I was a bit skeptical before speaking with Ashley since I had already spoken with a few different Feng Shui experts, who seemed as if they were upselling me on their services and weren't very clear on what it was that they were actually providing. However, after speaking with Ashley on the phone and meeting her in person, I found her to be very professional and straightforward, even going outside the scope of what we had originally agreed for her to come out to take a look at. She gave her expert advice on the pros and cons, and also offered additional services for the future. Overall, a positive experience with Ashley and will be reaching out for future needs. read more

Ashley totally nailed it! We didn't know much about Feng Shui before working with Ashley, just had a sense that things were a little "off" in certain parts of our home. She was able to come in and, within an hour, pinpoint exactly what we needed to bring more flow and positive energy into key spaces in our home. One thing that we wanted her thoughts on was a big ceiling beam over our bed. Most Feng Shui books I'd read recommended hanging bamboo flutes from the beam, but I couldn't bring myself to hang little trinkets that totally went against the decor of the rest of the room. Ashley was able to recommend a simple but effective alternative that made a huge difference. After implementing some of her suggestions, the energy has completely shifted in multiple parts of our home, bringing much more light and fun energy in. Here's the thing - energy is one of those things you can't measure. You just have to trust. But if you're here and reading this, there's likely some part of you calling out that the energy in your space needs to be shifted, and there's no better person to help you with that than Ashley. I highly recommend working with her! read more

I didn't know much about aligning my home energy and Feng shui before meeting Ashley. In one meeting, she gave me some tips on how to bring more life and unity to my home. It has changed my life! Simple things like sleeping with my phone outside of my room have changed the way I sleep. I now get a full night's rest and wake up refreshed. Ashley also suggested that I place more of my art on my walls and add a few green plants. Her suggestions were very useful and insightful. She showed that she cared more for my well-being than just suggesting things to make life better. I highly recommend visiting her site and requesting her services if you ever need help with home decorum! read more

Okay, let me start with this... I'm not a big "woo-wooey" kind of guy. I'm very logical and have a profound appreciation for science. Ashley has a way of bridging the gap for me. She doesn't claim to be "enlightened" or some kind of "Master". She kept away from the things she knew I wouldn't respect (e.g., Nine Red Envelopes, Flying Stars, etc.) and simply delivered a much improved setup and use of the space in my house. She may use a slightly different vocabulary than I do, but the results she delivered elicited an emotional response to the space I was living in. Yes, I sat in my office chair and the difference was so much better, it practically brought tears to my eyes. She is nothing short of phenomenal to work with and if you implement her suggestions, I am confident you will find an incredible improvement in your living spaces as well. I very highly recommend her. read more

I highly recommend Ashley to anyone who is interested in creating a home that is peaceful, well balanced, and a place to look forward to spending time in. Ashley spent time with me getting to know me and proposed a space that would work the best. She is passionate and has natural abilities in creating a home that exceeded anything I could have imagined. I'm generally not a spiritual person but Ashley opened my eyes to something that is completely new to me. I am grateful for what Ashley has done for me. I brag to my friends about Ashley and what a wonderful person she is. I highly recommend her and her services. read more

Ashley was quick and very thorough in giving me recommendations for a better bedroom layout for my toddler. She took the time to ask questions about what we were hoping to achieve and gave detailed feedback on the layout and the feng shui concepts behind it. Ashley also took the time to look for recommended pieces to add to the bedroom. I was really impressed with her knowledge and high level of detail. read more

