| Instructor: Helen Arabanos is a full-time Feng
Shui consultant and owner of Full Bloom
Feng Shui. Feng Shui has been a long time passion for Helen, even before she knew of the practice. Intuitively, at only 8 years old, she began moving furniture around to improve the feel of the room and "knowing" that specific colors were needed in certain areas. In 1987, she was introduced to Feng Shui, "The Art of Placement", by a man from China. This inspired her and ultimately lead to the development of her own practice. |
 |
| In 2005, Helen established her business, Full Bloom Feng Shui. She is an internationally recognized Feng Shui Practitioner who has been described as having "a flair for design." |
