Business Client Love

The biggest surprise was after we made all of Cheryl's initial recommended Feng Shui changes to our clinic, our business tripled in volume and in income. Thank you Cheryl! - Dr. Athena Paradise, Portland Natural Health, Portland, Oregon

Working with Cheryl is a breath of fresh air. During the difficult and very busy time of completing our veterinary clinic, Cheryl was there to offer guidance in color selection, furniture and accessory choices and furniture arrangement. She was a grounding element that helped me look deeper at what we were creating. She didn't tell me the latest fads - instead she listened to me and understood my vision and helped me create what I really wanted - a beautiful, comfortable + healing space. - Dr. Kristin Sulis, DVM Mt. Tabor Veterinary Care, Portland, Oregon

Designing a yoga studio layout and developing the scope of work did not intimidate me, but when it came to the interior design, I wanted a professional that could just take over, make the decisions on interior elements and work her magic. And magic it was with Cheryl Janis.

In a very non self-promoting way, Cheryl told me color was one of her gifts. If I base all the compliments I've had on our colors here in the studio, I have no doubt about that. The overall interior design work has resulted in visitors saying they have a hard time leaving the studio because it has such a warm, nurturing feel. And I have the pleasure of working in this space every day.

Cheryl was the director of all the Feng Shui and Interior Design magic here and she continues her work as we seek to create the best environment possible for my clients. - Michael Roteik, Owner of Yoga Omazing, Portland, Oregon

The most unexpected gift working with Cheryl was how the space transformed before our eyes into the perfect reflection of our dream -- a beautiful, happy, and energetically balanced environment that everyone loves! We are so grateful to Cheryl for her guidance and for helping us to make our work so rich and joyful. - Dr. Igor Schwartzman, Whole Family Wellness Center, Portland, Oregon

Cheryl helped us totally transform our little Ideabox headquarters with new wall color and furniture layout. It was really surprising. The space went from a likable 'okay' reflection of our style (that we weren't totally in love with) into a professional, elegant and vibrant representation of who we are and the products we sell. We now LOVE the space and enjoy being here every day! Our confidence has soared and both visitors and clients love it too! Thank you Cheryl! - Jim Russell, Owner of Ideabox, Salem, Oregon

The results of the color choices were so phenomenal they even surprised us! Prior to painting, the space exuded a cold, industrial vibe. After painting, we loved it so much we felt like we wanted to move in! It became a warm, cozy and inviting haven! - Dr. Hope Valentine, Balanced Pets NW, Portland, Oregon

We’ve seen tremendous financial benefits to Cheryl’s Modern Feng Shui Design practice. After working with her, our business tripled in volume. Now our reception area -- affectionately called the Decompression Zone -- feels wonderful, relaxing and inviting. Patients hang out longer which has facilitated new, wonderful connections. - Josephine Fannin, Co-Owner + Executive Manager, Balanced Pets NW, Portland, Oregon

I have worked with Cheryl both professionally + personally. She cares deeply and helps tremendously and is a professional through and through. I highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in changing their lives and their surroundings at a very deep level. - Arlene Lord, Interior Designer, Lord Interior Design, Portland, Oregon

House Client Love

I started working with Cheryl when my partner and I bought our first house. It was a blank canvas and we wanted guidance on how to create the home of our dreams.

My first session with Cheryl was fiery, rich and fun! She generously shared her ideas and checked in frequently to make sure we were on the same page. When I expressed alarm at painting our ceilings anything but white, she encouraged me to implement changes as they felt comfortable. Paint one wall at a time. Feel it out. Well, the idea grew on both of us and the only white ceilings left in the house are in the bathrooms because they aren't painted yet!

I appreciate how easily Cheryl can reposition or repurpose objects in a way to instantly enhance a space. Then there are the changes made over time that can bring even greater shifts.

There have been so many positive changes in our lives in the year since we began working together. For example, within one week of updating our Wealth corner -- based on her suggestions -- I received a 25% raise at work and my partner received a significant + unexpected sum of money!!

Cheryl's wisdom, expertise, art and advice give way to magic. -- Janel + Leslie, N. Portland, OR

I have worked with Cheryl Janis regularly for the last decade. What I find most profound is that she has rarely physically been in any of these spaces! Thanks to the Internet, Cheryl is readily available with no commute. We bought our current house 3 years ago + Cheryl has been involved with every project. I save a lot of time, energy + money by regularly consulting with her. Cheryl is the first person that I go to when we are beginning a project and her guidance is always a highly beneficial source. Thank-you Cheryl Janis! I love your style! - Anne, Yoga Instructor, Olympia, WA

Cheryl very quickly understood our internal way of seeing the world and then worked from that, rather then trying to impose her belief system onto us. That's really a wonderful thing to do these days because people, I think, are often led by what they see and they don't really know, and it's genuinely refreshing that part of Cheryl's work is to look deeply into the person first, and then translate that into colors + energy + design. Thank you Cheryl for helping us to create a space that we never would have imagined on our own! - Jay, Artist, Contractor and Carpenter - Cloverdale, Oregon

We just finished moving art and furniture around and love it! Cheryl, you have changed our lives with your clarity, skill and soulfulness. As you know, my partner was not convinced prior to our meeting, but what a different song now!!! He so deeply took in all that you said and is, at this moment, out shopping. Already, we feel a shift in energy and absolute delight in possibility. We both feel deeply enriched by your presence and input and feel so enthusiastic about bringing another level of consciousness into our lives. We will see you again and so happy to have you in our circle of healing. and intention into our lives and environment. - Dr. Celedra Gildea, PhD LMFT (Ca), LPT,

A BIG THANK YOU for your spot on advice!! We have made many of the changes you suggested, including re-arranging the bedroom and living room furniture, putting the mirror over the fireplace, etc. In each instance, the result LOOKED so much better! I now love the bedroom and cannot believe how different the room looks! Its beautiful now! I was inspired by your suggestions and have moved around many other items as well. Each change resulted in a prettier look! Thank-you Cheryl! - Darcy, Advertising Executive, Portland, Oregon

After working with Cheryl, a transformation occurred with color. The previous neutral colored walls now had vibrant color and I instinctively knew that the colors that Cheryl has selected for my home would tie together and flow throughout the house. Everything my girls and I experienced after we painted was magic. There was instant flow and an uplift in the energy in the house. That new energy in our home has translated to abundance in every aspect of our lives -- from work to our friends and family who visit our home and LOVE it to improved relationships and new life adventures! I'm so grateful to Cheryl for helping me in the transformation my home + my life. - Miabella, Toronto, Canada
