I was introduced to Mark by a friend to have a look at the layout of my new condo. I never really believed in Feng Shui, but I must say that Mark changed my mind. After consulting with Mark, my space immediately felt more comfortable. A few months later, my career took some very unexpected and serendipitous turns. I'm grateful to say that I am now travelling the world and expanding my business. Thank you Mark for such amazing help!

As someone who tends to think rationally, I've been skeptical about Feng Shui, considering it a bit mystical. However, going through the process with Mark and experiencing his personalized explanations that connect to my life, I'm truly amazed. The tangible impact of these principles has convinced me, and I wholeheartedly recommend everyone to explore this opportunity. I think his communication and consulting skills are second to none.

Mark Ainley’s observations about commercial real estate are absolutely on-point in terms of space and flow, which in turn has a marked impact on consumer behaviour.
I’ve been with Mark on tours where he articulated issues around retail spaces, both inside and out, and I’ve learned a lot from him about how a space should be set up for optimal consumer movement. Mark was able to accurately determine if a business was doing well sales-wise just by analyzing what he saw (I knew about all of these businesses and Mark’s assessments were 100% accurate).
For a business looking to optimize appearance and flow, I would not hesitate to recommend Mark as someone to analyze spaces to suggest changes to create the best retail experience possible.

When I met Mark, I was quite low and in a pretty tough place. He has given me power to increase flow in all areas of my life and it works. With surprising ease, I quickly paid off my debts, signed an amazing contract, and experienced many other big shifts. I now feel in charge of my life and I thank Mark!

In 2011-12, we had Mark deliver workshops to our teachers on the impact of the physical environment on student learning, focus, relationships as well as teacher energy levels and productivity. It was a resounding success and our teachers started implementing his Feng Shui teachings in their classrooms that very day and later in their homes. We all noticed the improvements in the classrooms with our students' engagement and our own energy levels. This was hugely popular and practical professional development that I've carried with me into all of my roles since then. The return on investment for working with Mark is high.

I’ve done a few consultations with Mark on my apartment and I’m not exaggerating when I say that I have since experienced dramatic shifts in both my career and my personal life. The most notable of these results came recently after a 3rd consultation in which Mark strongly recommended that I deeply clean & reorganize my terrace, including my AC extractor fan, large jade plant, and other furniture which would be better if removed or rearranged.
Mark told me that if I transformed the terrace and all its contents I would likely see some big changes quickly. Two days after I finished these adjustments, I began a series of meetings which has now landed me with a total transformation of my business structure: new manager, new record label, new booking agency. These changes have very quickly led to a sharp increase in my earnings and opened up a myriad of new and exciting opportunities to expand my career.
Feng Shui works and Mark is a world-class expert who has transformed my life through his advice. If you want to see some real changes fast, I recommend booking in for a consultation immediately.

Working with Mark is always a delightful and eye-opening experience. His contemporary approach to feng shui is the perfect blend of traditional practices with modern-day life. He helped me view our home as a story of the things we love and value most, and that shift in perspective allowed us to create a more harmonious space.
— Sarah Vienot | Ontario, CANADA
In the seven years I have been working with Mark, he has helped me gain tremendous insight from working with what is available in my home to bring more flow, balance, peace, and power to each space. I appreciate his keen eye and his non-judgemental approach to helping me work with what I have and where I currently am in my life.
When I invited agents look at my home prior to putting it on the market, one of the agents noted, “It feels like every piece in the home has a specific purpose and is placed intentionally.” Within a week of listing my home on the market, I received 4 offers, all well above asking price.
Once you work with Mark, you will notice beautiful blessings of synchronicities and a deeper trust in yourself to create a space that is profoundly supportive as you navigate your life journey.
— Tiffany Minorgan | Montreal, CANADA
We have had Mark lead a series of live sessions at our showroom over the last five years. His talks are always engaging and spark conversations among everyone in the room, inspiring many to stay hours afterwards to continue discussions late into the evening!
— Celine Ruffett, Teknion A&D Market Manager | British Columbia

From career to reputation to wealth and more, the energy of life flows through my home beautifully and lets me thrive.

