Relaxation Room

The day we moved into our new office space, I walked into my new 'exam' room... and there it was on the floor ...a dime. I knew Jake was telling me I am on the right path. This is a very special exam room and very different from all other exam rooms so some people think I am a little off center. This is a space I envisioned while construction was underway and I expressed my vision to Ahmet and Ken. 'I envision my exam room to be like the feeling you get when you walk into a spa...you know, that 'ahhhhhh' feeling'. I said to them. I told them my reasoning and they supported my vision. My exam room is now called the 'relaxation room' and now is a reality! So, when patients come to me for an office visit they are ushered into a room that has incandescent lights on a dimmer (no fluorescent lighting), harp music is softly playing, a smell of fresh linen permeates the room, a small water fountain with tricking water and a flame less candle enhances the sensual experience.You are seated in a beautiful and very comfortable chaise lounge that reclines and comfortable throw pillows envelope you (instead of a metal exam table). The patients gets to relax for 2-3 minutes while I review the chart outside and as I center myself with deep breathing and set my intention for a healing experience I enter the room and with all my presence greet the patient. What's so weird about that? ;) Jake would have loved it...he always hated getting up on that metal exam table!
