Intentional Placement for Well-being

As a Feng Shui Practioner and Interior Redesign Specialist, Kate Van Slyke brings  environments into alignment with the aspirations of their occupants, using feng shui principles of physics, proven techniques of interior design, and the creative power of intention to create spaces that bring comfort, harmony and balance to our lives.   

Our homes are our mirrors, reflecting what our inner selves believe about life and our roles in life.  The purpose of habitat is to nurture and support us. Homes can do this on deep levels. 

Our business settings reflect the kind of service people can expect from us. Be conscious of how you and your business are represented to those you serve.

About Kate

Years of research and experimentation with feng shui principles with positive results led Kate to seek training as a Certified Interior Redesign and Staging Specialist, backing up her passion for the healing benefits of optimal spatial organization with the nuts & bolts education of interior redesign. You won't find her hanging bamboo flutes from your ceilings, though. Kate's wisdom in the use of the natural laws we call "feng shui" transcends traditional Chinese "cures" (objects used to neutralize or transform negative or harmful "chi" or energy). Kate will tell you that what you use matters less than how you use it.   Items we use and love, and items given to us in love, carry with them much more positive energy than trinkets ordered over the internet. Placing significant belongings intentionally, where they will support us in our journey, does make a difference. Just as clutter will clog things up in life, reminders of love and support can be the wind beneath our wings.
