Meet Steph
Stephanie McConachy is the founder of Nine Lemons Feng Shui, where she helps founders, leaders and ambitious women recalibrate the environments their lives and businesses operate inside.
Before founding Nine Lemons Feng Shui, Steph spent 16 years in senior leadership roles across Asia Pacific, including leading the Clients & Markets division of a global consulting firm.
Today she brings that same strategic rigour to Classical Feng Shui, treating the home not as a decorative project, but as the operational infrastructure behind clarity, momentum and opportunity.
Her work blends ancient environmental wisdom with modern strategic thinking to help women create spaces that actively support the next level of their lives and businesses.
Steph has been featured on national television, podcasts and industry platforms, and is increasingly invited to speak on the relationship between environment, leadership and momentum.
My story
My journey into Feng Shui didn’t begin as a career plan.
It began with curiosity.
After moving into a new home many years ago, I struggled with sleep and kept sensing that something in the space felt “off.” While I had heard of Feng Shui before, I knew very little about it.
A 2am Google search led me to one simple insight: our bed was positioned under a window, allowing energy to sweep over us and out of the room. A small adjustment improved our sleep almost immediately.
That small discovery opened a much deeper curiosity.
The Singapore Years
My corporate career later took me to Singapore, where Feng Shui is deeply integrated into both business and everyday life.
While working on an office relocation to Marina One - widely regarded as a Feng Shui masterpiece - I saw firsthand how seriously these principles were taken.
Building selection. Floor layouts. Office design.
These decisions weren’t aesthetic.
They were strategic.
During this time I completed several Feng Shui trainings, expanding my understanding of how environments influence the people operating within them.
A Turning Point
After returning to Australia, my husband and I experienced the unimaginable loss of our firstborn child.
Grief changes the way you see everything - including the spaces you live in.
During that period I became deeply aware of how environments hold and influence energy. Practices like Acupuncture and Reiki played a role in my own healing, and I began noticing the subtle ways spaces can either support or weigh on the people living inside them.
When I later conducted a full Feng Shui analysis of our home, the shift in the environment was immediate. The space that had held so much heaviness began to feel lighter and more supportive of the life we were rebuilding.
That experience changed how I understood homes forever.
My Approach
My work draws on multiple schools of Classical Feng Shui, including advanced training under several Feng Shui masters and practitioners.
I specialise in Flying Stars Feng Shui, one of the most sophisticated methodologies within the discipline, which maps the energetic timing cycles influencing a property.
Alongside this, I apply Landscape and Form Feng Shui, analysing the physical environment surrounding a property and the way energy moves through the home itself.
Together, these systems allow a space to be assessed not just aesthetically, but structurally - identifying where an environment is supporting momentum and where it may be quietly creating resistance.
Combined with my background in corporate strategy and leadership, my work focuses on the practical intersection between environment, decision-making and opportunity flow.
Because the spaces we live and work in are not neutral.
They are active participants in the lives we are building.
My Mission
My mission is simple:
To help successful women understand the impact their environment has on their clarity, momentum and capacity - and to recalibrate their spaces so those environments actively support the life they’re building.
Because leadership doesn’t happen in isolation.
It happens inside a space.

p.s Why Nine Lemons?
In Feng Shui, lemons are powerful symbols of abundance and positive energy.
Their bright yellow colour and round shape represent prosperity and continuous renewal.
The number nine symbolises completion and power.
Together, these elements represent the philosophy behind Nine Lemons Feng Shui:
practical shifts that create powerful change.
