Welcome to Office Oasis

Stressed at work? Aches and Pains?

We can help you feel better!

Office Oasis is an invaluable service for businesses, bringing relaxing, effective complementary therapy treatments to your workplace.

A friendly, effective, sensitive and professional therapist, Roushan Martens, will come to your workplace, and provide therapies that ease both stress and the muscular pain from which so many of us suffer.

We offer a range of effective treatments for the relief of stress and associated symptoms, at competitive prices. If staff at your workplace are stressed or suffering from aches and pains, Office Oasis can offer an effective means of reducing those problems, and improving the atmosphere of your office.

This service has been offered to staff at the Scottish Executive, Victoria Quay in Edinburgh since August 2005.

To the question: 'How beneficial is it to have this service available in your workplace?' 99% of service users gave an answer of 7/10 or higher, with 73% giving an answer of 9 or 10/10.

(The questionnaire is completed by staff on their first treatment, and of 166 staff given treatments to date, 121 have returned the questionnaire. Completed questionnaires are available to view on request)

Are you stressed?

For a quick check on whether you may be stressed, count up how many of the following apply to you at the moment:

sleep difficulties
loss of appetite
poor concentration or poor memory retention
performance dip
uncharacteristic errors or missed deadlines
anger or tantrums
violent or anti-social behaviour
emotional outbursts
alcohol or drug abuse
nervous habits

If one of the above applies, you could be stressed.

If two apply, you are probably stressed.

If three apply, you are almost certainly stressed

If four or more apply - you are definitely stressed

The above is a very simple check on your stress levels - if you have time, please go to our more comprehensive questionnaire.
