Feng Shui Consulting
- You'll receive a welcome email from me to get things started (simple, guided, no overwhelm). I'll send over a short questionnaire so you can get clear on what you truly want from your space and I'll support you through the process so everything feels intentional and aligned from the very beginning.
- A personalized Feng Shui portfolio, including your floor plan, thoughtfully aligned with your goals, your energy, and the outcomes you're calling in.
- A 2-hour private consultation via Zoom where we'll walk through your space together starting right at your front door. I'll guide you room by room, looking at the flow of chi and how the elements are showing up (or not), so you can clearly see what's working and what needs to shift.
- Recommendations for subtle, powerful adjustments, the kind you don't necessarily see, but absolutely feel. This is where the real magic happens.
- Step-by-step guidance for a mini space clearing so you can create immediate shifts and real transformation in your home.
- After our consultation, I'll e-mail you your personalized portfolio so you have everything you need to continue working with your space.
- You'll also receive a follow-up email within 7 business days with additional insights and support, plus a recording of our session (so you can revisit anything you need).

What Clients Say About
Working with Andrea
"I had a great experience with Andrea providing our exterior colour consultation. The suggestions were thoughtful and suited our home perfectly and the process made choosing colours so much easier. We're really happy with the final look and would definitely use her service again."
— Allyson
"I sought help choosing paint for my interior when every shade I fell in love with looked completely different when I brought it into my space. Whites morphed into purples and yellows and greens that popped in the store became muted and dull against my cabinets. Working with Andrea was wildly helpful. I had no idea how many shades of white there were until she explained how different lighting, sun exposure, and undertones can completely change a color. Her understanding of how paint works within a space is incredible. She helped us land on the perfect "white" for our home — warm, fresh, and cohesive — and guided me to a bold cabinet color that was exactly what I had been hoping for. It adds so much personality while still feeling balanced and timeless. I'm so grateful for her expertise and eye for detail. If you're feeling overwhelmed by paint choices, she's absolutely the person to call."
— Kristin
"Working with Andrea was an exceptional experience. She helped us select the perfect exterior white for our black-and-white Art Deco design, a task that is far more complex than most realize. With countless shades of white and numerous factors influencing how a colour appears, her expertise and attention to detail were invaluable. She was thoughtful, patient and highly attentive throughout the process, carefully considering lighting, undertones, architectural features and surrounding elements before making recommendations. Her ability to balance technical knowledge with aesthetic vision gave us complete confidence in our decision. The finished result exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking professional design guidance."

Interior Designer vs Colour Consultant: Which Do You Actually Need?
You know something needs to change. Maybe you've been staring at blank walls for months, paralyzed by paint chip options. Maybe your living room feels disconnected and you can't figure out why. Maybe you're finally ready to tackle that exterior that's been bothering you for years.
What a Colour Consultant Actually Does
When you pick up a paint swatch at the store, you're looking at colour in isolation. When I walk into your home, I'm looking at everything: your flooring, your fixed finishes, your countertops, your existing furniture, the natural light at different times of day, even the trees outside your windows.
How to Choose Exterior Paint Colours That Stand the Test of Time
Your home's exterior is the first thing people see. It's what greets you after a long day. It sets the tone before anyone steps inside. And unlike that accent wall you can repaint next weekend, your exterior colour choices are a commitment—one you'll live with for years, possibly decades.