Mark has assisted me with a number of various projects and has always provided very clear and concise advice surrounding Feng Shui. I would recommend his services to anyone that wants to be educated or form decisions around their current home or new home purchase. First class and always very professional. I strongly recommend his services!
— Brandan Price | Vancouver, CANADA
Mark has for a long while shown me how I could improve certain aspects of my life through Feng Shui. At first I was quite skeptical, but then started to understand the principles and ideas behind it, and it was fascinating to discover such a meaningful art. The changes I made to my house, thanks to his suggestions, made quite a noticeable difference.
I am really glad to have followed the interesting seminars he offers, and as soon as I applied some of the ideas taught, I quickly saw an improvement in various aspects of my life.
— Samuel R | Milan, Italy
Mark has delivered many in-person and online presentations for our network of interior designers over the past five years, and they have always attracted seasoned industry professionals and received very positive feedback. He's quickly overcome the skepticism that interior designers might have about Feng Shui, and his practical approach and engaging presentation style has made him a very popular presenter and member of our professional community.
— Danny Chase, Founder - Chase Office Interiors | BC, CANADA
I always struggled with what was right for my space, even with my best intentions I'm not an interior designer or claim to understand the art of Feng Shui. Enter stage right the multi-talented Mark Ainley of Sense of Space Contemporary Feng Shui, who I've been working with to transform our home.
In a pre-consultation talk and one session there has been so much transformation and tons of inspiration! I'm hanging out in places that I used to not frequent as they are so warm and welcoming now. It’s a work in progress, but I can already feel the difference, and cant wait to continue working on our home.
I highly recommend you contact him for a consultation and make your home a warm and welcoming place that you love to be in!! You owe it to yourself!
— Eileen Lewis | San Francisco, USA
Mark Ainley is a Godsend! I experienced many blessings implementing the principles he teaches in his courses. It’s become a daily life practice for me and I am so grateful most of all for the joy I feel in my cultivated home environment. The joy and grounding brings me a deeper confidence and connection to the greater community at large.
Mark does a wonderful job revealing connections between the state of our external environment and the challenges we face internally and in our lives. These revelations have allowed me to grow financially, creatively, and spiritually as I continue to do the daily work. He has helped me to see that everything is important. Everything I choose to own, every space has a meaning and purpose.
This recognition is a gift which enlivens my work, my relationships, and my whole attitude to detail and meaning. It’s a form of self care that is truly groundbreaking. Being in a community of like-minded enthusiasts and students has felt like a family that is supportive and caring as we are all learning together and making discoveries and having epiphanies along the way.
He is a great teacher - and he’s also funny, whimsical, and current with the times. I’m so glad I found him!
— Minnie Murphy | Nashville, USA
Mark helped me transform my bedroom and those of my older teen children into beautiful sanctuaries! I had been wary of consulting a feng shui specialist, as I didn’t want “superstition” to dictate my designing decisions.
Mark was brilliant in showing me how practical feng shui actually is. He worked with what we already had in the space and helped arrange things in such a way that walking into my bedroom feels supremely harmonious and peaceful. Both my children started taking more pride in their rooms, and even when my son moved into his own place, he applied the feng shui principles he had learned with Mark to his new suite.
Mark has a great way of connecting with young people which makes them feel seen and heard, and he combines what he hears from them with his vast knowledge and expertise in feng shui. As a result, my children have a renewed sense of owndership and pride in their private spaces.
Working with Mark has transformed the way I approach my living space and introduced new levels of peace and harmony into my and my children’s lives!
— Michelle Mares | Victoria, CANADA
Any time Mark offers something (a webinar, a course, a masterclass), I don't even read the title, I just sign up! Whatever the topic he chooses to address, I know that it will bring me perspectives I had never thought of before and it will open up my world to new possibilities.
The fact that he can do this while giving us very practical advice that is easy to implement right away is just magical! Wherever I have implemented his advice in my home, it has been transformative.
