Working with Feng Shui came naturally to Meryl Hyderally, owner of fengshui831. After studying and teaching ballet for more than 30 years, she sees possibilities from a creative and esthetic point of view. “My experience as a choreographer taught me to observe the fluidity in the spaces of a home or business. While I am working in a room, I can imagine how the occupants will relate to their space as if they were dancers moving across a stage,” says Hyderally, who finds joy when a space reaches its natural flow and becomes the space it was meant to be. “I love creating a beautiful and functional space, whether it is a closet or an entire home. Every space deserves the same detailed attention in order to translate your lifestyle into structure and function.”

Hyderally began learning about Feng Shui in 2003 through research, friends and other serendipitous events. “I now recognize that the principles of Feng Shui have always been guiding my life. However, it wasn’t until a pivotal time in my life that I was able to use its principles to shape my future and create more harmony and balance for myself,” says Hyderally. “Seeing the changes in my own life using Feng Shui to guide me is what motivates me to continue my studies and work so that I may support others in consciously experiencing the same benefits.”
