Starting small lifts the energy to carry you forward

As Essential Feng Shui practitioners we acknowledge and rejoice in having both seen and unseen helpers walking the path of life with us. We’d like to thank two extraordinary helpers with this podcast: Brian Collins and Amy Chini.
You may recognize Brian’s voice in our opening credits introducing us and the Western School of Feng Shui. Brian is an actor, on-screen and voice-over, as well as a radio personality. Not only did he offer his commanding voice to introduce us, but he’s also been instrumental in helping us with technical issues and on-air rules of engagement. Thank you, Brian.
Amy Chini wears many hats at the Western School of Feng Shui, and she has the brilliance, unstoppable energy, and style to carry them all. A creative influence, a can-do person and now the producer and techno-genius behind the Feng Shui Decoded podcast and social media, Amy is the person we ask if it can be done, and she figures how to do it.
We couldn’t do this without them!
