UK Residential Clients’ Feedback
On two separate occasions Sylvia has supported our family with Feng Shui consultations for our home. She was very professional and full of knowledge. She took time to understand our needs and our goals. She worked around issues and challenges that came up and reassured us. She addressed all of our points then gave really helpful recommendations that would work for us. Her advice was invaluable. I felt we were in very capable hands. We implemented her suggestions both times, which contributed to us having lovely, supportive energy in our homes and in our workspace. We've managed to create what we wanted in our home. I also received helpful advice that I can take forward in the future. I would recommend Sylvia to everyone wanting to learn about and apply the magic of expert Feng Shui to their homes.

“Sylvia was wonderful. I'd been thinking about getting our house looked at from a Feng Shui perspective for ages but I just couldn't justify it. Finally we made the decision and I couldn't be be more delighted. Since Sylvia suggested the changes in our home, I feel completely different about living in it. I genuinely feel that everywhere I look it sparks joy. She transformed spaces and rooms that I had no vision for and now every corner has meaning, order, purpose and beauty. It was well worth it and I highly recommend her.” Ness C. Camberwell
“Working with Sylvia has been an absolute pleasure. Besides being a master of all things Feng Shui, Sylvia has a kindness and warmth that makes her genuinely care about the recommendations she makes and the impact created. She is sensitive to one’s issues and needs and works effectively at arriving at solutions that truly make a difference. I worked with Sylvia in the midst of the covid lockdown and despite not being physically present at the property, her advice was spot on, which is a testament to her wisdom, expertise and skills in Feng Shui. It’s been a wonderful experience working with her and I can already feel the positive effects!” A. Ahuja London
“Dear Sylvia Firstly, I'd like to thank you for going beyond your usual Feng Shui remit, the time and careful attention you gave me by providing extra support during this consultation. Your report was easy to work through and well structured, your explanations of the reasoning behind some Feng Shui aspects were interesting and educational and I found the visual aspects helpful. I didn't realise how therapeutic the process would be and how quickly it was going to propel me along my journey. The changes in my life since I met you have been rapid and an eye opener, allowing me to grow and change for the better.” KB Purley
“Dear Sylvia, I have been meaning to write to say how much we appreciated your input in developing our home. Your sensitive expertise opened us up to new and exciting Feng Shui design ideas that have transformed our relationship with our living space and we feel much more ‘at home’ here.” Many thanks, Natalie London
“We have engaged Sylvia’s expertise on several occasions, with a very positive effect on our home and our commercial projects. A number of long term positive changes evolved through her consulting, both personally and professionally. We saw a significant improvement in our financial situation and have resolved longstanding personal issues. Sylvia is a very relaxing person to be around. She is realistic, insightful, reliable and an expert in her subject, all of which have brought us the results we wanted and far more.” Andrew and Nancy L. London
“I engaged Sylvia’s services because for six years we couldn't sell our prime location London flat, even though we had fully renovated it and we desperately needed to move. After Sylvia spent several hours consulting, the flat felt different, tranquil. Within a week we had a buyer, then a second prospective buyer. We exchanged at full asking price the following week. It happened so fast that I couldn't take it all in. My husband had many work issues during those years and his current contract was finishing. In our new home I placed water in a specified location to assist his career prospects. Two weeks later he was offered a well-paid new position without even having to apply for it, and he loves it. Our relationship has become closer too. What an astonishing year, I still have to pinch myself to believe it. Thank you Sylvia, for bringing us opportunities, harmony and happiness, you have been extraordinary and really caring.” Annmarie A. Surrey
“We excavated the basement of our house to create the main living space, The renovation looked exactly how we wanted it. So we were surprised that it just didn’t ‘feel’ right for some reason. It wasn’t the calming sanctuary we had hoped for. No matter what we did it felt cold. Sylvia came along and with just a few changes and some time on her own rebalancing it, the whole place has completely changed. So warm and cosy, it just feels right! The time we spend there is so much happier and our lives are more productive.” Trish South London
“I engaged Sylvia to carry out a combined Feng Shui and subtle environmental consultation. The results speak for themselves. For eight years my husband had tried unsuccessfully to advance his career position. He finally got his long-desired directorship only ten days after I put Sylvia’s recommended remedy in place. Overgrown neighbouring trees were blocking the energy flow to our own front door and affecting our lives. After Sylvia’s visit our unapproachable neighbour decided to move and the pleasant new occupant has trimmed the trees perfectly, without me even needing to ask. I feel so much more ‘connected’ now, and for the first time my children feel settled and happy in the house. If you intend to engage a Feng Shui consultant, you can feel confident of Sylvia’s expert guidance. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” M. Fairs Hertfordshire
“I engaged Sylvia because of her all-round expertise and indeed it is this aspect of her consulting approach that is bringing many positive results. Sylvia is very perceptive and her insights and recommendations have been quite fascinating. The to-do list doesn't seem at all daunting. I would happily recommend Sylvia's Feng Shui consultancy services.” Lee Green Client.
“I contacted Sylvia because I wanted to convert the one acre grass field attached to my 400 year old cottage into a traditional Devon country garden. Sylvia initially carried out a thorough site visit and extensive consultation. From this she produced an excellent outline plan drawing for the structure of the garden, as well as some really helpful suggestions for plants and planting schemes. In the year since her visit we have begun to bring the design to life and I am excited and truly satisfied by the results so far. I believe that they show Sylvia to be a skilful Feng Shui practitioner, as well as a kind and generous personality. Extending the principles of Feng Shui to our outdoor environment really has enhanced the quality of our home and enriched our lives.” Client Cheriton Fitzpaine Devon
UK Corporate Clients’ Feedback
“The prestigious apartment building,'The Knightsbridge,' employed the services of a Chinese Feng Shui master during its construction phase before opening in 2005. Ten years later a review of the building and its three gardens was needed. Sylvia Bennett was engaged to conduct that survey in 2015 and she continues to be our ongoing company Feng Shui consultant. The management team of The Knightsbridge and its residents set a very high standard, we expect the best and we are very happy indeed with the masterful expertise that Sylvia provides for us, including her Feng Shui design participation in our current major spa upgrade project and in various other areas of the estate. Sylvia is very sympathetic to the needs of the residents and her friendly and collaborative approach have made this a great ongoing partnership.”
