I use dowsing rods all the time, to help clients determine where there are areas of geopathic stress. But dowsing rods have many more uses! Of course, dowsing was first originated to help find underground water sources for wells. While I’ve never used them for that (I may one day!) I have used them to […]
1. General cleaning Use Bon Ami or another natural cleaning product from a recommended commercial cleaning Winnipeg company, or 1/2 cup Borax dissolved in 1 gallon hot water, or 1/2 cup of washing soda (sodium bicarbonate) with 1 bucket warm water. Use old spray bottles for storage. For tough stains, use 1/2 a lemon in […]
One reader wrote in recently, asking what I thought about round work spaces. My response was "send some photos!" And that is what she did. The photo to the left is her office space, a dual-level "eco-hab." But the reader and her husband also construct what she calls "o-pods." These adorable "spaces in the […]

It has been found that healthy human development (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) is contingent upon access to […]
Our homes are a mirror reflection of what is going on inside ourselves. I see it over and over again. Where there is imbalance with my clients, there is an imbalance in the home. One area that I consult on often is the Romance & Relationship area. (See how you can find the Romance […]
In Feng Shui, finding the right desk for your home office is so important to your business success. Look at your desk as a metaphor for your work. Your desk can reflect your subconscious feelings about your work, how you do it, how well you should be compensated and how successful you are! Proportions […]
