I stumbled across holistree at a very confused phase in life. I had just given my board exams, covid had struck and my NEET exam had got postponed. In the middle of all that confusion, I was confused about yet another thing, something I kept avoiding. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in life. I knew I wanted to do something in the healthcare sector, but I failed to realize that the medical field is such a vast space and there were SO MANY options to choose from. This was a very important and delicate decision and I didn’t want to make this decision in a rush, so I decided to seek help. Lucky for me, just when I was thinking about getting career counselling, my dear friend Swadha Mehta posted something about holistree on her story and that’s how it started. I texted her to get info about this group, and within 2 days I attended an introductory seminar. That’s where I met Dhaval Shah. The way he spoke about his work felt capturing and promising and that made me become a part of holistree. I was appointed two mentors, Sarbjit and Shivani, and Dhaval was always there too.
They helped me throughout my whole decision making process. They helped me make an informed decision, based on various factors, not just academics. Their process was much different than what you may call traditional career counselling groups. They did not just evaluate my academic performance, they evaluated all parts of my life, and provided me with a list of 3-4 career options that they thought I would excel in and enjoy. I finally had a clear picture of what I wanted to do, where I want to be in life, and what I had to do in order to reach that place in life.
Not only that, Holistree also helped me every step of the way. They helped me get through my NEET exam, helped me get over problems that I couldn’t have on my own. They also hosted a “Decision making” seminar, and that was so informative and it helped me deal with issues I didn’t even know I had. They host a lot more seminars like this. I recently also did an internship with holistree and it was one hell of an experience! So many things learnt, so many friends made. Lastly, I would just like to say that holistree is not only a career designing group, it’s a group of friends that help you get through all the tough times in your life! 10/10 recommend holistree to any confused soul, who wants to get through life, and make the most of it.

“So first I was very skeptical to meet a career counsellor but still went on with it anyway and I’m glad I did that. Dhaval is an amazing mentor and guide, I honestly feel I have grown so much as an individual because of all the personal sessions I had with Dhaval and Rhea. I got to know so many things about my personality which I had always overlooked which definitely helped me to understand which direction I should walk into in terms of my career. Holistree is definitely a great platform to discover yourself in a new light and work towards your goals.”

“I was at my aunt’s place for my vacation in Mumbai and because i had completed my graduation everybody started asking me about what am i going to do next?
I never had an answer to this question of theirs. so, I would either ignore it or just say that I’ll think about it later. My uncle asked me the same question and I told him that I was confused about everything. He then suggested that i should give it a try for the career discovering program at holistree.
At first, I thought this would be same as those boring counselling sessions which i had attended before. To my surprise this was way different and interesting. Dhaval explained me about how these sessions will proceed and help me in my future career decisions. I was assigned to Sarbjit and she took over my sessions. At first she made sure that i was comfortable and she created a trusting environment. She listened to me effectively and tried to understand things from my point of view. All the focus was only on the things that were important to me. I would tell her things and she would listen to them without judging me. She always showed warmth towards me. She followed my lead during our sessions whenever it was appropriate. All these sessions helped me with whatever originally led me to join this. I was never asked to change my point of view or choices, instead they gave me career options that define me and are suitable for a person like me. The changes that have occurred in me have been positive and welcoming. All my confusion was clear. I now have an answer to the questions people ask me. I never thought I would be so clear about my career choices. All thanks to Dhaval, Sarbjit and the entire team of holistree. I had an amazing time with you guys.! Thank you so much for everything, you have been great.”

“I was completely lost before I went to Holistree, but as and when the sessions were conducted I got to know myself better. I learnt what my strengths and weaknesses are. They have a very different approach than the other career counsellors which makes them stand out. My counsellor Fakhera has been very supportive and so has Dhaval Sir, throughout my journey. They have been very patient and took enough time to know me and taught me to keep an open mind and that helped me to choose the perfect career for myself. I was very hesitant about choosing an out of the box career but they made me understand how in the long run it will be the best decision I’ve made. I’m grateful to Holistree for such a wonderful experience!!”

“Enrolling with holistree has been a fantastic experience for me as Dhaval and Rhea have helped me realize things about myself which I possibly couldn’t have thought of. It has allowed me to go deeper into who I am as a person and which career would be suitable for my exact personality type and why. I would sincerely like to thank Dhaval and Rhea for all their hard work which helped me clear out a lot of doubts and misconceptions about myself :)”

“Holistree is just the right place to go when you are in an immense confusion regarding your career choices. I chose holistree because their approach was way different from the other counseling centers it was much more than just aptitude and personality tests they get into a process of knowing the real you which helps you to get a reality check of your own. The counselors at holistree are prospective and aware they strive to get you a clarity by understanding your state of mind your well being your interests and many more. Apart from being good listeners they also maintain patience, empathy and emotional intelligence with the candidates. They help you in personality building also while you are getting the clarity you need in your life. To sum it up I think holistree was the best decision I have taken so far.”

“The whole journey of holistree was just amazing it really made me find out wt I am good at made me understand how my nature actually works how to deal with people how to handle myself at tough situations and most importantly dhaval u ,who always supported me no matter always tried to understand me better I really feel blessed to have a counsellor like u who had always been there at my tough times and is still I hope that this journey never ends and I really enjoyed.”

“First when I found out about Holistree I was not sure if it would be worth investing my time in it & whether results would be accurate or not. Even after starting the sessions I was contemplating but gradually I realized that I have made the correct decision. The sessions were exactly as they had mentioned in the introduction & their method is unique & they’re very good at what they’re doing.
The way they go about collecting information about you is really amazing. It’s a very friendly way and you don’t feel any burden sharing things about yourself at all. Even though I don’t share much about myself I was able share my personal thoughts and experiences comfortably. It could seem intimidating at one point but they were really good and did a thorough analysis of my personality. I realized a lot of things about myself through the sessions which I didn’t really know were there and was able to gradually work on improving them. Overall it was a great experience and a real eye opener and the whole team was really supportive.”

