Testimonials
Here is just a selection of some of the kind words we have received from our clients over many years.
As a business woman and a mother of five children, time is of the essence to me, and the choices I make about what to do with my time ultimately underpin my success. Put quite simply, Lifestyle Elements gives me time back in my week and allows me to focus on the things that I am passionate about and that need my direct influence – my family and my businesses. Tim and Abbie take care of essential parts of my life that don’t have to be done by me in person. From shopping to cleaning; car services to quote gathering; home repairs to tradespeople management and even helping cast surprises on my team at Christmas. I value them and the time they save me – they have become an integral part of my support network.

A few years ago we were attempting to juggle all of our work and family commitments! Life was busy and we needed an extra us! So late at night we began googling to see if there was a part time service similar to Alice from the Brady Bunch! We found Abbie and Lifestyle Elements Concierge. We can’t recommend them enough. They have made an incredible difference in our lives and they help to ensure we have the time to focus on those things most important to us!

Abbie and Tim have created an incredible service based on professional communication and trust. They are an extension of my personal and professional life managing tasks I am unable to get to whilst travelling for work and balancing a full time career with single parenting. They manage any tasks small or large with attention to detail, efficiency, cost effectiveness and all with genuine warmth and care. I just them implicitly and recommend them to my friends and colleagues all of the time, they are that good and always say yes to any of my requests!

I was recommended to contact Abbie Allen by a professional friend, who had used the services of Lifestyle Elements. Very quickly Abbie, Tim and the team made my life easier and took away all of those little tasks that were starting to build up into a big load of work! Abbie is professional, trustworthy, and an expert in her field. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to engage the services of a personal concierge for business or home. It’s a life changer!

The service provided by Lifestyle Elements is an enormous positive for us. The package we’re providing acts as a great staff benefit for our senior management team. It improves staff retention for us, and it provides a reward to the staff concerned (and more importantly, to their families) which just feels priceless. Its a huge stress reliever. It gives us all more hours in the day to do the things we want to do – with Lifestyle Elements helping us with the things we all have to do.

Abbie is amazing. I was interstate and my elderly parents needed urgent respite care. I was unable to get to Adelaide in time. I rang around and found Abbie, a godsend. She was able to run round and organise an ‘emergency to-go’ clothing and toiletries bag for my parents and to organise care and food etcetera for their pets. She kept me in the loop at every step and was diligent and caring whilst being extremely efficient. I would recommend Abbie in a heartbeat!

Abbie and Tim (Lifestyle Elements) are my favourite resource for whenever I need to get stuff done and am short of time. Working a full time job with two business adventures on the side it's often difficult to find time to take care of the busy work, the random stuff that needs to be done from time to time to keep my life on track. With their help I am able to focus my energy on my work, career, health and happiness. Over the past few years I have found them to be very reliable and responsive to my needs and have used their services to help organise and complete a wide variety of tasks including home renovations, rubbish removal, gardening, laundry as well as for emergencies with my electricity and water supply and probably a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't remember right now. It's really simple, whenever I have a problem I just send them an email or a text message and it gets solved. Thanks for your help guys and best wishes for the future.

Lifestyle Elements enable me to have work life balance as they do so much that gives me time to enjoy my life outside work. Nothing is too much trouble.

If you’re time poor and the day to day grind overwhelms – let Abbie help! I have had the pleasure of working with Abbie on many occasions. She is reliable, efficient and highly professional all while maintaining a warm and friendly approach. There has never been a job too big or too small for Abbie and I would happily recommend her services to my friends and family.

Director, Therapia, Adelaide SA
Lifestyle Elements has provided an invaluable service to our organisation for many years helping with anything from organising major conference and awards events to taking minutes and organising meetings. No task has been too big or small for Abbie and her team to help us with and she has always stayed cool and calm. She is a great asset to our team and I trust her judgement and value her opinions and advice.
Kirsty Kelly
former CEO, Planning Institute of Australia
Lifestyle Elements has been a boon to myself and my business. Nothing is ever too small or too large for them - and the quality of service is superb. As the owner of a business it can be tough getting everything done and still finding time to lead a balanced life. Abbie and her team are at the core of my ability to do that. From picking my car up from the airport after an emergency flight to contacting clients while I was stuck in London due to the Icelandic volcano; from finding staff members to organising a Xmas Tree and gift wrapping to arranging holidays, Abbie's team is reliable and efficient. I recommend them very highly.

Indra Process and Performance Consulting, Adelaide SA
Sometimes life gets busy! Ok so all the time life is busy! I thought a personal concierge is a novelty for the rich and famous. It certainly made me feel like I was rich and famous! The ease of placing a job request and knowing it was going to be completed while I attended to the other 20 things on my list was priceless! I strongly recommend the services of Lifestyle Elements, even if you think your request is silly...I bet they've done it before!

Just doing my shopping alone on a weekly basis has given me more quality time with my children. I couldn't live without it now.
Liz, Adelaide SA
It was a relief to be able to hand the phoning and organisation over to someone else. I felt the whole time that I knew exactly what was going on. Overall we had a really positive experience.