— Sophie Lechner | New York, USA
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mark on several occasions when I moved into my new home, and then when my new partner moved from London, England to be with our family. I had many questions at the time, especially to do with finances and the merging of the two homes and families, and Mark was very patient in hearing me out: he helped me find a clear path to improving those areas of our household. We paid particular attention to the living room and the kitchen, areas that had been gathering clutter for many years. I found as soon as I adjusted the organization and colours involved in spaces, things really did start to change for us in our family. I have kept the layouts and suggestions that Mark made ..and I have found that the consistent benefits are still there. I really do believe in Mark and his work and I’m so grateful for how easy it was to work with him and how patient he was to work with and… the results are really what have impressed me the most.
— Monika Mackenzie | Halifax, CANADA
I have been a longtime Feng Shui client of Mark, and he has guided me to many great successes, from finding the love of my life to landing my dream job in academia. Mark has transformed the spaces around me, especially our home and my university office, into well-balanced, vibrant, and harmonious places. I love going to work and being inspired by my office, and the balance and harmony in our home enables me and my husband (and three fur babies) to face the world’s challenges with joy and love - all thanks to Mark’s expert guidance. His approach to Feng Shui resonates deeply with the current times, and I highly recommend him without hesitation.
— Ross Salvosa | Seattle, USA
Mark has helped me understand the principles of Feng Shui through his inspired teaching and long-term ongoing support. I have participated in several of Mark’s online programs and courses, such as “Finding The Flow” and “The Story of Your Stuff”. Not only do I always learn something new and actionable myself, but it is a delight to watch my fellow program participants experience lightbulb moments while Mark is teaching. I’ve seen his online students actually get up while he is talking and start rearranging their living space with joy and ease - even though they just told us all on Zoom that that space has felt stuck and stagnant for years.
Mark uses memorable and engaging illustrations that bring his points about spatial arrangement home. Many of his slides are etched in my memory as I think about the principles he’s taught. Before I met Mark, my relationship with the space around me was confrontational: I was applying incorrect design principles (or no principles at all) and the result was inharmonious. Not only did this create a space that didn’t support me visually or practically, but it also led to negative ripples in other areas of my life.
After working with Mark, I understand “the story of my stuff“ in much deeper and more nuanced ways. His teaching and coaching provide a depth of insight and level of personalized guidance that I have not seen anywhere else.
If you have the opportunity to work and/or learn from Mark, you will consider yourself (and your home) truly blessed.
— Rebecca Cuevas | Los Angeles, USA
Mark Ainley combines artistic and spiritual vision in his work, blending his sense of my home and space with my needs and goals. The results have been nothing short of astonishing in all aspects of my life, thanks to a practice about which I had in fact previously been skeptical. I’ve continued to attend his online presentations to further integrate what has led to essential and meaningful growth.
— Zsolt Bognar | Cleveland, USA
I've had the opportunity to work with Mark for Feng Shui consultation for my home and office. Mark is extremely knowledgeable, and has an extraordinary ability to merge the practical with the mystical.
In my office, there is now an incredible feeling of vibrancy and flow. Mark works in a very collaborative manner and has offered wonderful feedback which I believe has helped my business thrive. I truly love stepping foot inside my office and it has been very rewarding to take in Mark's suggestions and feel the immediate shifts as a result.
In my home, Mark has helped me make strategic decisions, and has brought to my attention how I can create more balance and beauty. This has resulted in a space that is welcoming, more organized, and supportive to me and my family.
I have taken Mark's course "The Story of Your Stuff" three times. Each time I have several lightbulb moments that give me the inspiration and energy to continue to facilitate even more positive flow in my home and office. What's more, Mark's unique style and insight creates an appreciation of how our home, our office, and our things exist on both a physical, emotional, and symbolic level, and that by influencing one, we influence the other. I recommend Mark very highly!
