Testimonials


“Marie Elena, first, let me say WOW! Our consultation was life changing. I was so charged that I started implementing your recommendations immediately. Thanks again for such wonderful experience.”

—Alicia G. Larry, Kaiser Permanente



“What has happened since my Feng Shui consultation is amazing. It is the best money I have spent in a long time.

From the moment after Marie Elena did a Feng Shui consultation in my home, I have been like a mad (happy) woman clearing, cleaning out closets, kitchen cupboards and old boxes of papers. I am completing work in my yard and adding a fountain, waterfall and ponds.

I am just astounded at the changes that have occurred in just three short weeks. I am seriously looking at going to school and am beginning to look for employment, which I felt incapable of doing until now. I am continuing to lose weight and am fitting into new clothes and getting rid of old ones. I am looking in the mirror (full length) for the first time in five years. I am buying new clothes, and, oh, yes, I dyed my hair red! I am probably going to switch my office and bedroom around completely in the near future.

I am creating my life beautifully, clearly, calmly, happily, powerfully and intentionally. I do not know how to express how much Marie Elena’s beautiful energy and Feng Shui knowledge have contributed to my life. She is beautiful, kind, on purpose, alive, full of valuable knowledge, communicative, supportive and available. I am blessed to know her and share her enthusiasm for Feng Shui and life. Thank you, Marie Elena!

— Nina Stewart


"Since working with Marie Elena, my life has changed dramatically. I've had one of the most prolific months of my professional career. Booking five TV acting jobs as well as an invitation to perform stand up comedy at one of the most prestigious arenas in the country. She has taught me to be mindful of my living space, keep a clean and orderly home, and organize my living space to address areas of my life for improvement.

Plus, Feng Shui is so much fun. I regularly go to flea markets, thrift shops, new age stores and Chinatown looking for the next thing that will make a living space better. The history and knowledge of Feng Shui are fascinating. You will be introduced to a world where you have the means to make positive change. Feng Shui will do wonders. Good things will come after working with Marie Elena.

Most of all, Marie Elena is a true inspiration. You may not believe in everything that Feng Shui has to offer. But, after working with her, you will believe in Marie Elena and her deep desire, dedication and diligence to help you improve your life."

— Alex Endeshaw, Comedian & Actor


"Marie Elena Rigo is THE FUNK SCHWAY QUEEN!

Marie Elena came to my house and went through each room and thoroughly explained all of the Feng Shui elements to it. What I found so special about Marie Elena is that SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES! Have you ever spent time with someone who truly LOVES what they do and they're like a gleaming beam of light? That's Marie Elena.

She took so much time to explain everything to me and to teach me about the art of Feng Shui and how I could do just little things that will make a big difference in my life energetically. She didn't tell me that I had to run out and buy anything! Marie Elena has simple, inexpensive and creative ideas to help me in creating the Funk Schwayed home of my dreams! She also is a great listener and tailored our session around what I told her that I was looking for in my life."

— Audre Nelson


"I'm thrilled to share that I have quit my very stressful job and will be doing private tutoring and freelance photography. Also, on the guy front, earlier this year an old friendship sprouted into something much more! I feel I owe these major changes in my life partially to Marie Elena. As she suggested, I bought a dinner table and began cooking more, got rid of a multitude of books, moved the shelves around, moved the couch so it's not floating, hung curtains in front of my closet mirrors, and then this new level of intimacy (and self-love) entered my life—almost immediately! He loves my apartment space, and says that it makes him feel calm.

I still have much more to do with Feng Shui, but I'm so thrilled with the results. She has been such an inspiration!"

— Maria Ventura


"Marie Elena is a wealth of information on Feng Shui and has a very practical approach that is user-friendly. Since working with Marie Elena, I focused my energy on my Love & Marriage corner. In using her suggestions, I instantly manifested a love relationship. This stuff really works! I would highly recommend her services."

