Evana Maggiore is a Professional Image Consultant and Feng Shui Practitioner. The former owner of three Massachusetts-based Evana Clothing Shops, she became a certified Color and Image Analyst in 1982. After closing her stores in 1989, she converted her retail business to private wardrobe and fashion services. In 1996, Evana expanded her consulting business to include Feng Shui. One of the first graduates of, and a Mentor for, feng shui expert and author Terah Kathryn Collins' Western School of Feng Shui in San Diego, CA, Evana innovatively combined both her areas of expertise to create the concept of Fashion Feng Shui. 

Her 1998 book, “Dressing the Whole Person, Nine Ways to Create Harmony & Balance in Your Wardrobe & Prosperity in Your Life!” is the first publication to connect the Five Elements of Feng Shui to Fashion and Personal Style.

In 1999, teaming with friend and business associate Louise Elerding, she established the world's first Fashion Feng Shui® Facilitator Professional Training Program. This holistic approach to personal development has been embraced by the international Image Industry, which presented Evana with their prestigious “IMMIE Award” (Image Makers' Merit of Industry Excellence) in the category of Innovation as well as the Feng Shui community, who offered Fashion Feng Shui® as a course of study at their most recent International Feng Shui Conference.

Besides counseling personal and corporate clients how to "dress their whole person" with Fashion Feng Shui®, Evana also offers residential and business Feng Shui Evaluations through her Boston-area firm, Essential Environments. Specializing in "image-conscious" people and businesses, Evana's clients include the real estate, fashion, retail and wellness industries.

In 2002, Evana became a certified trainer for Creative Wellness, a holistic stress management/wellness program. Based on 25 years of mind-body connection research, Creative Wellness classifies individuals according to endocrine personality type and recommends lifestyle choices (nutrition & exercise), behavior modification (affirmations & meditation) and natural supports (color, gemstone and aroma therapies) to prevent and alleviate stress, the #1 cause of dis-ease. 

Evana, a Certified Image Professional (CIP), is a Charter Member and past international Vice-President of Member Communications of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) as well as a member of The Fashion Group International and International Feng Shui Guild. She sits on the Advisory Board of The Marino Centers for Progressive Health, a pioneer of integrative medicine in the Boston area. 

In 2001 Evana established the Love Yourself Project (LY!P) at Rosie's Place, a Boston based shelter, and resource center for homeless and poor women. Designed to introduce holistic therapies to the underprivileged, the LY!P sponsors educational and experiential activities that pamper the mind, body and spirit.

An intuitive practitioner, entertaining speaker, inspiring teacher, and community leader, Evana consults and presents internationally.
