News From Zen At Work

Apology

• Sorry – we were so busy during the winter season that we missed sending out the winter update for our practitioners!

• We have been promoting our massage service at the seminars and expos that we have been doing by having competitions to win a voucher for a 2 hour massage. There have been winners in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney so far.
• Most of the bookings continue to be one-off events, but we will be looking at ways of promoting more permanent spots in corporate sites for our masseurs. Watch this space!

• PILATES: Pilates continues to be the most popular class format at the moment.
• WU TAO: We have had interest in trialling Wu Tao, but have not been able to find a convenient, cost effective venue for the client yet.
• FITNESS TRAINING: Welcome to some of the new fitness instructors that joined us recently to do a series of one-off classes for a client in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. We will be adding the services of fitness instructors to our website shortly, and look at promoting longer series of classes in this area.
• LAUGHTER: Welcome also to our new laughter therapist in Sydney - Margaret. We believe that laughter has a big role to play in stress management, and we will be launching a PR programme to support and push this area of the business shortly. We will be looking for more laughter coaches in other cities soon too, so pass this email on to anyone who may be interested.

• The seminars have been going well recently, with events held all over the country and even overseas.
• A big thank you goes to Rachael Sporn (Olympic Basketball Player), who has been doing some motivational seminars for one of our clients, as part of their nationwide stress reduction programme.

• We have had some great PR recently, being quoted and printed in The Australian, and HR Monthly.
• At the moment we are also working on a telephone survey amongst clients regarding stress levels, which we will use as a press release in the future.
• We tested holding a stall at a recent Project Managers conference down in Melbourne, but the team found it hard to get delegates attention, and so we will be revising this format before we launch it again at other events.

• If you are a registered practitioner, you have been given access to the Members Area of our website. In there you will find behind the scenes stuff that will help you work better with us on jobs.