“I had an incredible time with holistree.I never thought someone could help me in this way as holistree has helped me to figure out what I actually want. Before going to Holistree I was a totally confused person I didn’t know what I actually wanted to do in my career aspect of point. Holistree and their counsellors helped me to figure out myself in a different way which I never imagined about myself I was shocked because I thought I was a different person in my mind. I never felt I was talking to an counsellor I always felt I am sharing things to a friend because they made me so comfortable around them. It really helped me and cleared my mind.
Thanks to Holistree and also Sarabjeet & Dhaval “

“My journey with Holistree has been eye-opening. In the beginning, I thought the councillors were only going to get to know me through some tests and talk sessions but they not only did that but also made me understand the kind of person I am and helped me realise the ways that could allow me full-fill my potential and make the best out of the career I choose. They push you to be the best you can be by making you realise things that you didn’t quite know about yourself. This journey has been a really wonderful one which I’d never forget.”

“I was unsure about what I wanted to do before consulting with Holistree. Both in my career and in my overall life. After a month or so of question and answers between me and Sarbjit, I went for the final ‘result’ day.
That day was one of the most eye-opening day for me. I understood so much about myself, not just for the sake of my career, but also about my personality and psychology. Dhaval gave me so much helpful information. Everything was put into perspective. They suggested me a couple courses which seem to perfectly fit me. I also got to know what I need to work on to improve myself. I would definitely recommend Holistree for anyone confused about themselves and their career!”

“I came from an engineering background and was not sure how to go about my career ahead. I started my sessions with a basic expectation of getting a clear idea about my further career decisions. But to my surprise, Holistree was much more than just career counselling. The sessions were very interactive and had unique and fun questionnaire through which they understand who you truely are as a person. As I went ahead with my sessions I developed a broader perspective and got to know about different things which I was unaware about myself. Talking to Dhaval was a different experience all together. I spoke to him about everything that I had never shared with anyone ever before. It felt therapeutic. I feel so glad that I had this experience . Better late than never ♥️”

“Choosing the right career is the most important and at times the most difficult decision in our life. One cannot simply waltz into anything. I couldn’t trust anybody but Holistree with this decision. Their unique approach is what I loved the most and made me want to go ahead with it. The first thing that comes to my mind when i think of career counseling is aptitude test, however here at holistree there are interactive sessions and questionnaires that make you think and changes your perspective. It gave me clarity and helped me transform into a better version of myself. . I wouldn’t have switched to another career so confidently if it weren’t for holistree. I can most certainly say that I made the right decision.”

“This is Bhavana khemka ,My journey with Holistree has been an eye-opening. They tell you everything about yourself, I wouldn’t have known myself better if didn’t come here. They have one to one sessions and they ask you different types of questions to know you better. And the questions are very interesting and we see can ourselves in a different way, and during the end session you get to see a mirror of yourself, and this is something really really different. I have never seen a career counselling like this before. If you’re really confused you should visit here, learn more about yourself.They help you with everything, you can feel free to share any difficulties happening in your life, they will have an ultimate solution for it. They have a very different opinion about choosing a right career, also a different perspective to life. This is a turning point of my life. I’m glad that I had an wonderful journey with Holistree. I would like to thank the entire team for an amazing experience, especially Dhaval, Rhea and Shifa for your proper guidance and support.”

“My experience with holistree was pretty amazing. I just randomly found their number off the net and called up Priya. She asked me to come up for the session, where I met Dhawal. I think the fact that I could actually relate to what Dhawal said, because it was happening with me wad the reason I decided to go with Holistree’s novel approach instead of any other counselling group. This is why I think Holistree should incorporate more such plans for people in their mid 20’s as they are much more confused than they think they are. Their approach was really informative and helpful. The sessions with Dhawal and Rhea were really informative. They made me feel as if it wasn’t an evaluation but just another normal day. I wasn’t burdened with unnecessary tests, but was just asked questions about my personal and professional life, ambitions, likes, dislikes etc. At the end of 6 sessions Dhawal came up with 3 really good career options for me keeping in mind not just my nature and traits, but also what I wish to experience in life. It was a really valuable experience indeed that taught me a lot about myself.”

“My general perspective of Career Counselling was that they help you decide a profession or ‘job’ and through certain aptitude and on paper tests and that’s it.

Ever since I started visiting Holistree, it has been an eye opener because not only did it help me to choose a career path, the major advantage was that I came to know so many things about my ownself which I didn’t before!
The methods are pretty comfortable and enjoyable as it isn’t about those conventional aptitude test. The environment is very likeable and pleasant. My Counsellor, Sarbjit Chadda, was amiable, intellectual, easy-going and was more like a companion. Summing it up, it was the most Non-judgmental Zone where I was able to express my self wholly.

I would strongly recommend Holistree to anyone who often gets lost wondering “what are my intrests and do I even have any special quality?” because more than career sorting, it helps to build self confidence and be informed about your own qualities and strength.

CHEERS, to the good times!”

“My experience with Holistree has been amazing. The approach here is very different than other career counsellors. The thing that makes Holistree unique and nice that they first know the students personally and then go ahead with the process and by doing that it makes the student feel more comfortable and confident, confident not only about the Counsellor’s judgement but also about his/her decisions. I personally have learnt a lot about myself and explored a lot of things about myself and my counsellor Sarbhjit helped me do that. When I joined Holistree i was really confused about my career and I didn’t know that in just a couple of months my confusion will be gone. I have also got a lot of change in myself, and i can see constant growth in myself.
Also all the weekly sessions which are held by Dhaval Sir are really really helpful, every week a very sensitive topic is discussed and everyone learns a lot from it.”

“My time with HolisTree has been wonderful so far! I am doing the Career Explore Program which includes research and planning.

