“Feng Shui! What the heck is that? We could hear the buzzing in the heads of our employees as they listened to Catherine talk about her passion. We watched them carefully as they listened, asked questions and changed their minds. Before we knew it, everyone was on the band wagon. When we worked with Catherine on our offices (we've now done two!), we didn't see any raised eyebrows. What's happened since then? We're just about to complete a half million dollar project, have happier employees and feel more relaxed in our environment. We'd recommend Catherine Hilker and Creating Sanctuary, at the drop of a hat!”

“Catherine really helped my partner and I in our new home. We had spent a lot of time and effort painting and fixing up the house but in the end there seemed to be something lacking. When Catherine worked with us, her enthusiam felt contagious. She was down to earth and practical with her suggestions and always geared them toward what our needs and intentions were. Her blend of practicality and spirituality is inspiring. With just a few suggestions and different furniture placements, the house suddenly seemed to open up and feel lighter. It was such a good experience it inspired me to make changes all throughout the house, which I believe helped me with continued success in my business.”

“I have used Catherine Hilker's Feng Shui services on many occasions, she has helped us to release our home that had been on the market for a while and by the way sold two days later! She has come to our new home and guided us in many areas of Feng Shui all from teaching about Feng Shui principles, to helping us clear the old energy in the house and it does make a difference. We both have learned so much about the principles of Feng Shui and we have noticed big differences in our lives as result! We respect Catherine's knowledge and guidance and feel she is the utmost professional in the area of Feng Shui!

“The services of Catherine Hilker have been very helpful in the development of my new Condominium project, The Fifth Royal Oak, an 18 story residential condominium building located in the heart of downtown Royal Oak.

Catherine and I started clearing the site from any negative energy. After this way done we worked extensively in the positioning of the interiors with the goal of creating an environment to please and renew my resident’s spirits! She completely understands my concept of living environments which is to develop long term stress free elements and free flowing spaces.

Additionally, Catherine has been very helpful in clearing spaces on request. She is always respectful of people’s environments and beliefs. I think that Catherine is a gifted person who not only works hard, is punctual and respectful, but also that we are a little bit better off when she leaves because she is always in tune with her surroundings and helps others see ways to improve the balance.

I am very grateful, honored, and feel it a privilege to be working with her."

“When I decided to sell my house, I called Catherine. She came over and we went from room to room. She gave me her ideas which generally were about opening up space so prospective buyers could imagine their own stuff in the rooms. In one room I wished I had arranged my furniture that way for the eight years I lived in the house. Throughout the process of selling the house I never lacked for interested buyers and I never worried about the problems that arose twice with imminent deals falling through due to the financial circumstances of the prospective buyers. My agent and I worked well together and I lucked out in getting the city to fix a two year old sewer problem. A casual conversation with a friend resulted in getting someone whom I could trust to keep the place continuously clean and presentable. I took the obstacles in stride and remained confident. Catherine deserves a large part of the credit. My agent was so impressed that she asked for a referral to Catherine."

“Feng Shui for me has changed my life! The goals of my first Feng Shui consultation were to be more comfortable in my home and enhance my romance areas. It was a process. Catherine gave me the tools. Together we can up with the plan. Slowly it came together. I moved furniture around – what a difference. I finally felt at “home” in my house. I brought in more appropriate romance decorations, strategically placing them in the romance areas of my “new” home. And it happened! About a month after I bought the final piece, I started dating the man I love, the man I married. And I owe it all to Feng Shui and Catherine Hilker’s guidance.”

“Catherine Hilker exudes a wonderfully peaceful, calming presence. When she is there, the atmosphere of the space seems to become willing to change according to her direction. It’s as if the energy is drawn to her and wants to cooperate! As a professional organizer, I often use Catherine’s teachings in helping clients to clear out clutter and arrange their space for optimum efficiency, and I refer clients to her for in-depth analysis of their homes and offices. Catherine’s suggestions have brought positive change to my life and to those to whom I’ve recommended her services."

Just when you think you have yourself all figured out, she has the remarkable ability to help you see the truth in a pure and powerful new way. Her comments and questions are designed for the sole purpose of self discovery. All I can say is, don't hesitate. The work is worth it and your spirit and desires will thank you for it."

"My feng shui training experience with Catherine Hilker was exceptional. The material was well organized, easy to reference, and very thorough. I had many questions and Catherine made them easy to ask and always gave me a complete answer. I like to know the details and the less obvious nuances of a topic! She delivered!

Catherine's home and training areas were comfortable; they exemplified great Feng Shui and ideal energy levels. You can be confident with an instructor who clearly is able to practice what she teaches.

As a bonus, the meals were great, and the company was even better!"
