Feng Shui Consultant helps a Pregnant Mum

Posted by Jane Langof on 27 June 2011 | 4 Comments

A good friend and fellow Feng Shui consultant, Nikki Manno, told me the story of a consultation for her client Rachel*, who had a history of miscarriage and pregnancy complications.  I wanted to share her story in the hope that this may help other mums who have suffered through similar problems.

Rachel was in her 30s when she started trying to have a baby.  The first time Rachel fell pregnant, she experienced cramping throughout her pregnancy, which devastatingly resulted in a miscarriage.  Rachel fell pregnant a second time, and again, experienced constant cramping.  Half-way through her pregnancy Rachel gave birth prematurely, and sadly, her baby boy died.

Rachel became pregnant for a third time, and met Feng Shui Consultant Nikki Manno, whom she had asked for a Feng Shui consultation on the design of a new home in Sydney's Northern Beaches.  Rachel was having a problematic pregnancy, with contractions and cramping occurring every day.  When Rachel told Nikki about her history of failed pregnancies, she realized that there was a more urgent issue to investigate than the floor plans of Rachel's new home. 

Nikki's knowledge of Building Biology principles led her to consider that Rachel's living environment could have had a role to play with her pregnancy complications.  She noticed that external power lines were connected to the home directly outside Rachel's bedroom and along the wall where she placed her bed.  Electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) were tested around the bed, and it was discovered that radiation levels were very high - between 5mG-12mG.  The safe level recommended by the Association of Building Biologists is 0.2mG for a bedroom.

Nikki advised Rachel to move the location of her bed to another side of the room where electro-magnetic field readings were much lower.  She also recommended that Rachel move her clock radio at least two metres away from her bed head, as digital clock radios generally emit high EMF levels.

The day after Rachel made the recommended changes, she excitedly rang Nikki to tell her about the first night where she experienced no cramping or contractions.  Rachel continued to have a normal pregnancy, and several months later Nikki was thrilled to hear that Rachel gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

Rachel's story demonstrates the importance of managing Building Biology risks in the home and how issues such as electro-magnetic fields can affect your health and wellbeing.  When choosing a Feng Shui consultant, make sure they are a qualified, and that their Feng Shui consultations include Building Biology reviews to check electro-magnetic fields around your home.

As a Feng Shui consultant, I believe that avoiding Building Biology risks is critical when considering Feng Shui in the home.  Have you heard of a similar story or do you have an opinion to share?  We'd love to hear it.