I had thought it was going to be a lot of question answer stuff, and it was that way, but it was really fun! It wasn’t tedious or like an ‘interview’, it was more like a conversation and I felt very comfortable being honest and being myself in that space. Eventually after many sessions, with all the different things I was made to think about, I started to gain clarity about my own self in terms of what I am and what I want to become. Writing the research document also really really helped me with clarity, and even though I was overwhelmed at first when I started writing it, I ended up being even more sure of myself and what I wanted my career path to be. I’ve rarely seen such a clear picture of myself before as I did at the end of the data collection period, and I was able to learn my strengths and also exactly what I needed to work on to be better.

Overall I’ve been very happy with HolisTree, it’s such a supportive environment which not only encourages you to go after your dreams but shows and helps you with how to do it too!”

“I had never even thought of getting myself enrolled into a career counseling program as the thought of those usual online aptitude tests sounded impractical to me. I had only thought of pursuing my career in some science stream until then. I kept delaying such a crucial and dynamic decision of my life until the first introductory session of Holistree. I could easily connect to what Dhaval sir and Priya ma’am were sharing with us that day and how pragmatic and effective their approach towards career decision is. At first I was a bit anxious as to how the sessions are going to be but they turned out to be a complete stress buster. We spoke about each and every aspect of my life ( not just academic). The counselors are very friendly, cooperative and appreciative and it was very easy to connect with them as youngsters. The environment is very comfortable and non-judgmental and this made me talk freely with them. After each session I could see myself steadily becoming a better person and majorly, a more self aware human being. At the end of my career decision program, Dhaval sir gave me a complete insight into the various career lines in science, suitable for me. We finally decided my career choice as engineering and I am very happy with it. I now have a clear view ahead of me about my career and am ready to embark on this journey.
Their webinar series ” Art of Decision Making” helped me think deeply into such an often neglected topic as this. After this webinar, I have become more conscious about my decisions be it small or big.
Thank you so much Dhaval sir, Priya ma’am and the entire Holistree team!”

“My journey with Holistree is something I am unable to put words to.
I was a crazy guys who never though about future, always engrossed in gaming (like other kids of my age).. in 2015 my school arranged a session on career guidance, where I met Dhaval Sir.. he helped me discover many things about myself and I don’t know how I have a very good connect with him.. after all the sessions of understanding me.. we had 4 career options.. dhaval sir was sure as to what I should choose for my future and he told me back then, that I will end up choosing a certain field in the long run. I tried different things, due to other reasons and ended up doing what he said years ago.
I am glad to have him by my side all this while. It’s an amazing journey and I would love to be a part of it as long as it lasts…”

My experience with Holistree has been really good.I really appreciate the incomparable patients and support they have given me on various aspects.
The career designing process is really unique and helped me to find my way out in a very simple manner. The young generation today needs counselling to make a right choice as too many courses sounds chaotic to them for which
Holistree has helped me to make decisions in my life which has really helped me to grow as a person. It helped to improve my confidence while meeting new people . It gave me a clear Path to go in my life. I would like to express my gratitude to you for your efforts and support…

“Holistree’s approach towards a child’s career is totally one of a kind. Unlike judgement on the basis of written tests and interest, they look into each matter from current lifestyle to working style even after a student completes his or her education. The points and questions they mention definitely makes you think and you try to then see things in a little different way. I would definitely give holistree the credit in helping me out about my career and exposing me to all the opportunities out there. Thank you dhaval Bhaiya and Priya Didi :)”

“Joining holistree was the best decision I took to find out the right career for myself.
I feel really happy to be a part of it.
Holistree has helped me clear all my doubts and problems regarding what career should I pursue.
Many changes have occured in my behavior, attitude and thinking in the past few months. I’ve turned to be a stronger person than before.

Priya Di and Dhaval bhai are very helpful and whenever I’ve been there for my sessions it has always been good use of my time with them.
Its like a stress buster.
They are doing a great job.”

“Holistree is all together a very different approach to guide students with today’s times most burning core issue of selecting the career for life..
Not as other career guidence/counselling program, which are based on preset questionaries and writing tests and based on the result of the test.
Holistrees methodology is about dealing with the core issues of life, building self-esteem , confidence of the students. This results in giving a clear picture of ones ability.. to see beyond the boundaries one has created for oneself.. and choosing their career based on their qualities, abilities and realities of life.
As the name suggests, Its a wonderfull holistic approach.. which directly works at the root level and showing the right path to a successful carrear .
Dhaval shah.. I think you should approach the Education minister and inculcate your programs to all the schools. Holistree teaches the teens to face this world of competence and live a successful life of their choice.
As a parent we want our children to have all the values of life.. choose the right career which will make them successful.
“Holistree” is the solutions to all.
DHAVAL SHAH & PRIYA SHAH.. ALL THE BEST for bringing difference in many many lifes.”

“For my husband and me Dhaval came as a godsend. He was the missing link in our family. The changes are slow and steady in our son Aryan and daughter Sara. But the instant change was when Dhaval met Aryan before his 10th boards. The jump from 50% to 70% ; the inclination from Science to Commerce; just to name a few of the steady growth pattern in our Son.
We can do only as much as our love allows us to… we grew up in a different era today our children our bombarded with the media and it’s positives and negatives. The impact on our children’s lives is immense hence thank you Holistree for being a guiding light / open communicator and the connect when disconnect happens…”

“So it all started out with me being confused on which stream to choose. I searched on the net and tried to find a way but always ended up bumping into dead ends. I wanted to pursue music and thought that arts would be alright but I also had commerce as an option in my mind which made me extremely confused and disoriented. So I had to make up my mind quick. That’s the time my mom suggested that we needed to consult a counselor. And that’s when we met Holistree. Initially I thought that it would be boring because I thought that counselling meant more like studies in an enclosed atmosphere . But it was the exact opposite. The sessions were held at Starbucks which was really happening and did not feel enclosed at all. Moreover the topics covered in the sessions were not even close to studies. The first meeting with them was a delightful experience as everyone present at Holistree were just so kind and welcoming to me. The sessions were engaging and interactive and moreover the questions in every section were relatable for me. And the best thing is that they did not judge me for who I was which enabled me to share anything and everything with them. It went on for almost 2 months. In the last session they showed a really detailed character Sketch of me and I was really fascinated with how much they were able to understand me in such a short span of time. They suggested that I take arts as everything I wanted to do was related to arts. So I went with their decision as I could myself see how arts is beneficial for me. I finally had some clarity and knew where to go. Thank you Holistree!”

