I’m so very excited to talk about my work with Susan.  Susan’s vast Feng Shui knowledge, compassionate heart and fun sense of humor helped guide me through a process to identify what’s really important to me in key areas of my life.  Together, we were able to make small shifts in my home to align with my personal, career and relationship goals.  Working with Susan has been fun, thought-provoking and certainly life changing!

Dear Susan,
I have to tell you much I completely enjoyed our session today.
I love your insight and supportive listening.
I found the whole experience very empowering.
The work outside was really fascinating. You were able to verbalize and offer solutions to things I'd been feeling but really couldn't explain myself. I look forward to making my changes and our next discussion.
-Lainie Saban

I love my Susan Balaban bracelets! They are so stunning, yet simple and classic. I have 2 favorites, one with gold tones and one with silvery tones and I where either, almost daily, paired with a hard bangle of either gold or silver. This is my "Go To" jewelry choice, because it's exactly "Me", classic and chic too! I always get tons of complements on her bracelets and regularly find myself purchasing them for friends, who just HAVE to have one!! Spiritually, the bracelets, to me, are soothing and add shimmer and sparkle to my day!!
-Tammy Mager

Susan is a gem in this world. In few hours she is able to fine tune your house and therefore enhance and transformed your life for the better. She is a dynamic listener, meaning she'll listen to what you want to achieve and will put all her expertise in Feng Shui to make it happen. She is realistic and all her advice are achievable. She is a giver of energy and positive thinking. If I could reproduce her a thousand times, this world would become a treasure. I feel blessed to know her and each time I meet with her the world around me seems to be brighter and happier.

I contacted Susan on a whim and my husband thought I was slightly insane. Then, from the second we lay eyes on her, we knew we’d met someone very magical. All of my husband’s skepticism immediate went out the window and we joke that we would hang upside down if Susan instructed us to do so. Not because Susan tries to exert power over you; in fact the exact opposite is true and she is totally collaborative. She just has this calm, reassuring, warm way about her that makes it clear you are in the presence of something great. The changes she made in our home brought us insight, calm, and enhanced enjoyment. The process thus far has been fun, emotional, and eye-opening. Working with Susan is unlike anything I have ever experienced and I am so happy that I contacted her!
-Elizabeth Holtz • Montclair, NJ

My partner and I found it easy from the very start to work with Susan because her warmth, enthusiasm, and friendly approach are accompanied by a strong and genuine interest in helping others.  When Susan came to our house for a consultation, she helped us to understand reasons underlying a problematic area.   We appreciated that she did not offer “the” remedy but instead was concerned with finding a solution that worked for us - and took the time reviewing options and discovering a remedy that we would embrace.
Susan is very attentive and present in her consultations, and continues to think about things afterwards, making connections, and adding insight and value.  It is easy with Susan to pick up where we left off.  Our initial consultation was the beginning of a much broader conversation and relationship.
Susan has helped me to appreciate my design intuition and to recognize that it is well matched with the principles of feng shui.  Her insights are inspiring and she motivates me to seek further understanding so I can help others realize the benefits of feng shui through my work.
--Dan Pacek • Home Design Consultant

Susan is intuitive, smart and fun and her work is always positive and always powerful. She enlightens and inspires you to make your life what you want it to be including improving health, energy, work or relationships. Her warmth, energy and passion make spending time with her an absolute joy. Susan approaches challenges with thoughtful and insightful ideas, and has enlightened our home and family and life!
--Jen Cordover • Tenafly, NJ

I can attest to the fact that work with Susan Balaban has been fun, illuminating and effective! Susan’s vibrant presence, warm heart and multi-layered mastery of the arts of Feng Shui, Astrology and the Tarot have illuminated my world. With humor and an impressively deft touch, Susan has helped me clarify and articulate my goals and concerns and given me strategies for coping with what challenges may lie ahead.

