Jennifer was also featured on HGTV's Flip It to Win it, a show about the competitive world of flipping properties in the San Francisco Bay Area.
She began studying and practicing Feng Shui in 1995 in San Francisco's Chinatown, with immediate and impressive results. She pumped up her "Helpful People" corner, and met Academy Award Winning Film Editor Gabriella Cristiani. Gabriella had learned Feng Shui in China, after editing The Last Emperor, for which she received an Oscar in 1987.
After performing consultations with Gabriella, Jennifer studied the teachings of Master Larry Sang of the American Feng Shui Institute in Los Angeles, where she learned the oldest forms of Feng Shui: the "Form School", "Compass School", "Flying Star School" and "Eight Mansion Theory". In 1997, Jennifer created L.A. Feng Shui in Venice, California, where she worked with many movie studios, celebrities, artists, and actors. In 2000, she decided to leave the frenetic pace of L.A. and return to the Bay Area, where she established Feng Shui Style.
Jennifer also studied at The International Feng Shui Institute, in Kent, England, under Master Alan Stirling.
During Jennifer's time in Los Angeles, she was also involved in the film industry as an actress, script supervisor, assistant to the director, film editor, and post-production coordinator. And, as an interesting aside, she was a background actor in "One Crazy Summer" with John Cusack and Demi Moore in 1986, as she was living in Nantucket, Massachusetts at the time.
As for her "classical" education, Jennifer studied Humanities at Harvard University, with a major in French and History, which eventually led her to architecture and Historic Preservation. She also studied Design and Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art, Non-linear video editing at Boston Film & Video, Oil Painting and Italian in Florence, Italy, and International Business at Boston University.
All her experience and passions ultimately combined in the practice of Feng Shui, which involves architecture, color, design, people, history, and culture.
A typical "day in the life" involves Feng Shui, interior design, exterior design, flipping, architecture, home staging, energy clearing, ghost removal, and more! Being a Feng Shui Master is sort of like being a designer, a therapist, and a fairy godmother, all rolled into one. Think Marie Kondo meets the Long Island Medium, with a heavy dash of Million Dollar Decorators.
