Born and raised in Stanford, California, Teagan moved to Costa Rica in 2010, where she has enjoyed the peaceful lifestyle that complements her integrative practices in Yoga, Feng Shui, Reiki Energy Healing, Therapeutic Bodywork, and Peak States Trauma Therapy. Each has been a unique blessing in Teagan’s life, and she is compelled to share the joy of these gifts that encourage self-empowered healing for the individual and for the community. With this focus her vision to create a community health and healing space took root in Playas del Coco, and she is so excited about how it has taken shape and all that we will share in the coming years.
It has been an amazing experience to implement Feng Shui philosophy in designing and building start to finish, from the first foundations of choosing the place and connecting with the land, all the way through the small final details of optimally orienting the electric outlet plates. Some of the Feng Shui principles applied in this project include:
- choosing auspicious home orientation and supportive paint colors;
- directing chi flows (placement of doors, stairs, windows, walkways, lines);
- natural and uplifting proportions (house levels, drawers, cabinets);
- balancing elements (statues, color-choice);
- optimizing health (floor plan layout, bed placement, window allocation, plumbing and electrical decisions);
- enhancing abundance (door placement, applying mirrors, room mapping, auspicious numbers);
- minimizing clutter (maximizing closed storage space, creating clear site lines); and
- ritual (land clearing, groundbreaking ceremony, creating crystal grids).
Teagan completed Feng Shui Master Training with Amanda Collins in Gorey, Ireland in July, 2016. She has loved bringing Feng Shui into the home design process and is looking forward to supporting others with their design and build experience. Teagan is now offering Feng Shui consulting for new builds as well as established homes and commercial spaces, and she plans to begin leading workshops around specific facets of the philosophy.
