CLIENT TESTIMONIAL - KANA KAMITSUBO MARKOVIC
Kana Kamitsubo Markovic (Queens, NY)
Hug Music Owner/Pianist, Music Therapist
I am one of many satisfied clients of Ai's feng shui interior consulting service due to her passionate understanding of our lifestyle and unique needs!
I consulted with Ai for guidance on our rooms in my personal home and rooms in the music school that my husband and I manage in Forest Hills, New York.
Due to having hundreds of visitors coming in and out of our school every week, we were not only seeking a comfortable and beautiful space, but a practical and functional space for everyone to safely use.
Ai understood our needs right away after intently listening to our detailed needs and requests. Ai provided her expertise on feng shui's yin yang five elements and color theory, all of which I was excited for!
First and foremost, we decided the study room in our personal home needed to be worked on. The room served as our son's space and our office space where we'd complete administration work for our school business.
Ai advised that due to the fact that this room was located in the direction for the home master (my husband), she suggested to use this room as purely as the office space. After clearing out unnecessary clutter, my husband was able to focus better on his work. Before Ai's consultation, he often had to complete tasks in the living room where I'd frequently relax in making both of us restless and unable to focus on our tasks.
Ai advised with this private space for my husband, his role in our business would prosper. Initially skeptical and confused, we saw the benefits of the changes right away. What was a constant dependent effort between my husband and I which would actually leave me feeling drained, became a proper division of tasks where each of us could focus on our roles.
We then worked on our entrance area where Ai pointed out the disturbance of the vacuum's placement.
What I assumed was great for convenience, Ai urgently suggested that the vacuum was detrimental to the energy of the home and should not be what greeted us when our family and visitors entered the home. We learned that vacuums were not appropriate items for positive energy and luck. Realizing the entrance should be the introduction to our home, we decorated the wall with bright paintings. Our focus shifted to making this area more beautiful so that all who entered would feel joy.
Lastly, our school's reception and waiting area!
Due to the business of the school, we had prioritized the reception and waiting area to be more spacious rather than consider its function.
Ai's careful consultation helped us realize how many unnecessary and unused things in the reception area we had; a printer, a computer, a telephone and administrative documents in the files was important there, but the reception area was filled with unnecessary things. Things that I had planned to use but never did.
Ai taught us what to declutter, organization and how to utilize dead spaces so that our staff could move about the room with ease and purpose.
We completed this project by adding plants, wall decorations and re-coordinating colors, which made our the areas drastically bright and charming.
Ai's thoughtful arrangements were truly effective. Even our students and guests have begun to use our space with more thought. Seeing the organization, even our students began to help put back items in their rightful place!
After completing Ai's services, I felt and saw changes within a week!
I hadn't realized I was feeling stressed from feeling hopeless on how to tackle all the problematic spaces.
I had felt embarrassed and even guilty, but I have discovered confidence and great hope that our home and school will flourish. Ai's knowledge and passion to help people better their personal and professional lives have been so impressive.
I highly recommend you to use her service!

Arrangement Sample For Kana
1. ENTRANCE AREA
The vacuum cleaners on the left side of the entrance were the first things that caught our eyes when entering the house. Stroller was beside the shoe shelf. Ai advises against using 'practical tools' in the entrance area because the entrance area's role is to "welcome us."
Before, nothing was displayed on the wall which caused good energy to deplete. We do not want good energy to escape, but want to let it flow slowly in the house so. To do so, we displayed some art on the wall with a properly aligned rug
2. STUDY ROOM & KID'S ROOM
This room functioned as a home office and kid's play area. Ideally, it is better not to mix the home office and the kid's play area, but there was no option because of the limited space.
The room's coordination which was north west, would've functioned better as the office room.
Client's husband really enjoyed the dedicated office space and was able to complete work with a much clearer mind.
3. LIVING ROOM
Two guitars were displayed too closely to each other, which caused a sensation of unwanted pressure. All seating were away from each other not allowing family and guests to face each other.
Thoughtful rearrangement of furniture allowed for more fluid energy and a space where family could properly converse and spend time together.
3. RECEPTION & WAITING AREA (HUG MUSIC）
The waiting area was already nicely arranged, but there were several aspects that could've been touched upon for ideal function. We removed the trash bin, because it was the first thing we see when entering the school, as no practical tools should be seen on entering.
We replaced an old shoe rack with a nice wooden shoe shelf so that eyes do not need to see shoes exposed. We changed locations of the printer and documents to the places where the receptionist could find more easily.