Susan’s Feng Shui and Astrological expertise prepared the way for the success of my husband’s new professional, creative venture. Since consulting with Susan, I see my own aspirations more clearly and understand how to manage the challenges and fluctuations of life with greater calm, humor and success! I wear a stunning combination of six of Susan’s gemstone bracelets and thereby am given not only great happiness at the sight of them but also the reminder of where I strive to focus my thought. Susan is a natural teacher and skilled guide, a nurturing master, and a treasure not to be missed!
-Nancy Hume • New York, NY

I am thoroughly enjoying working with Susan!  I feel energized by her electric, yet relaxed energy - if that makes any sense?  She is very centered and very present when she works with you and fully engages in her work.  Her 'work' IS her, it comes so naturally that she IS Feng Shui.  I am so thrilled with the results of just a couple of visits with her.  One example: She cleared out a whole bunch of junk and piles out of my 'money corner' that made way for some serious advances in my business.  :) Nice, right?
She also articulated some things that were subconsciously bothering me in my home and prompted me to do some rearranging that feels so much more pleasant and inviting.  If you haven't worked with Susan yet, I can assure you that you will enjoy meeting her and also the changes that will transpire after you meet her!
-Gillian Garrett

Working with Susan has been and continues to be a wonderful experience. Susan is a warm, nice, caring and amazing person. You feel immediately comfortable with her. To me it feels like, I have known her my whole life. Her knowledge and experience has helped us a lot. My daughter wasn't sleeping very well anymore in her bedroom. Since Susan has suggested some adjustments and cures in her bedroom, she has been sleeping very well! Thanks a lot.
-KD

Susan’s mind is open and her instincts are strong and she demonstrates such confidence, courage and joy in her work. Susan is an incredibly giving person and each astrology and tarot consultation I have had with her has awakened my potential on the deepest levels.
I always find Susan loving, honest, insightful, accurate, warm and responsible. I will continue to seek out Susan’s consultations and am grateful that she is part of my support system and my community.
-Dana Gagler • Monroe, NY

Susan has done her homework. She has both the information and the insight that has
guided me beautifully in the design of my new home. I trust her completely, because of
her endless giving nature and her ability to listen to me. She doesn't have an agenda, only
a passion to share her wisdom and kindness. I highly recommend her service.
-Tim Butler • Santa Fe, New Mexico

I called Susan for an inhouse feng shui consultation one year after moving into my apartment. Although I loved my apartment from the very start, I had a feeling that the energy was off-kilter especially in the bedrooms. After implementing Susan's suggestions the energy in the apartment immediately improved. In the kitchen, I found myself happily cooking big dinners for friends, only after adding mirrors to the walls. My daughter's foot issues cleared up and she was much happier after rearranging her bedroom. Rearranging my bedroom decreased my anxiety, increased my happiness, led to more meaningful relationships and much better sleep. My bedroom feels like a safe haven now, as opposed to room with a bed. I am so grateful for all of Susan's help.
-Julie Friel • Philadelphia, PA

Susan was amazing to work with. She is caring, insightful and extremely on point. She pointed me in a direction that was so beneficial to my husband and me and I will be forever grateful. Our relationship has benefited greatly from her knowledge and advice. We are not only saving money now, but making more as well. So happy to have her guidance and friendship as a part of our lives.
-Alicia Walker • New York, NY

Thank you for coming to my house and doing the work you do. Just to get space back into my bedroom has been a blessing. It also has been great to gain insight into myself and how that relates to the world. Thank you and may your career in helping people flourish and do well.
-Claudia Portnoy • Leonia, NJ

I had a wonderful time with Susan when she came to my house. She was extremely generous with her time and knowledge and came very well prepared to answer questions and offer suggestions,even on the subject of family relations. After just a couple of hours I felt like she was an old friend. One of the "cures" she suggested during our session worked almost instantaneously and was so easy to implement. My teenage girl had been complaining of headaches on almost a daily basis. Susan took a look at the placement of her bed at the far right corner of the house near one of the room's only electrical outlets and advised moving the bed out of the corner and away from the outlet. She also noted that we should take down the beaded ornamentation that was hanging directly over her pillow. All of this would serve to relieve pressure and reduce my daughter's headaches. We started to see results day one, and I can't say enough how grateful we are to Susan for this insight.
-Leigh Roumila • Ridgewood, NJ

