THE HOLISTIC SERVICES GROUP
HEALTH
But that jungle was not what Stone was expecting and in turn he found himself dissatisfied with his job . Shortly after , one moment changed the course of history , and with it , Stone ’ s life .
“ I was just one block away at the time [ of 9 / 11 ] and that was the wake-up call that I really needed to do something that I felt had meaning ,” said Stone . “ I started to study part-time and take different courses in natural therapies and I finally got the courage to quit my job as a trader and dove into the world of wellness .”
Upon concluding his studies ,
Stone returned to Sydney and began to implement his knowledge into wellness programs that became corporate yoga and corporate relaxation sessions .
“ Back then I would have never called it ‘ meditation ’ because it was sort of taboo or a strange thing ,” added Stone . “ Of course , nowadays , mindfulness is all the rage .”
Fast forward to today where Holistic Services Group is recognized as a leading provider of well-being to employers and employees and is expected to continue to see paramount growth as the industry expands .
