“What I found most helpful was Nina’s ability to suggest styles and recommend products which are unlikely to go out of date.”

Nina specialises in the domestic sector using a unique combination of professional interior design and authentic feng shui, and also occasionally deals with small enterprises from diverse sectors of the business community. Nina offers personalised, tailored, professional design services. Her role is to provide her clients with advice, interpret their ideas, and produce designs that really satisfy their requirements based on their lifestyle, personal habits, needs and preferences. She can transform an interior with flair and imagination to suit a client's personality or a corporate image, creating an optimum environment that has a beneficial influence on people’s outlook, health and well-being.

Nina’s services save her clients time and money and prevent costly mistakes; people say it is money well spent. They also say it is an investment in the improvement of their homes, lives and the lives of their family members. Appointment times are flexible and her prices are clear and affordable with no hidden costs or extra charges. Nina’s services are 5 times more comprehensive in quality, value and expertise than most other interior designers because she operates as all of the following: colour consultant, interior stylist, interior designer, specialist designer and interior architect (excluding planning applications/compliance).

One of the benefits to Nina’s clients is that her advice and sourcing service is independent of manufacturers, retailers and suppliers so her clients trust her; they also receive the additional and unique value and benefit of authentic feng shui. Her profession is mostly relationship-based and trust is a very important aspect. To her knowledge no other service provider offers independent trustworthy advice, and sourcing services, therefore her services are unique.

Nina’s Chinese master training makes her feng shui knowledge and services not just authentic, but also unique. She believes she is probably the only authentic, and respected, feng shui consultant and the only, and best, feng shui designer in Ireland. During an economic downturn, people need to feel more positive and uplifted and that they have better support and advantages; these are the benefits of feng shui, so her services are of even more interest to people.

Nina is known for producing high quality design solutions and both her strong public relations profile and her portfolio inspire confidence in others. Her services range from providing an hour’s advice to managing full, and sometimes complex, domestic design projects. She has a solid client base, including clients who still book her services, since she first began trading.

To date Nina has had a very high success rate with her professional design and authentic feng shui design services. Repeat business, recommendations, testimonials and evaluations confirm service satisfaction and quality. In 10 years, not one of the designs she has drawn up (her detailed drawings of a set of elevations can take up to 16 hours to produce by hand) has ever been poorly received or rejected, nor have there been any fundamental changes proposed.

Nina’s design advice has also always been well received (her client testimonials attest to this) because her ideas are really good, her suggestions are based on practicality as well as aesthetics, she works within specified briefs/budgets/timeframes, and she has the technical knowledge to explain the reasons for her decisions regarding designs or supporting specifications to her clients.
Of the clients who booked Nina for authentic feng shui services, 75% of them voluntarily contact her at some point with feedback to tell her she has made a positive and even drastically positive difference to their homes and to their lives. Most of the clients who have booked one of these services tell her they are convinced the benefits she brought them were so worthwhile they will never again proceed on any future project without her advice or assistance.

All of Nina’s services are inspirational, motivational and empowering. When she informs and educates people, she stimulate them in an exciting way to take immediate action to implement the knowledge they’ve learned in order to make their homes, workplaces and lives better. The impact she has on people and their homes and lives is life-changing, from creating beautiful interiors and comfortable homes and workplaces to generating family harmony and happiness. Her clients’ feedback via their testimonials attests to this.

During a feng shui consultation Nina must show empathy, discretion and understanding as a lot of the time she deals with people’s personal, private and sensitive issues ranging from grief and loss to serious or terminal illness, bankruptcy and legal issues, divorce and family breakdown. Within a short period of meeting a client without any prior knowledge of them and their family circumstances, and sometimes without actually visiting the property they live in (they may have met at a half-way location), she can:

Accurately diagnose what has been going wrong for them regarding family, health, relationships, career and finances
Accurately diagnose what is not working well for them with the existing interior and what their needs are and how to prioritise them
Correctly relate information to them specific to them and their family’s personalities, health and the way they interact and communicate

Offer logical explanations both in terms of feng shui and interior design as to why these events have occurred/inconvenience exists
Effectively communicate with them on their wavelength so they understand the suggested changes as well as the resulting benefits to them. Suggest practical and aesthetically pleasing design solutions and offer simple suggestions for improving the health, wealth, happiness and harmony of the whole household

The ‘staging a property for sale’ service is also suited towards preparing a property for rental and has been very successful because, uniquely, Nina incorporates the powerful principles of feng shui to make the property especially appealing. Clients are so impressed with the results that some decide to continue living in the property ‘because it is finally a home’ and invest in further improvements, whilst others tell her that her service generated more interest from potential buyers/tenants, resulted in a quicker sale/letting sometimes at a higher price to committed buyers/tenants. In one case the first potential purchaser to view the property bought the house immediately after she viewed it. In several other cases, the first potential tenants to view the property signed leases within a short period without questioning the rent.

Nina designed her own high quality workshops in both interior design and feng shui where the learning process is hands-on, fun and interesting; this also helps to create better interaction between participants and better absorption of the information learned. Some of these workshops are held in a feng shui designed house. Regular repeat tutoring opportunities and constant feedback via participant evaluation forms, as well as from the students’ comments to the co-ordinators, confirms she is considered to be one of the top tutors in her field. Feedback from other organisations and individuals she has tutored is just as complimentary.
