Susan Balaban is an Astrologer and Feng Shui practitioner who uses her readings to empower people to live their lives with authenticity.

Susan found her calling in studying Black Hat Sect Feng Shui, which comes from the Bon tradition in Tibet and emphasizes following the flow of Chi (energy) in your home.
