German term

aufbauend

German to English Marketing Cosmetics, Beauty hair (Feng Shui)
Das meiste Chi kommt ueber die Tuer herein. Deshalb sollte der Eingang aufbauend, einladend und firmentypisch sein. Chi folgt dem energetischen Fussabdruck eines Menschen und kommt so mit jedem Eintretenden zur Tuer herein.


Any suggestions appreciated.

Danke.
