Feng Shui Secrets for a Serene Medical Practice
Medical practices play an important role in the health and well-being of patients. Be it a clinic, general practitioner, or a specialty, the design and layout of these spaces can greatly impact the overall experience of patients and staff. Feng Shui principles can create a harmonious environment for a medical office. Imagine reducing patient anxiety in your medical practice!
My Start in Healthcare
At age 19, I actually worked as a dental hygienist as I studied to become a dentist. My boss decided to remodel his office, and as I watched the designers and contractors lay things out, I felt… something was off. It just didn’t feel right. You see, my mom and grandmother were Feng Shui masters and, evidently, something rubbed off on me.
The designers had planned for the doctor’s office to be right by the entrance to the lobby. This was a busy location where he would overhear everything happening in the waiting room and front office while he tried to take his breaks.
The next day, I convinced my boss to change the layout by placing his private office in the “power position” at the back of the space, away from the hustle and bustle. Low and behold, I helped Feng Shui the entire practice, and it worked!
The office saw a steady flow of happy patients, insurance claims were paid on time, and everything just seemed to click. More importantly, my boss finally started to feel at ease and began to enjoy his work more. That was the moment I began seeing spaces in a completely new light. Soon enough, my boss’s friends called me for advice about their offices and homes.
Eventually, I put my former career on hold to see where this Feng Shui path could take me. Decades later, here I am, a Feng Shui master. I now work with Fortune 500 clients like MGM Resorts, Lennar, Toll Brothers, KB Home, etc. on residential and commercial projects. I have also been named the Best Feng Shui Consultant.
Front Entrance
One of the key principles of Feng Shui is the placement of the main entrance. The main entrance should be located in a prominent and visible location, making it easy for patients to find and enter the medical practice. The entrance should also be well-lit and have a clean and inviting appearance. This creates a positive first impression and sets the tone for the rest of the visit.
Color Choices
Another important aspect of Feng Shui for medical offices is the use of colors. Different colors have different meanings and can evoke different emotions. For example, blue is a tranquil and calming color, which is important so patients don’t feel stressed or anxious. On the other hand, yellow is a warm and cheerful color, which creates a positive and welcoming atmosphere.
Practice Flow
In addition to colors, medical practices should also pay attention to the placement of equipment and machines. According to Feng Shui, you should arrange them in a way that is easy for patients and staff to navigate and use. To achieve this, create clear paths and visual cues that lead patients and staff to different areas of the office.
Private Office Locations
Be sure to keep private staff offices of doctors away from the entry or other high-traffic areas. Doctors need time away from the patients and phone calls to recharge. As I mentioned with my old boss, you’ll want to put the private office of the primary practice owner in the power position at the back of the practice, preferably in the back-left Prosperity Corner.
Next Steps
Feng Shui is a powerful tool that helps create a positive and relaxing experience for healthcare patients. By applying Feng Shui principles, medical practices can promote a sense of well-being for patients and staff. This can lead to a positive impact on patients’ health and reduce anxiety. This leads to returning patients and higher profits for the doctors and their business.