“I found this institute with the help of Google and the reviews on it. There were multiple career consultancies on the web but there was something about the reviews of Holistree which made me zero-in on them. And I am so glad that I followed my instincts. Mind you, they only have 19 reviews on Google while others have more than 100.

Dhaval, the counsellor and the brainchild of this organisation, is a sincere and thorough professional, but what makes him outstanding is his genuine intentions for helping a child find his/her path to glory. His approach towards analysing a child’s needs, interests, etc. is more humane than a psychometric test that the other organisations offer. He believes in communicating with a child than testing them with multiple choice questions. Dhaval and his team were extremely supportive during the entire counselling process and answered all my queries with strong explanations. They spoke to the child in detail and gave strong reasoning for their recommendation of stream to be selected post grade 10th for my niece.

I am more than satisfied with Holistree and would strongly recommend them to people looking for support for their child(ren). They provide short and long term support system. I started with the short-term (Discover) but will continue with them longer (Explorer). I wish Dhaval and his team all the very best. You are doing some great work. “

“My name is Nikita Gohil. I completed my MMS post which started working in the financial services industry. I initially believed that this is exactly what I wanted and I was pretty excited initially. However things gradually turned for the worse after about 3 years. The company that worked for wasn’t doing very well and things turned pretty bad, so much so that the company could no longer pay salaries. It was a fairly easy decision for me move on to a new job in the same sector of course and thanked my stars for landing me a job in time. I was pretty excited. I got a pretty decent jump in salary, good people to work with and to top it all a convenient location which meant my travel time was barely half an hour (I certainly consider this as a luxury in Mumbai). Fast Forward 8 months, and the level of discontent wth my job rose daily. I had to drag myself to work every single day. I believed this to be temporary phenomena for once. However, the discomfort only increased. After 1 year, I was done. I decided to resign from my company in order to pursue something else. I had learnt my lessons in the last 1 year and was determined to now pursue something I loved. However I was so absorbed in the following the herd for so many years that I never gave a thought to what do I exactly want to do or what was a I good at. I tried to give it some time. I couldn’t figure it out after having countless discussions with my husband and close friends on the same. I wanted an unbiased opinion from someone who would help me answer this difficult question – WHAT DID I EXACTLY WANT? I had heard of some career counselors but I did not want to take those mundane tests and let a machine decide what I am good at. After a long ado, one of my friends suggested that I should go see Dhaval. Once I met him, he explained to me how Holistree approached career counseling. I was impressed with the personal attention Dhaval was ready to give me. Dhaval took ample time to understand me first (something that a machine would never do). He did through analysis of my likes, dislikes, my upbringing, my family background etc just by having free flowing conversations with me. After about 40 hours of sessions Dhaval chalked out multiple career avenues that I could pursue. The buck dint stop there. Dhaval even helped me on finer details of pursuing each opportunity – where do start with, whom to get in touch, what is the kind of investment required (both time and money) and everything else that needed guided – Dhaval was extremely patient with me during this period. After almost 3 months, I had finally chosen what I wanted to pursue. Dhaval not only helped me with a different career in accordance to my likes and interest but also helped me in achieving it. It is a new start for me, but definitely a good one all thanks to Holistree.”

“I found out about HolisTree last year in June when I was applying for jobs after graduation but was still not confident if I want to work in the same field as what I studied for the rest of my life. Like every teenager, I too chose to study what I assumed myself to be very good at for my Bachelors, not realizing that there are a lot more options and career paths than just basic commerce degrees.

So I decided to seek some career advice before it gets too late and got in touch with Ms Priya Shah and Mr Dhaval Shah who elaborately explained that at HolisTree, they do their best to understand an individual’s personality, likes and wants, and also assured me that it is never too late to seek guidance and realize what we really want to do in our life.”

I have been attending career counselling sessions at Holistree for a few months now. Dhaval has personally counselled me and I would like to say that my experience so far has been amazing. I am currently working in the IT sector, and I dislike my job because it is monotonous. I sought help from Holistree to switch to a field of my liking. They helped in providing me with the right career. Dhaval also helped me address corporate life issues. I got to know about my various strengths and weaknesses. Holistree helped me find the right direction by helping me research the field which was appropriate for me. Today I am more direction oriented as compared to the past, and I have a plan for the long term now. Overall, my experience with Holistree has been really good and anybody facing doubts about their career paths, Holistree is the way to go.

“My best friend Introduced me to holistree & the decision to join Holistree was crucial & life changing decision. Recently I have moved to Australia, being a mumbai girl it was very difficult for me to adjust in this sparsely populated country. It is because of holistree Im able to regain myself & have positive approach with their constant support & sessions they guided me throughout my journey. Holistree have taught me how to view things/matters with different perspectives. They have helped me to understand my emotions, facing fears, atomic habits. It’s through holistree I was able to know myself even better & was able to understand my behaviour pattern. I’m not even half way through on my journey with holistree & I could feel a huge change, My perspective at looking things have changed. I have started making more conscious decisions.The exposure I got at Holistree have definitely changed my life.
I really appreciate their working pattern, they spend so much time to understand you. Through different sets of exercises they test your psychological behaviour. I really love the design of this entire program. Im glad I join holistree with dhaval sir & team there is so much to learn, each day I discover myself. Thank you dhaval & team thank you for all the support & insights.”

