My earliest memories are of living on the Isle of Palms in South Carolina, where the quiet power of
Wind and Water revealed how the environment shapes human experience. That early awareness
evolved into formal training to become a Certified Practitioner of Essential Feng Shui®, and establish
a practice defined by clarity, structure, and an elevated approach to environmental alignment.In The Boutique, the retail arm of In The Bagua, is a curated collection presenting tools, essentials and systems-aligned products designed to support intentional living and organized workflows. The collection includes thoughtfully sourced accessories, organizers and elements that align with Essential Feng Shui and systems thinking. Items change often for an ongoing client experience.

Create the life you have always envisioned with the support of Feng Shui. For over 30 years, Terri has been working with people and their environments, specializing in color selection, clutter management and feng shui. By attuning to the unique needs of each client, design solutions are created to meet each client’s goals. This allows the client to more readily achieve his/her goals. Our environments offer us a tremendous opportunity to consciously participate in our lives. As we become more conscious about what we have created in our spaces, we can more consciously choose what we want to create in our lives.

Motivated by a series of cancer deaths in my family in my early 20’s, I began a lifetime search for understanding of what makes people sick and what supports wellness. After 50 years as a healthcare practitioner, instructor, and consultant, I see Feng Shui as energetic medicine for our surroundings, and the missing 4th in the mind/body/spirit model of health and wellbeing. It may be the key to recurrence of serious illness, failure to heal, and failure of addictions treatment programs to change habits.
The purpose of my Feng Shui work is always to empower clients and students. By developing awareness of the influence of surroundings, and learning and applying the principles of Feng Shui, conscious choices can be made to effect and support change.
Judith’s professional training in Feng Shui consulting was with the Western School of Feng Shui , followed by ongoing mentorship in the Tibetan Buddhist (BTB) tradition of HH Grandmaster Professor Lin-Yun with Katherine Metz. Judith has been a Feng Shui practitioner since 1996, and has been teaching seminars in basic Feng Shui principles in colleges and for private groups and organizations since 2002.
Judith contributed the chapter, “Practice Makes Perfect,” to The Western Guide to Feng Shui for Prosperity by Terah Collins, Hay House, 2002. Her article, “Reflexology, Affirmations and Feng Shui: Combining Three Healing Modalities” was published in the International Council of Reflexologists newmagazine, September, 2006.
Although I maintain a part-time reflexology practice, Feng Shui consulting remains my first love because I have seen the greatest changes occur in the lives and health of my Feng Shui clients.
Much of Judith’s current Feng Shui work is with former clients requesting a new home consultation. “Return clients are the greatest compliment.”