After your consultation, my husband and I had a wonderful conversation and both came to the agreement that it was time to move to a larger house. If it weren't for your consultation and clearing work, I don't think the conversation would have ever been possible much less the fact that we came to a supportive agreement. Our marriage was suffering because he refused to leave our "small" space and it was suffocating my family. Now, after your cure and cleaning, we are ready to move forward and give our family the space it deserves. Thank you, Susan. This is just one example of the wonderful work you do.
-Barbara Grasso • Ridgefield Park, NJ

I have been very fortunate to have gained the acquaintance of Susan through a Feng Shui consultation that I purchased.  What I quickly realized was Susan’s extreme dedication and how selflessly she gave of herself to her clients.  After meeting Susan and having her visit our home to make an analysis, she gave us simple, cost effective solutions (adjustments,) that often only called for the rearrangement of furniture, or basic repairs, but that had an incredible effect on  the ease of our living space and assisted us in moving forward in career matters that seemed stagnant.
 
Through the use of crystals, minor but persistent health issues cleared and financial issues began to move in a more hopeful direction. Immediately after cleansing our home with the Orange Peel Cure she managed to reestablish a sense of calm, harmony, and belonging in our home that had long been lost.  Through her intuitive sense she offered guidance so that that we could focus our energy towards our new path in life. She told us that we would be relocating, and out of a list of employers supplied to her, she narrowed down the most viable options – and she was absolutely right. The potential employers she identified were exactly the ones where the interview process progressed successfully for my husband, eventually accepting an offer with the employer she had indicated would show the strongest interest.
 
Susan’s approach is very genuine, and you cannot help but feel her positive energy and her devotion. She is a good listener, will take her time to think about the solutions that are specifically beneficial to one's home and the person. Simply, what is of concern to you becomes of great concern to Susan.  I have found my Feng Shui expert for life! Needless to say all of her work is strictly confidential.
-YG • New Jersey

One of the first words I would use to describe Susan is generous. When I met Susan at a friend’s house, I was taken by her passion, broad intelligence and good sense of humor. She is immediately curious and interested in others. She invests. Susan listens carefully and genuinely cares about your story. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and laughter always punctuates talking. Also striking is how she weaves her knowledge of both Feng Shui and Chinese astrology into her own experience and the experience of her clients, and this, I think, forms the base for her own practice. Experience trumps information.

I loved my visit with Susan and consider her a friend. The few simple changes that we made after her consult had an immediate impact on how I felt and thought. I was surprised by this turn. I know Susan would be the first to agree with me in saying that there are many factors involved with choices and changes in one’s own life, yet after her visit, I was astonished by the influx of positive events and transitions that occurred and feel that her generous and compassionate nature was involved is some way. For this, I am very grateful.

Working with Susan Balaban has been and continues to be a great pleasure. My life was feeling very stuck on many levels. I now feel that things may be starting to move forward. I also feel a greater sense of calm and happiness these days. It has been a gift to work with Susan.
-Jamie P

Susan is an incredibly gifted and caring person who has much to offer anyone that wants improvement in any part of their lives. She has helped me change many aspects of my life that were stuck and going nowhere. Thanks to her knowledge and intuition, my home feels like a comfortable and inviting space. Two weeks after her adjustment in my relationship corner,  I am enjoying an wonderful relationship, after giving up on them for three years.  Within 72 hours of her adjustment of my career corner, I got great news of more work opportunity.
THREE CHEERS FOR SUSAN

These crystal bracelets are so pure in color, so spectacular in clarity and brilliance that I fell in love immediately. I have three which I wear together every day, something that I have never done with jewelry.