“After working as a teacher for four years and being a copywriter before that I wasn’t completely content with my life. So decided to quit my job and began the journey of finding what I love. Being confused as to what I should do I decided to seek professional help. I read a lot of reviews of various career counseling agencies one day I came across Holistree and found their approach different and interesting. First when I called them up I spoke to Dhaval also the Co- founder of the agency and was intrigued by their holistic approach. Also they believe that your career just doesn’t depend on your aptitude but also other factors like your values, personality,lifestyle, relationships. Most of the career counselors focus on the traditional aptitude test .
Before starting my sessions I have a little confused whether to take up their sessions because a little long procedure unlike the traditional aptitude tests. So my first meeting was with Priya also the Co- founder of Holistree who explained to me the different kinds of programmes they have like Career Discover and Career Explore. After my meeting with her I was convinced and decided to go ahead with the Career Explore programme as I hasn’t sure which career path to take. After each detailed session with Dhaval and Sarbajit I also got to know myself better and learnt to work on my strengths and weaknesses. Rightly said by Dhaval in our first session you won’t just know which career to take but also more. He was forced me to get back to my writing which I had stopped after college. Dhaval is not just a career counselor but also like a friend. Finally after 8 long sessions I received my career analysis and am excited to start my new chapter. Wishing Holistree all the best for their future endeavours!”

“I’m a working professional considering a major transition in my career. After a brief conversation with Priya, I decided to approach Holistree to help me navigate it.
The sessions I’ve had with Dhaval so far have tremendously helped me discover parts about my personality and nature that I may have known at the back of my mind but was never fully aware of. In addition to navigating my career transition, he’s helped me develop ways to combat my own limiting beliefs and become a better version of myself, where there is still a long way to go. He is very knowledgeable about how the human mind works and very inspiring and influential, leaving you feeling positive after each conversation. The research based approach they have created to help you discover your interests and strengths is very unique and trumps the traditional aptitude test approach (which I had taken years ago).
I would recommend anyone seeking help in career counseling to give Holistree a shot! “

“Holistree, the creation of Dhaval Shah is an organisation that helps teenagers in discovering and pusuing the right career in a unique way. Aside from career counselling the highly professional and experienced team also helps in dealing with issues in the personal lives of the individual while giving valuable inputs to improve one’s personality. Personally holistree helped in giving me much needed clarity and balance in my life. So if you have the desire, willingness and a strong intention to improve or change your life I would highly recommend holistree.”

“I’ve been a part of holistree since the summers of 2018 . I had just completed my 12th back then and as a normal teenager there was a lot of confusion going on in my brain, about which career to choose. That’s when my father took me to attend one of the free introduction sessions at holistree. When I first walked in I thought it was gonna be some typical parents – teacher meeting but that was totally different. At holistree I realised that choosing a right career could actually be fun and creative , and there are so many career options then why settle for anything less. Here they have a very different way of career exploration and planning which actually helped me to grow and think beyond my radar. Communication class are pretty interactive sessions are actually amazing.”

“The Holistree experiences has been amazing so far, it’s been a journey of self realisation and facing fears and facts that I always subconsciously or consciously ignored. The skill development sessions are very crisp, to the point and if practiced daily can bring immense change in daily life. This might be difficult to do but if one gets into the habit of doing it their actions will be more thoughtful. The best thing I’ve got out of Holistree is that I’ve started moving from the stage of just thinking to the stage of actually doing, I’ve been taking more actions lately while thinking about what to do next. There’s a long way to go but it’s still a good start.”

“I’m really happy with all my sessions. Holistree helped me know my core qualities, strengths and what I really like. I also love that they are liberal and although I didn’t agree to take what they recommended right now, they were by my side and supported me.

I also like the approach. It’s not like every other counsellor who takes 2-3 tests and gives the result within 2 days. They took enough time to know me well, to understand me and my interests, which is something even i couldn’t do. One of the main reasons I went to Holistree was because I didn’t know my own interests.

Their skill building session on Judgement was conducted very well. We spoke about stuff which is pretty emotional in such a comfortable space. Although I’m not someone who gets veryyy affected by judging, but this discussion was something which helped me get over even the slightest of insecurities I had. I am going to implement the being honest part and not care about what people say.”

“I started visiting holistree almost a year back when I was in total mess regarding career and personal life. To be honest I had visited another counselor earlier and was too hesitant to visit another one. But the way dhaval Bhai understands “a human mind” is just amazing.
Their process is practical and detailed. They not only helped me understand my career but also myself. I got to know my core personality and hence I could make an informed decision for myself. I am also working on developing the skills I am weak at.,
Research was the lengthy part but yet so important I got to know. They don’t believe in spoon feeding so we have to do our own work and research using the guidelines they provide, which I found amazing because it made me more confident about my decisions eventually.

They do this with all heart you can actually feel it during and after sessions.
I just loved the experience and it was worth every penny.

Would highly recommend!”

“One Saturday changed the direction of my life. I was struggling throughout my life to express myself without even understanding how to do it! Holistree gave me right path with one amazing tool.
This took a turning point of my capability to handle any situation.
I know there will be difficult time coming up, but now I know how to deal with them.
Thanks to holistree for empowering me by this session on Expressing feeling and right way of communication.
Yes holistree is known for teen support but it’s never late to learn and implement what we couldn’t do when we were in teen.
I’m using this learning in both my personal and professional life, which has resulted a great way to solve most problems coming my way.”

“Its been 5 months i have joined “HOLISTREE”. I have seen a considerable change in my way of thinking towards life. As the name Holistree means ‘Dhaval bhai’ is putting all his efforts to make a beautiful life of fellow students. Holistree team has been conducting 2 types of sessions ie :
1.personal session
2. Skill based sessions (communication, emotions etc)
For me personal session has given me phenomenal results. Talking about my problems, doubts, fear, mistakes anything to dhaval bhai without being judged is one of the best things. Once your minds get clear from all problems it will automatically focus on personal and career growth. Being introvert, clinging to a same mistakes, over thinking i almost ruined my life. But now I have confidence to talk and I’m also winning awards in my field of interest. There is personal growth in every aspect of my life. Also I recommend parents to send their children in communication sessions as it helps to know how to deal with situations and get out from it in productive manner. Guys “Trust The Process” it will surely help you like it has worked for me. Still long way to go and learn many things too. Thank you team Holistree.”