Ashley was incredible and we absolutely loved working with her. I have been incorporating Feng Shui into my home for over ten years based on books and my own research. But despite that, I felt like there was just a few tweaks that were needed in our home that I wasn't seeing so I thought to look up consultants. Ashley popped up and already had such amazing reviews so I reached out. We set up a time for a free zoom consultation and I immediately knew she was who I was looking for. She happened to have a cancellation that week and came out for the initial tour of our home. During the zoom consultation, she had given a couple suggestions that I made sure to have done before she arrived for the tour. Even with those initial suggestions, we felt a difference and during the tour she gave other suggestions that I was quick to implement in the next few days. The wonderful thing about Ashley is that she takes your personal lifestyle and practicalities into consideration with her suggestions. She also never said for us to spend large amounts of money in order to have a home with proper Feng Shui. Anything she suggested was a minor cost or repositioning things to other areas of the home. It felt like a partnership and that she really cared that we were happy with our home and the movement of energy within it. There was such an amazing shift of energy that even our ailing cat felt it and started sprinting around the house and playing with her toy mice again. We are definitely going to continue to keep in touch with Ashley and will bring her back to help us whenever needed. :) read more

From the moment Ashley started her consultation I was impressed by how effortlessly she combined her knowledge of Feng Shui practice, my desires for my bedroom, and her connection with the energetic flow in the space. Before she even consulted any of her charts, she had some ideas for me that felt right to me from the beginning. We ended up taking my room from being just slightly better than a dorm room, to a space that everyone wants to luxuriate in. My bedroom is particularly challenging as it's open to my apartment loft, which means it lets a lot of light and sound in while not providing a container for energy. My main goal was to create a space that welcomed rest, comfort, and intimacy. Ashley had many helpful recommendations, including: - Installing a curtain to act as a physical container for the room - Centering the bed along the wall so that two people can share it equally - Moving a dresser from the top of the staircase, which was acting as a blocker to energetic flow - Putting in a plush rug at the foot of the bed to invite lingering In addition to providing really practical advice to elevate the energy in my bedroom, Ashley also was able to offer advice on colors and materials to use based on Feng Shui teachings and the orientation of my space - somehow it all just feels right. And finally, she left me with a formal report analyzing the energetic flow of my neighborhood, apartment, and room; so I know how a great reference document for future remodelings. I can't recommend her more highly. Your home should be the most comfortable and welcoming space in your life, and Ashley made my bedroom fulfill that dream for me. My room has gone from a place that is just for sleep, to a warm and flowing cocoon that recharges all aspects of my being. read more

Ashley provided a wonderful feng shui overview of my home. I was new to many of the concepts and ideas and really enjoyed learning about them. She arrive on time and had done her homework! We gave her a tour of the home and property, and she provided insightful feedback and ideas. An added bonus was that she helped us consider how we could remodel or redecorate in ways that were "feng shui friendly." In addition she provided a helpful follow-up email with links to Pinterest pictures that we will definitely reference later. It was full of inspiring ideas that suit our personal style and home. It was really a great experience and I highly recommend working with Ashley for anyone that's interested in the process. read more

Ashley visited our home and consulted on our space -- her recommendations really opened my eyes to how we could optimize. Recently my boyfriend and I had moved in together into my existing apartment and I hadn't gotten anywhere with updating the space to truly fit both of us! There was a giant shelf that I had kept from my last apartment but it really didn't work in the space. Sometimes it's just SO helpful to have someone come in and discuss compassionately with you about what you're struggling with. I didn't know the big shelf was a problem but Ashley could see it. We also put shelves into a nook area that had previously been unused and there was room for all my books there. Things like that made our space 100% more livable and enjoyable. She also came in with warmth and was not judgmental at all. I didn't feel like she was the expert and I was the nobody, which I've experienced before with interior designers, instead it felt like she was the good friend helping me out and talking with me. Such a great experience! read more

Ashley has everything you could want in a Feng Shui consultant. She is very knowledgeable in traditional Feng Shui and her wisdom and expertise is extensive. Her work is impactful and she has transformed my apartment in a way I didn't think was possible. I wish she had come over sooner.  Having Ashley Feng Shui my apartment is an investment I pride myself in. When I was looking for a Feng Shui consultant to address areas of my home that felt closed off and in disarray, I got proposals from several Feng Shui practitioners, but when Ashley got in touch with me, she stood out immediately as the one to choose because of her kind and generous personality and her great insight into traditional Feng Shui. She is very personable  and her sincerity made it all the more compelling for me to work with her.   My measurable outcome: My home is completely transformed. The energy in my house and the way I feel about my house has completely shifted. I now love my space and have had friends over more in the last several months than the last 4 years combined.  An extra bonus is that I feel as though I have gained a lifelong friend by working with Ashley.  She continues to follow up with me even months after our consultation! Thank you Ashley! read more

