If I were asked to give the IFSG a "good chi" rating, it would absolutely, without a doubt be a 10+! The IFSG , in my opinion, is one of the most expansive ways to generate awareness of Feng Shui. It was the very first connection that I made after receiving my certification more than 15 years ago, and it has been a wonderful source of information and exposure for my school and business since then.

As my school started to evolve, perspective students were contacting me after locating my information on the IFSG website. This definitely helped to build my business and has opened many doors for various opportunities and speaking engagements. Connect and expect!
