Cathleen McCandless, Best of San Diego
Feng Shui Expert
She was a scientist before she became involved in the study of the environment and how it affects you. Today, feng shui expert Cathleen McCandless (858-454-7933; sandiegofengshui.com) works as a consultant for clients who include Intel, Nike and Loews Coronado Bay Resort. Her quick feng shui tip? Watch your back. Our survival instincts are active in every room, which is why we want a booth rather than a table when we go to restaurants: Our backs feel protected. You get that same sense of well-being when furniture is arranged so backs don't face the door.