— Claire Pearce


"After our Feng Shui consultation with Marie Elena, my roommate Maya and I felt we had just awakened to an entirely new, thoroughly sensible and exciting way of looking at our shared living space. From concrete suggestions (such as advice on how to articulate boundaries between different areas) to more theoretical reflections (for instance, on the importance of balancing the elements in each room to create a harmonious experience), Marie Elena gave us the power and inspiration to really enrich our home. She has a gift for asking the right questions and making people feel at ease. I really enjoyed working with her
she is a sensitive, caring and knowledgeable consultant and coach."

— Mitra Martin


"Working with Marie Elena was simple and gratifying. She listened to where I was and where I wanted to go and got me there through transforming my home! My children, home and overall well-being have benefited from Marie Elena’s Feng Shui consulting and coaching skills."

— Julia Frankel


“Marie Elena speaks from her innate wisdom, and her guidance is clear, effective and highly usable. The changes we made together have transformed my environment. Thank you ME!”

Barry Selby


“Thank you so much for the gentle and compassionate approach you took in working with me and all of the ‘clutter’ in my home. Your neutral feedback was just what I needed to move through the many layers of resistance I’ve experienced to truly simplify my space and my life. You are a gifted and insightful way-shower; both grounded and professional, with great spirit and humor.”

Teresa Renner, M.A., M.F.T., Pacific Coast Counseling


“Skeptical at first, I didn’t realize how deeply my surroundings were affecting me. Now that I have implemented Marie Elena’s suggestions, I love being in my space and my energy levels have surged.”

— B. McLaughlin

"Marie Elena's passion for her work is evident from the very first moment of working with her. I had such a great experience. She used her intelligence, intuition, and superior feng shui training when providing me with a consult for my home. I felt empowered by the information she provided. I also love the interior design suggestions she made. My home feels more comfortable — it feels like me. I highly recommend Marie Elena to anyone wanting to make positive change in their home or work environment!"

— Michele Ayan, Business Coach

"It was such a pleasure meeting you and having you grace my home. I was up until 1:00 a.m. that night moving furniture. Your suggestions about moving the desk near the fire place, freeing up the space on my balcony, and putting the table in my dining area has worked wonders. First of all, I now have this wonderful little meditation spot on my balcony that I actually use. Secondly, I now have a place to eat. Ha! What a concept. And lastly, I love my desk against that wall. I truly feel like I use ALL the space in my home now.

I also got inspired to change my room and even bought a beautiful piece of furniture to shift the space that holds my altar. It is much clearer now and less obvious. I have put so many of your suggestions into action... wow… I feel so much better! Overall, I am deeply inspired and am so grateful for our session. Thank you dearly for your diligence, support and generosity. You are a God-send.

With blessings of prosperity and a heart full of appreciation,"

— Veronica, Santa Monica, CA

"We LOVED meeting you yesterday. What a life changing experience!! We already rearranged the living room and Melisa's room and the house feels AMAZING. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You are a true BLESSING! Thank you for helping us transform into better beings. Your wise words and beautiful spirit have changed our lives. We can’t wait to see the new changes our super-powered, calm, beautiful, clutter-free, lively, balanced home will create in our lives."

— Liz & Melisa Angulo, Los Angeles

"Marie Elena’s years of business experience combined with her knowledge of Feng Shui made her recommendations particularly useful for me as a business owner. Her suggestions were not only related to Feng Shui, but included marketing and aesthetic ideas that were very helpful."

— Jonathan Teller, Cremalita


"After making the changes Marie Elena suggested for the office, the last two months have been the most successful in the company's history and they greatly exceeded their sales goals. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the results."

— M. Thorsell, BirdBarrier of America


Marie Elena Rigo Feng Shui'd my Office and She is Awesome!!!