I was looking for a career workshop for my daughter when I found Holistree. What started as a mere career-seeking activity for my kid, became a life-changing experience for her. She understood parts of herself she had not known existed, she faced her anxieties, her fears. She became receptive, sharing and overall emotionally evolved. And I had never thought my perfect little girl needed counseling. So, my advice to parents who have teens at home, get them counseling, you’ll be surprised at how it’ll work out for them. Thank you to the team at Holistree for the beautiful experience. We, as a family, appreciate it. Thank you for walking that extra mile, taking a genuine interest in my daughter’s growth as a person and walking her through perhaps the trickiest phase of her life. If stars say – all five to you Holistree.

“I have surely improved after going holistree … from a teen who never cared about life and gave up on small things to a teen who is now able to fight her  own battles. I believe that if you want to improve ,you need a good guide for that and I have surely figured that holistree is one of the best guides to shape your lives in the perfect way. Other counsellors  will just give you advice on how change your life , but holistree will make you do what is told by them. Others will just talk about stuff that you are comfortable with  and leave the rest on you but here they will surely make you feel uncomfortable but you will surely see a change in yourself after all the uncomfortness.

First I was a girl who used to spend half of my time on all other distractions but after joining here I have seen my self as another new person. Now I know what my mindset about a lot of stuff and I have stop wasting time on other stuff. The Counsellors will become like a part of your life and you will not feel alone even for a bit. I have surely seen a change in my life after joining Holistree. I would advice a lot of people to join holistree if they want their lives to be just more than better. 

“vailability of a lot of Information makes this world a very exciting place; equally so the overload of Information makes the lives so difficult and complicated. Specially to Teenagers and their parents. With teens, willy-nilly connected to social media, search engines and apps every minute of the day, the impact it makes to their young mind is very tough to understand, specially to their parents who are trying hard to remain contemporaries.

A normal teenager from a middle-class background, having almost every needs taken care of, starts transforming as he comes to the realities of life in the modern world. The ambitions can be very high but the multiple path available to reach that goal, which may also be shifting every few days or weeks are the tough realities for the parents to understand. Its tough since the symptoms are not observed in a general way. Every child is different and and their reactions are way too different to catch for the parents born in 20th century who are more used to a very structured life paths. You need experience but there are no such schools and there is one life……. for the parents of an emotionally sensitive teen, its unfortunate…..

That’s where Holistree steps in. Dhaval and his tiny team with their contemporary experience of managing the teenage psyche, can be a strong bridge between you and your child for their personal and career development, considering all these challenges. How to create a balance while understanding a person by probing and also making him comfortable to share more is an art, well displayed by the Holistree team. Very crudely put in, its sometime feels like parenting outsourced. Toughest battle for them is to create a balance between two different generations who are biologically related but think very differently. The results are truly visible. I sincerely feel, a teen needs a strong guidance for their future (Professionally and personally) and parents are not always capable. Their future in today’s world hangs by a thin thread. To make is stronger to sustain the emotional/peer/career issues and challenges; Holistree is perhaps the only one to do it right. …..HOLISTREE- Bridging the Generation Gap”

“Focusing on my overall personality, Holistree has given me an opportunity to explore the inside of me and has helped me a lot in working towards my dreams to make it true..
Dhaval Bhai, Sarabjit Di and Priya Di inspired me a lot and boosted my confidence in acheiving my goals and working towards it step by step..
I am now able to overcome some of the emotional barriers in my life and it has happened all because of Holistree.. It has made me believe in myself slowly and gradually and has motivated me to perform the task without hesitation.. Holistree has given me an opportunity to actually represent me in every situation I face.. I am very much thankful to Dhaval Bhai, Priya Di and Sarabjit Di for always staying by my side and motivating me in every situation.. Holistree has really helped me to overcome my mental barriers and has opened up a path to how to live life with simplicity,which I generally don’t do.. But with your motivation, I have started to build myself hoping to see a new me in a later future..
Holistree has really inspired me by looking at my weaknesses and making those weaknesses into my strengths..

Thank you Dhaval Bhai,Priya Di and Sarabjit Di for letting me see my own self.. I am really thankful to you and I would never ever forget what inspiration you guys gave that was really amazing.. With you guys I feel free talking about my situations which I am reluctant sometimes to say,but you guys have been such amazing friends that I could share each and everything that’s going in with my life and try to overcome the mental and emotional barriers in life..
Thank you soo much for being my supporters in every situation and I wish I get such good friends like this with whom I could talk freely about my situations..
Thank you so much for inspiring me..
You guys changed my concept of living life..
Thank you so much..”

“Before meeting Dhawal bhaiya I considered myself very low, I was even afraid of talking to people around me. I was in a very bad phase but at time I holistree held my hands. When my mom told me about holistree I thought that nothing is going to happen but then also I gave it a try. And during the sessions I have learnt a very big lesson of life. I realised that I am not the only person in this world who is having problems ,there are many people who are having much bigger issues in their lives but still they are smiling, they are enjoying their lives. With Dhawal bhaiyas help I changed my fake smile into a real one and I started smiling, interacting with people and my perspective towards life has changed. He said me one thing which boosted my moral , he said “You are not alone in this journey, we are there to support you each time you fall and we will not only complete this journey but will make this very beautiful”. In this journey of holistree Dhawal bhaiya taught me to get up again myself when I fall without taking anyone’s support. Now I consider myself a very happiest person. Thanks holistree for being such a good mentor and friend.”

“Earlier I was this person who could easily drift from people, couldn’t interact with new people either. For some reason I had become a bit lifeless, person without excitement or fun. With their help I’m trying to interact with everyone, improve my personality and get involved with people around me. Rather than being surrounded just with my school friends, I’m making new friends at college too.
It’s all building my confidence and I dont really care if people are judging me or their opinion doesn’t matter as it used it affect.
After attending the sessions on emotions, I have started understating the importance of every relationship and what impact it has on our life, I had never thought about such possibilities. It was overwhelming and difficult to understand certain aspects but I’m glad we went through it. Also many such difficult topics are discussed and made easy to understand at Holistree. Thanks for having my back.”