Yes, Ashley can enhance your home through her skill in traditional interior design, but she offers so much more. Ashley was thoughtful, thorough, and dedicated in her approach to helping me improve my space. I was unfamiliar with the practice and implementation of thinking about energy to better align humans with their built environments, but I'm so impressed with the results! Ashley transforms rooms into living spaces and houses into homes. I highly recommend Daoist Design! read more

Ashley gave me wonderful advice and recommendations for my new place. She is a joy to work with, and is very considerate of the functionality of the space being addressed. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone . read more

Update: I moved and Ashley helped me with my *new* residence a few months ago and had more helpful suggestions to make the most out of my small space, like opening up the room by utilizing my new patio space to bring in good qi, painting the wall behind my headboard to create calm and grounding, and tips for clearing space on my desk to avoid the feeling of clutter. The little things I would never think of that make a huge difference! Her suggestions really opened up my room and made it feel more like home. Ashley is great! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Ashley when she introduced Feng Shui into my life and home. I'm very new to the process and wanted to ensure balance and harmony in the flow of my apartment. She started with an intake session where she asked me several questions about myself and my living space and then she completed an in-depth analysis to get the optimal arrangement for positive energy. She recommended furniture arrangements, water elements, soothing wind chimes, plant and flower placements, and even took me crystal shopping to pick out crystals to enhance certain areas of my family space (which has been particularly beneficial to me). She also provided links to product recommendations so that I wouldn't have to do the research on my own. At the end, she provided a written report recapping everything that she went over so that I would be able to reference all of the information in the future. I am so happy with the new flow of energy in my space and would not have been able to achieve this without Ashley's expertise. I would highly recommend her consultation to anyone interested in pursuing an amazing Feng Shui experience!! read more

I had recently moved into a new space and wanted to make the most of it. Ashely was a tremendous help in listening to my needs and I could tell she really understand what I was seeking in the energy of my space. I was so happy when she came back with a full report and expert maps of the energy flow. Her work was super enlightening and really helped me to rearrange my space which allowed the best flow of energy. I was very pleased with the end result. She illuminated stuff I would have never guessed on my own! read more

Ashley has wonderful intuitive sensibility, is a joy to work with, and is sure to bring beauty and flow to your environment, as she has mine. If you're feeling the call to work with Ashley, I would suggest you go with that nudge! You'll be delighted you did, and the results will shift your life for the better. Thank you, Ashley, for bringing your gifts to my world. read more

We used Ashley's services for our home in Redwood City. I have never had a fung shui consultation so didn't know what to expect. She came extremely prepared, having done background research on the home and surrounding area. She is a great educator about the field of fung shui and provided interesting and thoughtful insights and recommendations. She even followed up with examples and resources based off our discussion. I have already told others about her and would highly recommend for anyone looking for another perspective on how to transform and balance your living space. read more

I recently moved to a new home and hired Ashley to come and evaluate my placement of furniture and help me optimize the flow of energy. It can always feel a little weird having someone in your home, but Ashley immediately put me at ease with her calm presence. She took the time to explain every step of her process and what she was evaluating. She then offered recommendations and helped me make a few adjustments to the placement of certain pieces that immediately changed the way my entire home felt. During our time together, Ashley gave suggestions on certain things that I could add to areas of my home to further improve the Feng Shui. For example, she recommended a specific throw rug for water energy in my walk-in closet and sent me a link for where to find it. I am go grateful for Ashley's skill, knowledge and passion and I don't think I will ever add anything new or move anything without first consulting her! read more
