Both Shiatsu and Acutonics® have their base in Oriental Medicine, which sees blockages of energy as the reason for any disease. Shiatsu, an ancient Japanese method, uses movement, stretches and pressure along Energy Pathways. Sound has always been used for healing, so the vibrations of non-invasive tuning forks are a perfect tool to transcend stagnated energy on a deeper cellular level without pain.

YES FENG SHUI

Feng Shui is the art of altering the flow of chi ("energy")in your home through the manipulation of furnishings and the use of color to effect powerful changes in your life. An environment with good feng shui creates an invigorating yet peaceful sanctuary while yielding health, wealth, intimacy, and vigorous self-esteem. Feng shui awakens your ability to create the changes you are ready for. A beautiful design may not include good feng shui, but good feng shui always includes a beautiful design.
Jeanette Maguire, a second-generation feng shui practitioner, graduated first in her class from FIDM in Los Angeles and worked as a set designer in New York City. She is sought after for her ability to combine feng shui with her intuitive sense of design while maintaining her client's fundamental aesthetics. Jeanette is the one to call when you know who you are and where you want to be . . . and you're ready for your home to say "YES" to that!
