he writes, “touch wood”.

“We have exceededlast year’srecord turnovertwice.”

Fountain for a specialist lorry body builder

After my consultation, this company built its own fountain from stainless steel tipper bodies, positioned with extreme precision on the hexagram point I had specified. We marked out the angle with strips of wood. The water flows towards the main entrance, and the fountain was put into operation on a suitable date.

Shipping company in Hamburg harbour

I advised a shipping company in Hamburg harbour. My Feng Shui tip: it is very helpful when the shape of the building supports the purpose of the business.

Restaurant with a golden wall, Hanover

Sometimes my calculations call for gold, the Metal element. Clients often look at me in disbelief and hesitate. This restaurant took the plunge with a golden wall, and despite the “Metal”, the room became warm and elegant, almost cosy. Guests are very taken with it. Read more in a restaurant with a golden wall in Hanover. I explain my approach to hospitality in Feng Shui for restaurants and hotels.

Manufacturing and metalworking

A medium-sized specialist metalworking company brought me in because “we want our staff to feel comfortable”. Other work included a production container and planning a manufacturing hall for organic products near Celle. That is what I love about my work: every job is different.

Clients in Hamburg

My clients in Hamburg include a state-of-the-art dental practice in HafenCity, City Center Bergedorf and the Gallo Nero restaurant. I have stayed connected with the von Ehren family to this day, through consultations and privately. You can find more from the city in Feng Shui consultation in Hamburg.

Further projects from the photo gallery

The pictures of these projects are in my gallery from the road. There are also golden walls in the waiting room of a medical practice in Kreischa near Dresden and in a Hamburg office conference room.

Seen during a consultation

The Feng Shui wall in Rostock is not one of my projects. I saw the mural during a consultation there. I like showing clients examples like this so they can experience how a visual change makes perception “more positive”.
