Marsha (Mo) Linquist, FSIA, allied ASID

As a young girl in Canton, OH, Marsha had a special way with space and fabrics. She designed clothing and room décor and it was natural for her to major in fashion merchandising in college.

When her four children were small, Marsha designed children’s accessories and developed a business called Mommy & Me Collection. As her family grew she channeled her career working for Ethan Allen Furniture, Stock’s Custom Draperies, and The Closet Factory helping people organize and decorate their living environments.

Being on the leading edge, Marsha has incorporated Pyramid Feng Shui in her private consulting business. As good design principles are visually appealing, Feng Shui appeals to the heart and soul. Known as “The House Whisperer,” in northern OH, she defines herself as an “environmental language interpreter.” Linquist notes that, Feng Shui consultations are more science that magic, analyzing how people feel in an environment, then deciding what to do and why.” Linquist helps people learn why some places feel good and seem to nurture, while other places make them uncomfortable.

Marsha has studied under the tutelage of Master Nancilee Wydra, founder of the Feng Shui Institute of America. FSIA promotes Pyramid School which incorporates biology, psychology, cultural anthropology, physiology and brings Feng Shui into a contemporary paradigm that is sensitive to today’s cultural diversity.

 Marsha has been recognized by the Feng Shui Institute of America (FSIA) as a Certified Feng Shui Professional. FSIA has established a comprehensive program to bring standards of excellence to professionals in the person/place business. She currently also holds a position on the faculty of the Institute. This professional training is accredited by the American Society of Interior Designers for continuing education credits, as more design professionals begin to recognize the value of Feng Shui in home design and décor. As a faculty member of the Feng Shui Institute, Linquist has raised the awareness and understanding of Feng Shui through speaking engagements and training sessions throughout Ohio. She is also a founding board member of the sister organization FSII and holds allied membership in ASID.

Last summer she and her husband Randy realized his life long dream of living at the beach. A true designer, Marsha is currently “redesigning” her business on Pleasure Island off the coast of Wilmington, NC where few have heard of feng shui. Always the pioneer, she continues to raise awareness wherever she goes. The mission of her work is “Making Life Better.
