"Hi Michael, I would like to thank you for making our experience with Holistic Services a very relaxing one! From the ease of arranging our massage day to the completion. Everything went as scheduled. We thoroughly enjoyed our massages and were considerably less stressed when walking back into the room afterwards, with glowing smiles across our faces! Allan was prepared, on time and very professional throughout.  We will certainly be recommending and using the services of Holistic Services in the near future, thank you once again for a truly memorable experience.

"Holistic Services Group were engaged by CREATE Foundation to deliver a one-hour massage workshop at their staff conference CRAVE.
The workshop covered simple neck and shoulder stress-relief massage techniques and tips for self-massage. The facilitator explained and demonstrated the techniques clearly and then provided feedback and guidance to staff as they practiced, all in a cheerful and good-humoured manner. Feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive, with the only complaint being that the workshop wasn't long enough.
All dealings with Holistic Services group prior to and during the workshop were easy, and the workshop covered exactly what had been negotiated. I would recommend their services to any other organisation or business without hesitation." Daryn Elston-Smith, Regional Manager - CREATE Foundation, Sydney

“I attended the Lunch time session today and found the presenter really informative. The session was very interesting and it was very worthwhile I do hope these sessions continue.”
“A good session, well presented" ""...was great that she supported her discussion with bringing in samples of recommended supplements, books, etc. Always good to be reminded about what we should be doing and receiving encouragement to do so.”
“I thought this initiative was a great idea. ...absolutely a full bottle of knowledge and a tremendous help for me. I certainly learnt a few things to help me live a little better.” Workshop Participants from Synergy Energy, Perth

"I found HSG to be excellent. They were efficient, professional and the sessions their experts delivered were lively, informative and perfectly matched to the target audience. The follow up post event was also impressive - not content with just delivering the sessions, Michael and his team followed through which is so often not the case. Staff loved the workshops and are still talking about them, which is great for me!"

"Thank you Holistic Services for your professional, yet flexible approach to our activities during Safe Work Australia Week.

Some of the class were novices and some regular Yoga participants, but all were able to practice the movements with consistency and ease. The meditation at the end was the piece de resistance!"
Pamela South, OH&S Committee - Campbell Arnott's Asia Pacific, Sydney

"Holistic Services helped us to create and manage a team building event that was a great success for a diverse team of males and females with varying levels of fitness, mobility and seniority.

Their facilitators communicated both office health and general life improvements and were flexible enough to cater for a range of tastes and preferences".

"In June 2007 Holistic Services Group were engaged to stage a number of winter health expos at all 9 ASIC sites across Australia. The expos were ultimately very well received by ASIC employees (average attendance was around 32%) and provided them with information on influenza, nutrition & healthy eating, naturopathy and cooking demonstrations. Show bags, fruit and bottled water was also provided.
ASIC has run these types of health fairs many times in the past but this was by far the best attended. Congratulations go to Michael and his team for providing a professional (and highly beneficial) service. I can highly recommend HSG to any employer who values their staff."

"In 2008, Lifeline Australia embarked on our first-ever National Fundraising Campaign, Stress Down on 24/7. On 24 July, workplaces were encouraged to engage in activities to reduce stress in return for a financial donation to Lifeline. In the lead-up to the day, Lifeline Australia engaged Holistic Services to provide therapeutic massages at a number of key promotional events, including Australian Human Resources Conference (Melbourne Exhibition Centre), National Media Launch (NRL Headquarters Sydney), Stress Down Merchandise Booths (ANZ Stadium, Sydney). Michael, Monique and all of their staff provided a very professional service which was gratefully received by everyone who participated." We look forward to working with them into the future - Brendan Maher National Manager, Community Fundraising - Lifeline Australia

"Hi Michael, Thanks so much for helping me organise this day for my team. I love that I can get so many ideas from one website and with your help, I had an activity locked away a few emails later.  I also appreciated the fact that the activities are available in Brisbane and not just Sydney.  The activity ensured that team members who don’t work together on a daily basis, mingled and used their combined efforts to complete the tasks.  However, the best example of a combined effort was enjoying the fruits of our labour at the end! Everybody had a great time and the chefs were lots of fun to work with as well!" - Suncorp

"We recently participated in a team tapas event facilitated by Claudia.  It was very successful in bringing a new team together.  Interacting in an activity which was unusual and somewhat out of some peoples comfort zones was a great icebreaker and a way for people to show the team a little about themselves.  It was amazing to see how the team let loose and created their own musical extravaganza.  Team Tapas was a great way to spend an afternoon."
Sharon O’keefe, Manager Business Sales & Service Integrity - Westpac

"Living Now was pleased to employ Michael and David of Holistic Services Group to co-ordinate the healing section and stage performances at our expo in August 2004 at Randwick Racecourse, Sydney. They were totally organised and efficient in their work- they achieved a lot with just a few resources. They were self-starters, creative in their problem-solving and they had a large number of people to co-ordinate in a short time. I’d be pleased to recommend these guys to anyone who had a logistics and/or event management need. Not only will they perform with skill and alacrity, their manner is a delight."
