Like never before in my career, in these past few months I have been asked for counseling on behalf of both owners and real estate brokers on how to expedite the sale of houses that have been sitting on the market for many months and also, on part of the concern buyers, how good it is for them to buy a house that has seen foreclosures issues. Treacherous and touchy territories, but I’ll attempt to answer. In all cases the answer is not strictly straightforward. |

I have often talked about the importance of been prepared– meaning being "business prepared–" when beginning a new business endeavor. In that sense, utilizing Feng Shui's principles in an office or a business location is part of being prepared to eliminate blockages in the energy that could prevent you and your business from achieving the goals you’re setting out to accomplish. Some of you may already have read books on Feng Shui– or perhaps read my brief for the Canon Corporation on how to maximize productivity and reduce office stress. You may have already introduced some elements of Feng Shui in your office design, or perhaps you have gone so far as to hire an expert– hard as it is to find a qualified one these days. And yet, some of you may still find your business has been a place of challenges both on a personal and professional level. Read more |

I had just been hired to review the plans for a new, sizable property in the West Los Angeles area. Interestingly is that in addition to the Feng Shui challenge, there are two more challenges I am facing right now: The first is: the design has been done by one of the most eminent authority in the filed of architecture – very high profile AIA member and a gentleman I have know and respected, as architect, for a very long time. How can one ever feel comfortable having to make Feng Shui recommendation for a work of art? |

"Dr. Mainini is one of those few wonderful people who have managed to weld together the strict disciplines of architectural practice with the aesthetics and philosophies of the ancient Chinese traditions of Feng Shui. Readers can be assured that what she writes is not founded just on theory alone, but sound practical experience." "Feng Shui for Architecture makes an excellent text and resource book as well as teaching guide because it is clear, informative and easy to read. It has such a natural manner of expression that it is as if the author is explaining the material verbally to the reader. The book provides historical background and theory for Feng Shui and integrates other related practices. The theories are presented in a straight-forward manner, fully developed with thorough explanations, and visually clarified with pictures, diagrams and charts, then translated into specific practical instruction. It is extremely helpful for designers and architects, as well as a strong reference resource for public and private libraries." |

Welcome to Feng Shui Consulting Services For Architecture, Design and Environment…
celebrating helping people like you create great lives with Feng Shui!
Years ago while pursuing my degree in architecture and interior design I realized that our buildings needed more than structure and styles. They needed something that made them be good for us. Around that same time I was introduced to the concept of quantum physics and how everything that exist in the Universe is energy. Since no architectural or design school teaches how to improve the energy in a building, I figured the answer may be hidden in the ancient metaphysical disciplines.
So, at the ripe old age of twenty-two, I began investigating the different ritual and spiritual architectural design systems practiced around the world and was soon recognized by several Masters as having an instinctive depth of understanding of ancient principals that would set me apart from other students. That's when Feng Shui found me and I became enthralled in the dynamics of utilizing visible and invisible energies together to create harmonious surroundings. Little did I know that in my enthusiasm, as Feng Shui consultant, I would end up learning the most sophisticated and advanced techniques of this craft usually only reserved for the Grand Masters—so much so that my Hong Kong Grand Master teacher begin referred to me as his Goddaughter.
After graduating, I created Feng Shui For Architecture in 1997, a full scale""boutique" Feng Shui consulting firm, to pioneer the applications of Scientific (Traditional) Feng Shui to architectural projects. Since then I have consulted internationally on all kind of projects. Today, my firm provides Feng Shui consultations for existing residential (home), commercial (office, retail, mix use, etc.), corporate and public buildings, as well as for those under design, new construction and/or renovation. My background as designer allows me to understand the design process, as well as pressures and concerns that owners and architects must face when developing a new project and consequently tailor my Feng Shui consultation to their needs.
While the concept of Feng Shui has become very popular in the past few years, it has often been addressed by the unqualified practitioners as simplified design psychology, philosophy, or superstition based on using Chinese folklore and religious symbolism hence giving rise to all sorts of myths regarding its integration with architecture.
Our specialty, Scientific Feng Shui (also known as Classic or Traditional Feng Shui), is instead a long time tested natural green science designed to create holistic buildings, a healthier environment, and the advancement of our well-being. It can be integrated with architectural design, interior design, and landscape design to harmonize energy both inside buildings and in their surrounding properties.
Since our inception we have helped hundreds of well-known international corporations, casinos, animal habitats, homeowners, developers, diplomats, productions companies, spiritual leaders and celebrities remove their “big” Feng Shui problems and bring in well-being, financial prosperity and success.
Just imagine what a world full of thriving Feng Shui buildings can do for you and humanity…
