office design as part of the decor can also serve the client's needs when getting dressed. In a larger room, curtains or a folding screen will add a sense of privacy to the changing area. While arranging the treatment room, survey your progress from the client's viewpoint by lying down on the table yourself and looking around. In this position, you can check the angle of lighting, the condition of the ceiling, and the ambiance you are creating to make sure it will be pleasant and restful for your client. clutter free Keeping the treatment room simple and uncluttered makes maintenance and cleaning easier. You'll need cabinets or shelves to store equipment such as linens and body supports. A small attractive table can be used for easy access to lubricants and tissues. This is another place where you can use your imagination—scour yard sales and thrift shops for interesting cabinets or tables that will add a personal touch to the room. Soft music can be used to cover distracting noises from outside of the room, as well as provide a relaxing atmosphere for your client. A portable MP3 player suffices for the small, enclosed space of a treatment room. Provide a collection of music with a variety of styles so you can change the mood to suit clients, even offering them the opportunity to choose what they prefer. In the end, your office is a reflection of the healing energy you provide. Don't skimp on making it everything you want it to be. SPH Feng Shui And The Practitioner Color. With respect to proper feng shui techniques, coordinating color is an important process when either designing your office or workspace. Your work is most closely related to work done in hospitals and clinics, and therefore, is wood-based in nature. Green is the color of wood, thus it is the primary color choice. A complementary color is black because it is representative of water, the replenishing source for wood. Front door. In feng shui, the front door to a business is critical. It is recommended the door be larger than considered normal for a residence. Another suggestion is the foyer, or entrance area of the business, be pleasing to the eye. This can be achieved by placing either plants or lions on both sides of the door. Both of these items are considered good luck. Lions also are considered emblems of strength and security. Treatment room. For the feng shui-appropriate treatment room, it is essential to be able to see all entrance ways, or doors, at all times. Therefore, set up your table accordingly. The best possible placement is at an angle away from the door, rather than in line with it. If you must be in line with the door, it is important to block the flow of incoming energy by using either chimes or an energy stone.
