3 Stage Consultation Process
1 - Free Telephone assessment
Is feng shui right for you? To establish how we can help you, we require a telephone conversation to ask key questions about you and your property. We do not provide email quotations, because we don’t wish to over price or under price our services. We forge life long relationships with our clients because of our personalised service and attention to detail.
2 – Home visit
Your feng shui consultant will visit your home and start with a quick chat to reaffirm your goals followed by an assessment as follows:
- Sensing the chi of the area surrounding your property – before we look to our compass we like to simply experience your property. How are the roads bringing the traffic to you? Are there any large trees or pylons nearby?
Walking through your house looking for obstructions, favourable and unfavourable influences, areas to improve etc.
- Taking compass measurements of key leverage points within your property – we use classical Imperial Lo Pan compasses made especially for us in Hong Kong
- Dowsing of the property with copper rods where appropriate – we are looking for underground water and/or unhealthy earth energy, so that we can make sure you don’t spend too much time in the shadow of such uncomfortable vibrations.
- Calculations and Cures – working primarily with compass techniques we will discover the energy hot spots of your property that will re-balance or re-invigorate the “energy circuit”.
- Consultation report – we will provide a brief jargon free report of our findings, sometimes on the day of consultation and sometimes within 2 weeks.
- Date Selection - we also provide auspicious dates and times for changes to be made, which increase the likelihood of the desired effect.
- Ba Zi – where location, hour and date of birth are provided we will look at the basic horoscope of the family members as pertaining to the feng shui influences. In some particularly difficult cases we will open the full horoscope to see which time period the client is in and what feng shui remedies can help.
- Wellness Audit – we will ask you if you are interested to have us assess your environmental health and make suggestions for incorporating useful technologies into your life. Our wellness expert Dalia is available on the phone to follow up with you after the feng shui consultation.
- Practicalities – sometimes we cannot access the best energy because there is a shed or a drain in the way. In rare cases, a property is so challenging that we will advise you to move out and make recommendations that support you in gathering energy for a decisive new move.
The above process can take 2 to 6 hours.
3 – Follow-up included
We ensure our recommendations are realistic and our fee includes free follow up by telephone and email for up to three months. Thereafter we charge £68 per hour + VAT to answer your questions by email or telephone or to carry out site visits. We will charge this in 15 minute slots and invoice you every hour. Please note exceptions can be made in the case of lengthier projects such as refurbishments.
Fees – in the UK you can expect to pay a minimum of £400 + VAT for a small flat or studio. 2-3 bedroom properties are approx £500. Four bedroom properties £600. Large grounds, outbuildings and interior design advice increase the fee payable.
Overseas Fees – we have an extensive network of trusted consultants worldwide, however, feng shui is a very personal service and in some cases clients prefer to have Sarah McAllister visit. For a premium fee Sarah is happy to travel overseas to consult on larger domestic projects and new builds. Recent destinations have included Iran, Italy and UAE. Minimum £2000.00 plus travel and accommodation expenses. Travel time is chargeable at £15 per hour.
“Also, more importantly, have to say how much of a difference it has made to alter the position of my desk. Since you did that, what? a month ago? - I've had more offers of work than I have in the past six months and I'm really pleased because I've got nice work lined up for September, which means I can take the summer off with the children and relax. I've also finished off some other work I was doing, a play, and am now in position to send it out which is just great. I'm really quite amazed at the difference. . . . also the house seems calmer and more tranquil. An altogether happier space, which is just lovely. I've just realised, as I write this, that the children have been much, much calmer too, not arguing as much, they seem much more relaxed”.

CONSULTATION PREPARATION
Please ensure you have the following ready for your consultant’s visit:
- A4 floorplans of the property and any garden/grounds
- Clear intention for what you wish to achieve
- Dates of birth (and location and hour if possible) of all occupants
The floorplans must be to scale – hand drawn is acceptable. OR your consultant can draw them up for an additional fee of £50 + VAT (for a small to medium size property).
Should I tidy up?
No, you don’t need to tidy up – as long as the property is relatively free of clutter obstructions, then a little mess is fine. It is best to be natural and just get on with your daily routine.
Can I follow you round the house and watch?
No, sorry, we like to be left undisturbed to concentrate and focus on helping you rather than teaching you about what we are doing.
Do you require payment on the day?
Yes, payment in full will be required, less the deposit. We accept cheque or BACs. We also accept online payments via credit card – these attract a 3.5% fee.
