What is Stress?

Stress is your body's natural response to being under pressures or demands.

Workplace Stress is defined as stress that arises from or is worsened by work.

Work related stress is not a sign of weakness in an employee, it is a symptom of an organisational management problem, which must be addressed.

 

Workplace stress is something you do not have to suffer.

Treatments can be provided as a one-off, perhaps as a thank you for your staff's hard work, or on a regular basis. By having regular sessions I am able to provide the treatments at a discounted price. You can decide whether to pay for or subsidise the treatments or whether the staff pay individually for their own treatments
