Who writes this
Hi, I'm Amanda Clarkson, and I write and edit the guides here. I'm not a certified feng shui consultant. What I do is explain traditional ideas in plain English, show how they can work in ordinary homes and rented flats, and say clearly when something is a belief rather than a proven effect. You won't find promises of wealth or love here, just the reasoning and simple ways to try it.
