Dervilla Griffin is a Cork-based Feng Shui consultant in demand all over the world. She tells Sharon O’Reilly-Coates how her work can alleviate sickness and even money worries

Houses have personalities. That’s what Dervilla Griffin believes. Like a cuckoo popping out of a clock, she leaps into a room. But her apparent normality doesn’t fool me.
