New York Times: Weed Out Bad Vibes with Feng Shui
I recently had the opportunity to work with Matt Yan, a real estate reporter with the New York Times. Here’s a portion of an article that he wrote based on our conversations…
For These Pros, No Home Improvement Request Is Too Niche
From baby proofing to feng shui, homeowners and renters can hire professional help for just about anything.

An unorganized closet. Empty walls. Negative energy. There’s always something that homeowners and renters want to improve about their spaces. But the first question is often: Who do I call for something so specific?
The answer: niche home professionals who serve both high-end clients and those looking for help to save time. How niche? That depends on what you’re looking for. From closet organizers and feng shui consultants to aquarium installers and artwork advisers, no job is too narrow.
Weed Out Bad Vibes
Sometimes what needs fixing can’t be seen, but rather, felt. Creating a home with positive energy is part of Jessie Kim’s work as a feng shui consultant. Feng shui is rooted in how energy flows in a space. Furniture orientation is one aspect of it: A headboard, for example, should not be against the same wall of a bedroom door or a bathroom door. The goal is to create a home with positive energy, where comfortable vibes flow through the space.
Ms. Kim, a third-generation feng shui consultant, founded her firm, Ms. Feng Shui, around 20 years ago. She specializes in black hat feng shui (bagua), which she described as helping “manage the space that you already have without having to completely rebuild or feel like you’re doomed because you can’t move.”
“Your home is where you plug in and you need to recharge, so how do I optimize that space for you?” she said. “Because ideally, you’re the one who’s being recharged by your own space.”
