I chose Laura to help me redesign my space after a big life change. From our first emails, Laura…read morewas knowledgable, generous and fast. Laura approached my space from all the areas of her expertise: interior design, feng shui and a deep respect for the individual within her space. Our time spent together was inspired, as we walked through my home she brought clarity to issues I didn't even know were there and even before I received her report, began making changes. The report I received from her was detailed, thoughtful and incredibly generous. Her follow up policy has been invaluable. I love being in my home now and having people over. I have gotten endless compliments on my home now, people tell me the energy has completely changed. I really just wanted my apartment to look cohesive and make sure I was harnessing as much positive energy as possible. I couldn't have anticipated how much of a personal shift I have made since working with Laura Cerrano. I recommend her highly.

Laura has gone beyond home consultation and decor tips. Her sessions have opened up conversations…read moreabout past experiences, goals and aspirations, and emotional blocks that are potentially stunting my personal growth. None of it planned, all of it natural conversations that came out of her gentle probing and asking about my intentions for my environment. I've called on her for help a few times during different relocations and each time she gives me so much insight and clarity about my own needs and wants. In fact, I was in tears at the end of our last session. I'm excited to "claim" my new home and know with Laura's recommended changes it will be just as successful a transition as it has been in previous apartments. I highly recommend Laura.

I worked with Susan before moving into my new apartment a few years ago. My apartment is a railroad-style apartment, which has funky spaces and too many doors. It also made for a difficult decision regarding bedroom and living room placements. I also wanted to ensure I kept a minimalist style, avoiding clutter. Susan helped me analyze the space and decide where to place my bed for optimal energy flow, how to style my office, living room, etc. Susan even assisted with what material I should use regarding my bed and advised me on placement. Overall the experience was insightful, and she helped me achieve the feeling I was going for. I highly recommend Susan and will use her if I move again.

I got ripped off! I…read morebought three little cat statues at $3 each (total $9) and added a tiny Buddha statue located by the register, labeled at $1. My total? $10. Posted sales tax? 8.875%. However, after I handed over my credit card, the sales receipt total was $13.06. I argued the total a few times but the lady argued back, so I just walked out. While the store is conveniently located around the side of the New York New York store on the other corner (adjacent to the Magic Jewelry store), I'd say avoid at all costs. It is large with lots of statues, but I'd be wary of conducting a transaction with a business that isn't very transparent with its customers. Yeah, yeah, it is Chinatown, but this is a heads up. The store front shows it as being titled as Lucky Stone Feng Shui or Lucky Stone, the receipt indicates the actual business operates under the title Magic Fang Shui (address and phone number matches).

We were in a rush, and thought we'd pick something as untraditional as our decision to basically elope. The cute storefront caught our attention, so we went in to explore. The lady working the front counter was helpful, but a tad bossy. Her demeanor was motherly even. It was actually endearing. She helped us with the decision quite quickly. The whole process was 15 minutes tops. The ring I bought was too big so I wear it around my neck on a silver chain, as does my husband. I'll always remember this little store with its wide array of jewelry and nick-knacks. If you're in the market for the such, I highly recommend this establishment.

I stumbled on Ai's services through Yelp, having never hired a feng shui consultant before, and…read morequite anxious about moving apartments for the first time in quite a while. From our initial Zoom call through the entire duration of her consultation, Ai was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and decisive with her advice. After Ai was able to analyze my situation (beyond just my living arrangements, including my personality, career, and goals), she prepared documents that became indispensable resources for my move. Ai offered recommendations on everything from furniture design, materials, and colors to room designations, lighting choices, and even plants! As I started planning the new space, Ai made herself available at every turn--either in-person or via phone, text, and email--to offer her guidance. She made it clear that every decision would ultimately be mine, but I trusted her vision entirely. It was clear that she was invested in my process. I ended up extending the consultation for an extra four weeks! The end result is that I have settled into a new place that perfectly fits me at this stage of my life. I am very satisfied with her services and happily recommend Ai for whomever desires more from their living space.

I found her to be very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She gave me a lot of useful information on how to improve the feng shui in my apartment. She was very responsive to my concerns (e.g. not being able to change the furniture layout) and gave other suggestions to help counteract these issues. I would definitely recommend her services for anyone interested in improving the feng shui of their home! Overall, a great experience and I would engage her again if I feel I require further assistance.

She inspired me not only to change my house, but also change my approach to business. She talked about a necessity having my own work space, if I'm going to work from the house and when I did what she recommended I noticed that I gain more new clients in a few weeks. Her Feng Shui recommendations made my home look ten times better! After her consultation I feel more confident to make changes in my house to improve the energy of prosperity, health and relationship. After making even small changes that she recommended (after visiting my house just once), I felt an immediate improvement in my health and mood as well as my overall life. I'm just amazed at how my home feels now. Thank you Ashley for your service!

As a bachelor without design sense it was one of the best investments I could have made. It saved me so much time and anxiety about which pieces to pick and every single person who has visited has been amazed by how nicely decorated my apartment is. The process is exactly as described by other reviewers - introductory call, questionnaire, in home visit, and follow up call a week or two later with a mood board and shopping list. Betsy was incredibly personable and easy to talk to. I was also impressed with how much her suggestions matched my style even though I didn't have the vocabulary to communicate it. Everything fit within my constraints and preferences and Betsy helped with follow up questions and suggestions as pieces came in and as I decided to swap out a few pieces.
