Sarah’s inputs on a recent project we worked on were aesthetically pleasing and her commitment to her profession and her genuine belief in the ancient art have convinced a non believer like me that it’s not all about wind chimes. The project is now complete and in my personal opinion, one of our best works to date.

Since implementing your suggestions I have seen positive changes of all sorts. The energy in the office circulates better, and the atmosphere is lighter. My office is a very pleasant space to be in and work gets done in a very relaxed manner. With regards to the business, it is now definitely on an upward trajectory, with more sales and better profit margins. The infernal negative spiral I was in has definitely reversed.

My personal life has also transformed, as my divorce has finally been agree after 10 years of difficult negotiations and my heart has opened to a new love. Everything is now going wonderfully, and I appreciate this every day and thank you for your help. Things seem to improve further with each passing week!

I was so surprised at how much detail and method there is to Feng Shui and Chinese Horoscopes knowledge. I had originally hired Sarah to help us with our beachside restaurant, which was suffering with slow trade & staff problems, but upon listening to her explain Feng Shui it was clear to me how she could help us with many other projects.

She arrived to do one consultation but ended up helping us with a further 4 projects on the island. Her feedback was always helpful and practical and her suggestions for the Lord's Cove resort created another plot of land for us to sell and also reduced water feature costs substantially. All our clients loved the new look and feel of our restaurant and even the staff commented how much better it felt. I'd highly recommend Sarah and her work.

Thanks for your visit yesterday and I am thrilled to say that Ellie went straight to sleep last night and we didn't hear a peep out of her until 7:30 this morning. Plus there is now space for her to play in her bedroom so she loves it. Hurrah!

I can wholeheartedly recommend employing the services of Sarah McAllister, Director of the Feng Shui Agency. I am opening an Urban Day Spa in Knightsbridge and was keen to follow the principles of Feng Shui so I contacted Sarah at the conceptual stage. I had already employed an architect/designer so Sarah worked alongside my Designer and Graphic design agency, ensuring my logo and brand identity was favourable, and that my refit plans followed the relevant principles suitable to the site location and planned usage whilst always respecting and working with the brand vision.

Sarah thoroughly explained all the concepts and their relevance to me, without using lots of baffling jargon. She provided clear advice and an extremely detailed and informative report that enabled me to guide my team of builders through the project. Always very generous with her time, Sarah is very approachable, extremely knowledgeable and maintained regular contact at all times whilst never being overbearing.

Sarah showed sensitivity to the limitations of my project (structural, financial or other) and the commercial practicalities of the space, regularly offering alternatives if we were unable to implement particular suggestions whilst maintaining a real dedication and enthusiasm for my project including a great follow up service.”

Sarah's very friendly, down-to-earth and practical approach in helping me change the "small" things in my environment in order to achieve big goals has been fundamental in my personal growth. I have experienced overwhelmingly positive changes after her advice on my flat. It is like I have embarked on a new creative journey and I now feel more intuitive and centred. I feel extremely positive and the energy flow is boundaryless!

I really enjoyed working with Sarah. I benefitted a lot. She spent lots of time with me and learned about me and my family and our properties in detail. She then produced a detailed report on how to improve chi in my home and my husband’s business. I trust her judgment very much. She has an ability to focus on others that is amazing. She knew things about me and my family that I did not tell her.

Sarah is a genius! Chris and I really enjoyed our horoscope partnership reading with her. It was a wonderful experience. Neither of us had ever had our chart read before, and we knew little about Chinese astrology. Sarah was able to explain everything in a way that was easily understandable and immediately relevant and applicable to our lives. We learnt a lot about ourselves and about each other - practical information that we are still using to this day.

I was so impressed with Sarah’s feng shui report that I decided to hire her company to fully interior design my flat. I am delighted with the results. The flat looks and feels wonderful. It is both energising and relaxing! I sleep like a baby and all my friends comment on the great energy of the place and the creative use of colour.

Sarah and Vatsal showed a real commitment to the project and to the achievement of high standards throughout. If feng shui design has this positive an effect on a residential premises then I really think more businesses and urban planners should be spending some serious money with Feng Shui Agency!

I had the Chinese Horoscope done for myself and fiancee and it was truly remarkable. It was insightful, specific and very accurate. It pinpointed our personalities and indicated the best time for making big life decisions. Having been told by Harley Street experts that we could not have children, we followed the advice about timing and are now proud parents to two healthy children. Highly recommended.

I’d be happy to recommend you to anyone.Your report on how each member of staff interacts with everyone is so accurate, its scary! Since we rearranged the space like you said, our income has gone through the roof. We placed a festival on sale last week and they normally take 6 months to sell and this one will be sold out by this Sunday coming! So everything you have said, is working and things are so much better in our lives. So thank you so much. We are truly grateful for all these things happening.

It is amazing how the changes you advised us to make in our home made our business immediately start to perform better (and continue ever since!). We had a record month in October when usually the sales figures are very low. I am so glad I decided to get you to come to Belgium, we are so excited about our business again and can finally draw a salary! Thank you Sarah.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally at the earliest stage of design, before planning submission or site layout decisions are fixed.

Yes. Most advisory work is undertaken alongside architects, planners and landscape designers.

Classical Feng Shui is not primarily an interior decorating practice but a system of environmental planning that examines orientation, landform and spatial organisation.

It is most effectively applied during site selection, architecture and landscape design, yet its principles can also guide interior layouts.

At this level, Feng Shui focuses on directional alignment and the balance of the Five Elements – water, wood, fire, earth and metal – within the space.

Yes. Advisory work is available globally for private estates and development projects.
