Holistic Kids
We bring together a diverse range of modalities across the five pillars of wellbeing: cognitive, physical, emotional, social and spiritual, helping families discover options they may not have known existed and make more informed choices for their children.
At the same time, we support holistic practitioners and aligned businesses to increase their visibility, connect with families and grow thriving, sustainable practices.
Our vision is simple: to create a trusted ecosystem where families can explore their options and holistic businesses can be discovered.
Because when businesses shine, our children thrive.

Distinguished and Famous people from Elliston District
🌟 Leo Cummings
Leo Cummings is remembered along the Elliston district coast through the monument and lookout bearing his name. From a Sheringa district family, he drowned in 1959 when the crayfishing boat Wangaree was wrecked on rocks near Kiana. The memorial places a human story within a coastline often admired for its dramatic scenery. The lookout and memorial preserve a local fishing family’s loss as part of the district’s public history.
🎨 Ivor Francis
Ivor Francis began an Australian teaching career with a trial appointment at Elliston after arriving from England in 1924 and working on Eyre Peninsula farms. Further training and country-school posts led to Adelaide teaching, broadcasting and an influential artistic career. He became a painter and critic who championed contemporary art when it could provoke fierce argument. Surrealism entered his paintings, while exhibitions and writing brought new ideas before South Australian audiences. Elliston’s connection is a specific early teaching opportunity, when a recently arrived young migrant was beginning the working life that would later support his art.
