Preparing for a Consultation

What do I need to provide for the consult?

 

Please read this over before booking.  Within 48 hours of booking, I will send you an intake form.  Please note that I will need your intake form and floorplan submitted at least 9 days prior to the consultation, so plan accordingly. 

Here’s everything I need from you: 

 

ONE: Floorplan

Your floor plan is essential for a thorough Feng Shui analysis. Please provide a digital copy for each floor of your home or office with your intake form.

 

What to Include:

• All spaces under your roof (including garages and storage areas)

• Attached decks/balconies/outdoor living areas 

• Clearly marked front door

• All walls, doors (showing swing direction), and windows

• Stairs, toilets, sinks, and shower/baths

• Key furniture: beds, desks, and stove

• Optional but helpful: other furniture placement

• Your signature (this connects your energy to the plan)

 

Acceptable Formats:

• Builder's plans (ideal if you have them)

• Hand-drawn plans (scanned)

• Digital plans created using online tools

 

Don't worry if you're not an architect! A thoughtful hand-drawn plan works perfectly well.  I've provided some simple tips for creating your floor plan after at the end of this page.  

​

TWO:  Intake Form 

To prepare for your consultation, you'll need to complete a detailed intake form at least 9 days before our session. This thoughtful questionnaire helps me understand you, your space, and your goals.

 

The intake form includes:

• Questions about you, your space, and your aspirations

• Photos and video of your space

• Your floor plan upload

• Estimated completion time: 15-45 minutes

 

This advance preparation allows me to deeply understand your needs and create personalized recommendations that will best serve you during our consultation.

​

Tip: Set aside quiet time to complete the intake form. The more detail you provide, the more tailored your consultation will be.

THREE:  The 9 Red Envelope Exchange Tradition

An essential part of the Black Sect Tantric Buddhist (BTB) Feng Shui tradition is the sacred exchange of red envelopes. This practice honors and protects the wisdom being shared, creating a powerful energetic exchange between teacher and recipient.

​

In my training, I have learned transcendental adjustments—special Feng Shui magical rituals that go beyond physical placement and work on an energetic level. When I share these adjustments with you, I request that you provide 9 red envelopes, each containing at least $1 in cash. This is a long-standing tradition in BTB Feng Shui, ensuring that divine knowledge is honored and received with respect.  After our consultation, the envelopes undergo ritual to bless the work we did together where I will sleep with them under my pillow and then keep them on my altar for 9 days.  The cash contained within these envelopes is separate from the consultation fee and will always then be donated to charitable causes.  

​

How the Red Envelope Exchange Works

Not every consultation will include transcendental adjustments, especially first-time sessions, as we often have plenty to work on without them. Because of this, you have options:

​

Option 1: Prepare Your 9 Red Envelopes in Advance

• Note:  Whether or not I share a transcendental adjustment, the envelopes still serve as a sacred energetic exchange for our session that will help protect and guide the flow of the consult.  ​

• If you’d like to have the possibility of receiving transcendental adjustments during your consultation, you can provide me with 9 red envelopes beforehand.

• These can be any type of red envelope (you can even make them yourself!).

• If we’re meeting in person, you can bring them to our session.

• If we’re meeting on Zoom, you’ll need to mail them to me before our consultation (I’ll provide my address after booking).

​

Option 2: Provide the Red Envelopes Later

• If you choose not to provide red envelopes before our session, but a transcendental adjustment becomes relevant, I will briefly describe it to you.

• If you’d like to receive the adjustment, you can mail me the 9 red envelopes before our follow-up call, and I will share the adjustment with you at that time. If I do not receive the red envelopes before the follow-up, I will not share the adjustment(s).    

 

Either way, when you provide red envelopes, take time to prepare them in a sincere way.  Think about your intention of what you hope to accomplish from your consult.  As you place the cash in each one, visualize your ideal outcomes and imagine all of the information flowing to you with ease.

​

Because a great deal of time goes into preparing for your consultation, I do not accept rescheduling or cancellations 9 days prior to your consultation date, unless emergency or illness (for which we can reschedule).  50% of fee will be required for other cancellations within 9 days of the consultation date.  If you do not show to your online consultation, you will be charged the full fee.

As part of this friends and family pre-launch, I will also be sending out a feedback form and asking for written reviews for Yelp and Google after the consultations, and I’d very much appreciate your thoughts and reviews, they are more helpful than you know!

*Floor Plan Drawing tips:  I recommend using graph paper, measuring tape, a ruler and pencil to do it by hand, having one foot equal to one square on the graph paper.  It doesn’t need to be exactly to scale, but the more accurate the better.  On an iPad with an Apple Pencil you can create it in Notability on graph paper.  There are also other apps and programs out there, use what you know.  I can answer any questions about how to create a floorplan if needed.  Do your best with the skills and tools you have, it doesn’t need to be overly complicated!