“Being an overthinker, I always try to visualise what a person is thinking or feeling by taking their spot in my head. This often leads to me thinking that the person is thinking negatively about me, because overthinkers tend to gravitate towards negativity. I never paid attention or gave any importance to how I feel. But that really changed when I started taking help from Holistree because everytime I would talk about what someone felt, I was always asked one thing:- “How do YOU feel?”
A while ago, the primary focus of my life was my relationship. And any shift in my partner’s energy would cause me immense stress. To the point where I started breaking out and my coordination skills reduced ( I play the drums so they are very important ). Whenever I talked to Dhaval, I would talk about how my boyfriend is feeling or how he must be thinking and he would always tell me that its me who’s paying him, not my boyfriend, so I have to talk about MYSELF, because that is the most important thing. Holistree taught me to prioritise myself over anyone else and that has really helped me have better control over my emotions and my stress has reduced my a major margin. Being a little selfish is very important to someone who has anxiety because the person needs to think about their own feelings, not worry about someone else’s.
Regarding career I was able to understand what I truly wanted with proper structure because I could set bench marks with Holistree ( admission process, brief planning of future ). I had no clarity whatsoever before joining Holistree and neither did I focus on it, which was my biggest drawback. Holistree helped me add importance to my career by talking about realistic scenarios that I would face in the future and how important it actually is. Through surveys, short and long questionnaires, qualitative data like interviews, I was able to narrow down my choices which I had the most difficulty in.”

“Hello,
I am Chiraag Gupta and I had enrolled myself for the fulcrum program in Holistree , and yes my life has drastically changed in positive ways which I desired, after about 2 weeks I saw some concrete results, I had gained the ability to express my emotions socially , share my perspectives and thoughts and it was my parents who noticed it first. Apart for the 1 on 1 sessions , the group sessions were really eye opening further on one of the major attributes I picked up from the emotions sessions was the concept of self honesty and I was successful applying it in my daily life.

During the shooting of ‘as a matter of fact’ series , I met people who were absolute professionals, and me being a first timer in this kind of situation ,I thoroughly enjoyed it. The dedication in the atmosphere was phenomenal. Not to forget the recent online sessions which educated us about the art of decision making.. it gave us a brilliant picture of self realization. Holistree has always been like a 2nd family to me , it has been the journey of me calling dhaval “sir” to “bhai””

“Going to holistree for the first introduction session was one of the best decisions I ever made. The way Dhaval spoke got me and my parents instantly hooked to his speech. Before coming to holistree, I had little to no clue about what I was going to do for my career. I never even bothered thinking about it. But then I joined holistree and oh boy, it was fantastic. I had regular sessions with Sarbjit and Simran, who were one of the nicest people I ever met. They listened very carefully, they helped developing me in terms of social interaction and other things . The sessions were very fun, I discussed with them about topics I never even bothered to think by myself. They noted down every little detail, little quirks in behaviour and based me on those. And when the sessions ended, and Dhaval opened my eyes to where my potential lies, it was incredible. All in all, I would highly recommend holistree to any teenager struggling in career choices, to help identify themselves well and what they are good at and what they’re not.”

“I have started my journey with Holistree around 4 months back and it has been a mixture of a lot of emotiond and experiences, some of which were expected and some were challenging for me. I thought that the approach will traditional methods  but is was a mixture of traditional methods and modern approach.
There are various changes in me. Like I feel now I am ok if someone is trying to make my angry. I have started to accept a lot of things that I used to refuse in the past and all this has helped me overall to enhance myself as individual.  So one of the incident that has impacted my life in a big way is regarding the way my relationship with my father has improved over the time .It all started with me telling him what i was not comfortable with and then tried to work it around and I am not stilll there but I will get to it soon” ️

“The last time I remember getting worried about my after 12th plan was before meeting Dhaval sir. Once I met him, I had clearer picture in my mind about how I am supposed to go about my research work. Now being on the research stage I can say that I am much more aware about what I actually want to do and what changes I need to get in myself in order to pursue my dreams which I don’t think I would have realised if I didn’t join Holistree.
Apart from the career part, they have also helped me understand myself better and now we are working on the skills that I am lacking and wish to develop for myself.
The Sunday group sessions have been major eye opener for me and taught me what our emotions really are and how we can control them and utilise the energy that we get from our anger and frustration in being productive which would convert our anger and make us feel good about ourselves
So all in all I have had a great experience with holistree so far”

“Honestly I never wanted to attend Holistree session, cause my mom told me that they specialize in teens. That’s where I met Dhaval Sir, he’s been like a guru to me cause he recognises your true self before you can say anything. I never actually thought this would help me but after these many months I think I’m honestly growing everyday and that’s only because he pushes us a lot with the right amount of motivation. I’m always excited to meet him. One more reason why I respect him too much is that he never judges you, like I know that’s basically his job but I’ve never even sensed him judging me and I personally think everyone need one person like that in their life and especially a person who’s expertise is reading humans. So basically speaking he’s the Harvey Specter to my Mike Ross :)”

“I met dhaval sir about 7-8 months back and we have come a long way since. Along with providing guidance in career, he also guides me to enhance my personality. He understands me really well and gives good solutions to my doubts making me think. He is not the kind of person to mince words while talking. He gives the truth straight and direct which is really helpful. Because he knows me so well, he has helped me in choosing my course in engineering and moreover, he also shows me how to face the challenges in the course as well. Overall he is a really hardworking, completely dedicated to his purpose of starting ‘holistree’ and he has an open mind which is ready to accept facts without being biased. I am looking forward to my sessions with him in the near future.”

