Designing Spaces for Wellbeing
About The Feng Shui Agency
The Feng Shui Agency is a specialist environmental planning consultancy founded by Sarah McAllister, advising on spatial strategy, orientation and energetic balance in high-end residential properties and legacy estates.
Drawing on the classical principles of Feng Shui, the practice examines how landform, orientation and spatial organisation influence the experience, wellbeing and long-term prosperity of a property. These principles are most powerful when considered early in the design process, which is why Sarah is often consulted during site selection, masterplanning and architectural design for luxury homes, estates and development projects across the UK and internationally.
While Feng Shui is traditionally associated with interior arrangements, its deeper roots lie in environmental planning. By analysing the relationship between a building and its surrounding landscape, infrastructure and natural forces, Feng Shui can help guide decisions that support harmony, wellbeing and enduring value within a property.
Living in Alignment
For homeowners, developers and business owners, the Feng Shui Agency provides guidance on:
- Site and plot selection
- Masterplanning and building orientation
- Architectural layouts and landscaping
- Interior spatial adjustments for existing properties
For existing homes and commercial spaces, consultations focus on improving the environmental balance of the building and supporting the occupants’ goals in areas such as health, career, wealth and harmonious relationships.
Alongside Feng Shui consultations, Sarah also provides Chinese Astrology (Four Pillars / BaZi) analysis. This classical system examines the timing cycles and personal characteristics influencing an individual’s life path and decision-making. When combined with Feng Shui, it offers valuable insight into both place and timing — helping clients align major life and property decisions more effectively.
Founded in 2003, The Feng Shui Agency has worked with private clients, entrepreneurs and property developers throughout the UK and internationally. The practice has helped thousands of individuals transform the energy of their homes and workplaces while supporting successful business owners in expanding their property portfolios.
Through a trusted network of architects, designers, landscapers and builders familiar with Feng Shui principles, the agency can assist with projects from initial concept through to completion.
Founder
Sarah McAllister
- Spatial Strategist
- High-End Residential & Legacy Estates
- Masterplanning & Timing Advisory
Sarah McAllister is one of the UK’s most experienced practitioners of classical Feng Shui, with over 26 years of professional practice advising clients on the relationship between place, design and human wellbeing.
Her work combines classical environmental knowledge with a highly perceptive reading of place, enabling her to identify spatial opportunities and challenges that may not be immediately visible within conventional planning and design approaches.
Sarah specialises in the environmental planning aspects of Feng Shui — particularly site selection, masterplanning and architectural orientation — where early decisions have the greatest long-term impact on the success and longevity of a property.
Sarah began her Feng Shui studies in 1998 and later trained extensively in classical Chinese systems including Form School, Yuen Hom Flying Star, Hexagram Flying Star and Sam Hap Double Mountain Feng Shui under Grand Master Chan Kun Wah. She also specialises in Chinese Four Pillars Astrology and auspicious timing selection, which she integrates into her advisory work when appropriate.
Over a ten-year period she undertook advanced Chue Style training and later taught the system internationally, helping establish Feng Shui schools in both Moscow and London. In 2009 she further specialised in Urban Planning Feng Shui, deepening her expertise in applying classical principles to larger developments and environmental design.
Sarah founded The Feng Shui Agency in 2003 and has since advised on projects in more than 46 countries. Her clients include homeowners, entrepreneurs, developers and design professionals seeking a deeper understanding of how land, architecture and timing interact.
Today her work focuses particularly on high-end residential properties and estates in natural settings, where careful orientation and environmental alignment can create what she describes as “barefoot luxury” — refined spaces that feel calm, grounded and deeply connected to their surroundings.
Sarah collaborates with architects, designers and builders across the UK and internationally, bringing a rare combination of classical knowledge, spatial insight and practical design understanding to projects that aim to create not only beautiful spaces, but enduring ones.
Alongside her classical Feng Shui training, Sarah has long held an interest in the relationship between human wellbeing and the natural environment. Earlier in her career she trained as a Shiatsu practitioner and explored a range of healing and personal development disciplines, experiences that deepened her sensitivity to how environments affect the body and mind.
While her professional work today focuses on spatial strategy and environmental planning, this broader background informs the perceptive and intuitive dimension of her consultations, allowing her to guide clients not only in the design of their spaces but also in aligning those spaces with their personal aspirations and life direction.
