YES FENG SHUI
Jeanette Maguire
(413) 274-6989
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!