“It’s almost been half a year for me at holistree now and it’s just made me grow into a person I would never have thought I could have been, even in my.wildest dream.
I was more of a person who just talks and doesn’t take actions, my understanding towards things in life was very restricted to what I think. I never wanted to take that extra step, it’s not like I didn’t know how to take it but it was that fear inside me that held me back. I could also never express what I felt, I had a lot in me and it just stayed inside me. I always doubted my ideas and thoughts but after understanding myself over this time i have been able to overcome that obstacle and have taken that next step to tackle every challenge that comes my way.
Dhaval sir has helped me a lot with a constant push, in opening me up to the real world showing me what I need to do to push forward in life. Everything doesn’t have fairytale ending and the sooner we realise that we work towards making the end as perfect as we can.
Lately I have been following this lovely quote by Joshua Marine
“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful”
Everyday I get up with the thought that this day will bring its own challenges and with holistree by my side I’m going to face them chin up.”

“My journey with holistree has been one that helped me overcome my fears and break through my shell. I got the confidence to do things outside my comfort and this has really helped me grow as a person. It has also helped me in deciding my future. This was one area of my life I was most unsure about and was confused. Dhaval helped me decide the next steps, but not by tests but rather by making me discover what I love and would really like to do. There was an incident in particular where I was having trouble communicating with people at my new school and was too afraid to speak with anyone. With Dhaval’s help, I got the courage to speak with these people. He did this by meeting me personally and guiding me step by step into realising that i had no reason to be afraid.

At holistree, every session is very personal and I learn a lot through each one. Holistree doesn’t only teach you about what career you should take but also makes you into a better person. I feel that this journey is one every person should take.”

“Holistree has been a great journey for me. I have learnt a lot of things that have been life changing for me. Something that I would have never done or even if I wanted to do I wouldn’t have as I must have feared it. I used to feel very shy at some point of my life and never really expressed myself too.

Soon I started to realize that I have the problem of over thinking that makes me feel like everything around is going bad or not really positive but when Dhaval explained me how beautifully I can express and just talk it out, it would be so much better.There was time where I lost some of my friends. I started to behave in a certain manner that I wouldn’t usually behave and when I expressed this to Dhaval he helped me and when we spoke it all out in the end I started to understand the meaning of life is much more then that. I am quite proud of the fact that I could move on and learnt to leave things behind. Holistree also conducts communication sessions and I understood the power of it, even simple messages conveyed in effective way started making an impact in my relation with friends and family.”

“Whenever we think of career guidance, the first thing that comes to our mind is a series of tests that analyse our so called ‘aptitude’ and a recommendation of 2-3 career paths that we can follow. When we think of counseling, the first thing that comes in our mind is ‘something is wrong with me.’

Holistree is a completely different space. The career paths recommended here are not driven by any tests. A lot of factors like your soft skills, personality type, values, beliefs are taken into consideration throughout the journey.
I have enrolled for the fulcrum program and the best thing over here is that you are never judged or criticised. You are simply understood, given emotional and motivational support(and never feel that something is wrong with me). Holistree has helped me overcome my fears, anxiety and contributed to my interpersonal growth. I was suffering from social anxiety. I had a fear of meeting new people. I was able to overcome my anxiety by attending a series of communication sessions and implementing the tips and tricks. I received a very realistic and effective ways of communicating with people. It has truly helped me become a better version of myself.”

“Holistree is different from other career counselors due to its unique style of connecting with people. They are a support system in true sense. They are dedicated and are ready to help us in any walks of our life. They are keen on knowing us, who we really are, and they give help and support not only in the fields of education but also with personal matters. They have different tricks up their sleeves which will help you in most of the problems that you face in life. They are as your elder sister or brother with whom you can share most of the things which you may feel uncomfortable sharing with your parents.

They help you overcome your fears, irrespective of what they are. They will help you develop certain traits and skills that are must and which will help you sustain in this competitive world. They helped you develop control over anger and build confidence as well. They suggest courses (not only educational) that they feel are fit for you to develop certain skill set.
Overall they care about you and would be there behind you most of the time.”

“Holistree brought clarity in my life, whether it’s about my career or my personal life.I have always been an average student, I never thought I’d be able to keep up with the scholars but after coming here, I’m slowly and steadily getting closer. Apart from that, a teenager goes through various problems, which act as hindrance in our studies, which we probably can’t explain our parents, hence losing focus. Holistree taught me how to avoid such distractions and their long term impacts too. I have gradually transformed into a person which I always dreamt of and this was possible only because of their constant support and encouragement. They’ve always had my back.”

“Becoming a part of Holistree is one of the decisions, I would never regret. Its been not more than 6 months for me in Holistree but I am already sensing the change. From my school life to my plans in the future, Dhaval has always been on my side, motivating and encouraging me. He has been very helpful and has been guiding me to the right path. At first, I thought that it would be like a student-teacher kind of thing but I was wrong. We have developed a very friendly relationship and we discuss things quite casually. There is a sense of trust that has formed between us.
The style of approaching students like me is very unique and interesting. Holistree helped me get clear with many of my problems and is assisting me to shape my future. Career guidance is one of the key things one requires and Holistree is simply excelling in it.
This journey has been stupendous and I would never like it to stop. Thanks a ton to Dhaval and Priya to start Holistree and hope you reach out to many more students and help them too!”

“My journey so far with holistree has been great, the way they have come up with this company is inspiring and I am amazed with the idea they’re working on. Holistree helped me figure out the Right Career for myself & has changed the way I look at life. Also it has given me a mature perspective in any decision I take in my life. Holistree has given me the power to do something that i wasn’t able to do before. With Holistree, they are going to change the way people see the world. Especially a person like me; I was an introvert, but holistree has helped me to open up, also taught me to be honest in life. Thank you, you guys do a great job.”

“My journey in Holistree began from last week of June the sessions were more interactive and a lot communicative. I have even attended the listening sessions which were hosted by Dhaval Shah. In those sessions I got to know the areas in which I used to make mistakes and rectifying it day by day.
The Holistree team is very supportive and helpful. They help me rectify each and every doubt which I have in my head, no matter if its a silly doubt or something. I was even guided for the courses which are beneficial for my further studies and also with the pattern to utilize the whole day.
Overall my experience in Holistree is really amazing.
Thank you Dhaval Shah, Priya Shah and Rhea Banerjee for being there and keep up the good work.”