"She is affectionately called 'M' 'E' and is a professional from beginning to end. She is organized, creative and service-oriented. Before my office consultation with ME even began, I was impressed with her level of preparation. And, that experience continued throughout the process of procuring furniture and decorations. She was absolutely accountable in every facet of her actions. I trusted her implicitly, for she is authentic and committed to her work. ME's talents in spatial awareness and interior design are a powerful combination.

It was an awakening to have a few items placed in my office for a new, fresh feeling of spaciousness and natural flow. Not only did ME find the perfect accessories while staying within the parameters of my nominal budget, she also created a space that is comfortable and classy.

Marie Elena prides herself on doing whatever it takes to complete the job and is committed to customer satisfaction. She is service-oriented and conformed to my schedule — resulting in a very convenient Feng Shui process.

After implementing Marie Elena's Feng Shui suggestions and having her procure the items I needed, I am experiencing a lighter and more productive work environment. It is a pleasure to be in my office and reside in a positive, energetic space. Further, I am now experiencing great success in my work efforts and a serene calmness during the work day.

I look forward to a very accomplished and abundant year as a result of ME and her consultation. ME is definitely heart-centered and gifted with her Feng Shui practice!

I would encourage anyone in the business world to hire Marie Elena for fabulous, even miraculous results."

"A few days ago, I listened to your talk about the Feng Shui of an office. It was like a light bulb went off or really like I was granted permission to clean out my closets and files. I threw out six huge bags of stuff and I am pleased to say that unexpected business, new opportunities and ideas have come my way this week. Thanks for your inspiration and reminder that an uncluttered office brings peace and more business!"

— Susan Levin, Speaker Services


"Marie Elena Rigo can assist you in making your home or work environment an experience of joy and freedom.

Recently, I moved from Denver, Colorado to Ventura, California. I was hired by Unity Church as the new minister and my job was to grow the congregation. When I walked into the church for the first time...my heart sank.

The environment felt cold and dreary. It was not a pleasant place to be or worship. I knew my first task was to make the place feel sacred and safe for all those coming to a church service.

Then along came Marie Elena with her feng-shui expertise. She spent quality time with me, making suggestions to transform the church.

Shall I just say....the feng shui efforts have been remarkable! Just two weeks after implementing Marie Elena’s feng shui suggestions, the congregation doubled in size. Last week, there was standing room only! People standing, sitting on the floor...anywhere they could get a space...The atmosphere is joyful, loving and sacred. And, the people that we are attracting are people who are serious about their spiritual journey and are a joy to be around. The feng shui is not completely done, yet...but so far, I am amazed at the difference it has made.

Marie Elena put all of her recommendations into a report that I can refer back to when I need to and followed up with e-mails and phone calls. I have felt her loving support along the journey. She has been wonderful to me.

I cannot recommend Marie Elena enough...If you want to change the way things are in your life or work environment...THEN GIVE HER A CALL. I know you'll
be glad that you did!!!!"

— Reverend Cathy Norman

Marie Elena Rigo is grace embodied. She brings a combination of supportive listening skills as well as a loving motivation to each of her coaching relationships. Our work together was thought-provoking, inspired and uniquely personalized. After working unsuccessfully with various psychologists throughout my 20’s, I discovered the power of coaching, which placed the emphasis on possibilities rather than disabilities; and allowed me to find the courage and answers I had been searching for within myself. With Marie Elena’s guidance I was able to awaken to my purpose in life, and for that I am very grateful.”

— Kate Kennedy, Seattle


"My new nickname for Marie Elena is ‘Turbo’ because that’s exactly who she is in her help with the design aspects. She is also proving to be formidable in the coaching realm. She was the one who really helped me beat my story this month. She is a great help and very available via email or phone. She is very professional."

— K.W.


"At first, a Life Coach to me meant getting help in organizing, reaching goals and becoming successful. It took only one meeting with Marie Elena to know that her work went far beyond the standard Life Coaching description. She helps in integrating the physical with the spiritual; the mind with the heart; the soul with the body. For more than a year and a half, we’ve worked together and I’ve had a phenomenal journey. With Marie Elena at my side, cheering me on and helping me pave the way, I am becoming integrated — mind, body and spirit."