Chris Barrass MD, The Knightsbridge Residents Management Company Ltd
“Dear Sylvia, Just a short note to thank you for your advice regarding our Feng Shui garden project in the hospital grounds, where we want to create a harmonious and healing outdoor space for patients. The structural work is almost complete and the water feature is being built following your recommendations. I would like to thank you for your time and kind gesture to help us without any fee. It is very much appreciated by all.” DR. Clinical Charge Nurse, Crisis Recovery Unit, NHS Hospital in Kent
“The London Electric Vehicle Company LEVC (the iconic former London Taxi Company) embraced Feng Shui in the construction of its new HQ and manufacturing facility at Ansty Business Park, Coventry. Its Chinese parent company Geely recognised that Feng Shui would help to project a strong corporate identity and enhance staff performance, leading to greater success for its new business development. Sylvia Bennett worked very closely with the company's Chairman and its architects to ensure the building's main features were properly positioned and the layout was optimised, and to improve the flow of energy throughout the building. Sylvia’s Feng Shui expertise also influenced the landscaping around the building to gain best advantage of the Water element of the adjacent lake, augmented by a stunning outdoor water fountain installation facing the main entrance and reception. As a result the building feels naturally energised and looks most impressive to everyone approaching the facility. LEVC personnel are performing more creatively and feel happy woring here.”
David Ollier, Head of Strategy, Public Affairs & Communications LEVC (former London Taxi Company)
International Cleints’ Feedback
“I was seeking the services of an accredited Feng Shui practitioner when i visited Sylvia’s website. Being a British trained architect residing in South Africa, i worked with Sylvia on a total re-development of my own home via skype and email. I was amazed by her in-depth knowledge on the subject matter. The long distance consultations with Sylvia yielded a design that has satisfied everyone in my family and we look forward to totally enhanced energy structure in our re-designed home.” Reesh Singh L&R Architects, Durban, South Africa
“I can thoroughly recommend Sylvia’s services. I engaged Sylvia for my house building project in France, having worked successfully with her on previous construction plans and land acquisition. I was able to discuss at length aspects that concerned me, such as the plot and house orientation, ease of living, spatial arrangement etc. Sylvia attended to all my queries and personal needs with great care. Having her recommendations, I attended my final meeting with the architect feeling confident I was committing myself to a comfortable, secure home that I would be happy to live in. ..… Recent feedback …Dear Sylvia, thank you so much for your latest consultation report for my new home, which I have been savouring rather like a book I don’t want to put down! You have again answered my worries and wishes in an extremely professional, yet altogether sensitive way. The suggestions you gave concerning areas I was unhappy with, and that I was able to put in place immediately, have helped me feel so much more at peace and connected with my home and surroundings. The difference it has made is quite incredible. Thank you again for your very personal involvement each time I have sought your advice.” Angela C. SW France
“I am delighted with my consultation with Sylvia Bennett. The first life-changing stage was by skype and using my I-Pad to visually walk through my Los Angeles home. The real magic happened when I booked her to visit my home. A total transformation took place under her careful and meticulous eyes. Since Sylvia consultation I have reunited with my estranged family and less than 24 hours after she left I was offered the best jobs in my costume stylist career. The investment of her visit has paid off a million fold, not only for the quick results but because my house feels so lovely and looks stunning! I highly recommend engaging her if you are ready for positive change.” Gamila Smith Celebrity Stylist & Costume Designer, Los Angeles, USA
“I consulted Sylvia for my new house construction project in Dubai. I requested a full architectural design review, environmental survey and energetic land cleansing. During her visit here, and prior to visiting, she helped me to develop the house plan, introducing many improvements to the original drawings largely based on Feng Shui. Sylvia is realistic, reliable and a real expert in her subject. She gave us her full support and brought us just the results we wanted. Her services also reduced the impact of certain negative circumstances regarding the project. My wellbeing and motivation also became stronger. It was an amazing experience for me. I intend to consult her again with the interior design plans.” Seddiqa S. Dubai
Students’ Feedback
Sylvia was my first point of contact at the European College of Feng Shui (ECOFS). From the start she was highly professional and communicative. She was an invaluable facilitator throughout the ECOFS practitioner training course, taught by Master architect Howard Choy, and I felt privileged to have learnt from two of the foremost professionals in the field of Feng Shui. As an experienced Feng Shui Master herself, Sylvia is able to discuss various topics within the field with an open mind and to offer alternative ways of thinking and approaching the task at hand. The extensive ECOFS course manuals she prepared are a testament to Sylvia’s depth of knowledge and understanding of the subject.
Since I qualified with ECOFS, Sylvia continues to be an invaluable point of contact with any queries I stumble across with clients. She is always willing to assist where possible, offering constant encouragement. It has really helped me to build my confidence as I enter the practice of Feng Shui. I can’t thank her enough for the continued support! Sylvia is a leading figure in the world of Feng Shui and I would highly recommend her to anyone seriously interested in either studying Feng Shui or to prospective clients seeking to use this timeless ancient practice to optimise their living environment.
