Chill out, don't burn out

Help raise creativity and productivity by offering your managers, staff and clients some time out with a range of holistic therapies.

Es-senses can offer your company a unique selling point - the chance to book a tailor-made package with a therapist working on site. Many big corporations have found this to be a valuable and cost effective facility to offer.

The UK has some of the longest working hours in Europe. Sitting in an office all day - coping with a pressurised, stressful job your body is taking all the strain. It might show as tension in the back or shoulders, a stiff neck, unexplained aches and pains, repressed emotions. You may have skipped lunches, not been able to sleep at night. These are just some of the physical manifestations of stress. The emotional and psychological impact is also very real and can be demoralising.

As stress rises, productivity falls, creativity diminishes and business suffers. The statistics bear this out. In Britain, stress related illnesses are at record levels and cost the UK billions of pounds annually.

Time magazine called stress the No 1 health problem in America. It's now being linked to illnesses ranging from the common cold to cancer.

But stress can be managed. Scheduling just small amounts of regular time out and learning to relax, the body and mind will let go of built up tensions and you'll feel re-energised and rejuvenated opening up the possibility for greater creativity and productivity.

Es-senses provide a personalised and increasingly popular service to companies.

Holistic therapies offered include:

Reflexology - concentrates on the feet and reflex points inducing deep relaxation and revitalising energy.

Indian Head Massage - concentrates on the head, neck and shoulders where a third of the body's tension usually accumulates.

Back Massage - helps release tension and stimulates energy flow.

Daoyin Tao ® - concentrates on the face, neck and shoulders, working points to release trapped energy and emotions.

Companies can book this service on a weekly/monthly/quarterly basis or as a one off or occasional service.

Sessions are usually 30 minutes but can be as short as 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.

What do our clients say?

Sumners, an existing es-senses client, based in the heart of Manchester, are one of the largest television facilities in the UK. The facility is working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to tight deadlines.

Staff and clients within the facility often work long hours to demanding schedules. In view of this, Managing Director Andy Sumner looked at ways to make the working environment more comfortable and to give added value to clients.

"We decided to add a range of holistic therapies to the services on offer. Clients and staff work extremely hard. By offering this service, it gives people time out to relax and it can actually increase productivity. Clients often say that they feel both refreshed and calmer after a session with Fiona." www.sumners.co.uk