— HMA, Los Angeles


"First, I want to share my total appreciation for the gift that you are. In the loving space that you hold and the masterful way that you facilitate, I found myself able to discover possibilities for my life that I hadn't considered. Suddenly, there's space for movement into new directions as rigid assumptions about what needs to happen or how long it might take for a dream to be realized are let go of. The depth of your own inner work is so apparent, and as a result what flows through you is truly transformative."

— Steve Wolk, CEO Silicon Grove, Santa Monica


Your workshop had quite an impact. I have been ruthless about clutter since my return. Along with the keynote speaker, it was the highlight of the conference for me!

— Susan Lichtblau, MS, CRC, Program Director, Gilda's Club Western NY


“Thank you so much for your absolutely delightful presentation. The turnout was great and the interest level was very high, as 'clearing clutter,' is an appealing topic to the public. Your treatment of the subject was professional, erudite, and practical. I especially appreciate how you engaged your audience and answered questions and comments with knowledge and patience.

Your great displays, helpful handouts and words led us to understand the basics of Feng Shui. Several attendees told me they would like you to speak again. Thank you for putting challenging concepts into do-able solutions that will stay with us in our daily lives. I especially loved your practical ideas to 'avoid distractions' and I’ve already begun to view my home and work spaces differently to allow energy to flow. For all of your efforts, we thank you from the bottom of our 'Feng Shui' hearts.”

— Frances Mendelsohn, Adult Librarian, Los Angeles Public Library


Marie Elena is one of our most requested speakers! She’s been doing talks for the Co-op since 2004 and always draws a crowd. Her presentations are informative, uplifting and extremely popular within our community.”

— Angelique Dolan, Marketing Director & Speaking Series Coordinator, Santa Monica Co-opportunity.


“Marie Elena's talks are enlivening and educational. Whether on Feng Shui, personal growth, or office productivity, she combines her warmth, professionalism, and passion to inspire and motivate any audience. Participants will leave with tangible tools to streamline their lives, home, and work.”

— Rebecca Underwood, Associate Curator, The Sculpture Foundation


"Thank you so much for your workshop. It definitely had an impact. I certainly can find things that I'm holding on to that have outlived their usefulness. It's been an interesting contemplation to ask what I get from holding on to these things and from having clutter in my life.  You are a very gifted public speaker, and as important, you hold a "space" and an energy as you present that allows for something powerful, in addition to the knowledge and wisdom you impart, to come through."

— Steve Wolk, CEO, Silicon Groove, LLC

 


I loved this CD. It is a very clear communication and very easy to digest. There is much to be said for the approach Marie Elena has taken. It is simple, clear and gets results. Covering these bases is essential prior to attempting more sophisticated methods.”

— Yasha Jampolsky, Feng Shui and Four Pillars Expert and Teacher

 


I’ve listened to this CD over and over again. Using the ideas and techniques on it, I was able to quickly transform my living space into a peaceful environment which was instantly recognized by roommates, friends and me. Thank you for a very valuable tool!"

—Greg Hain, Designer

 


I absolutely loved Marie Elena’s CD. Marie Elena, thank you for taking the mystery out of Feng Shui! I feel the difference I see the difference, and many of my new business ventures are flowing very well! And, it was so easy and pleasant to listen to, I just popped it in my CD player in the car, and voila!

— Darla Haun, Spokeswoman/ Voiceover Talent/ Real Estate Investor

 


"Marie Elena’s CD is professional, easy to follow and inspiring. The principles are laid out simply and clearly and they make sense! I’ve already applied some of her suggestions and can feel the shift in my environment. The best part is the CD is like a meditation – it calms me down and makes it easy to see where to implement changes. It’s a great gift for clients, family and friends."

—Linda Landon, Coach, Speaker and Trainer

 


"Your CD is fabulous!"
