About the OHI Retreat

The Optimum Health Institute has been helping individuals embrace holistic health since 1997. Our Austin retreat, just 16 miles from downtown Austin, spans 14 wooded acres of natural beauty. This peaceful sanctuary is designed to help you step back from life’s demands and fully immerse yourself in the process of healing and renewal.

At the heart of our retreat is a warm and inviting Hacienda-style main building, where you’ll find 18 guest rooms carefully designed to encourage rest and relaxation. The Great Hall, with its stone fireplace and comfortable seating, offers a cozy gathering space for reflection, conversations, or simply enjoying a quiet moment. Whether indoors or out, every corner of the retreat is designed to foster peace and mindfulness.

OHI Austin’s outdoor spaces are equally inspiring. Take a walk along our meandering trails, surrounded by vibrant flowers and shaded by native trees. These paths offer a chance to reconnect with nature and find calm in the beauty of the Texas landscape. For those seeking a quiet moment, our gardens and seating areas provide serene spots for introspection, meditation, or journaling.

You’ll also find a small, inviting chapel on campus, perfect for quiet prayer or meditation. This sacred space provides a sense of comfort and connection, allowing you to focus on your spiritual well-being in a setting that feels both private and welcoming. Unwind further by visiting the pool or hot tub, where you can soak away tension and feel your energy restored. Whether you’re starting your day with a peaceful swim or ending it with a relaxing soak, these amenities are designed to complement your wellness journey.

Our on-campus Optimum Health Store is available to support your experience, offering a curated selection of books, self-care items, and tools to help you continue your progress at home.

Every element of OHI Austin has been carefully considered to create a nurturing environment for healing and growth, making it a true destination for those ready to invest in their health.

Holistic Wellness Programs

The holistic wellness program at OHI Austin focuses on three core pillars—physical, mental, and spiritual health. Each element of the program is designed to help you achieve balance and renewal in your life, providing tools and practices that promote lasting wellness.

Physical Health

Detoxification is at the center of OHI’s physical wellness program. By focusing on the whole person—body, mind, and emotions—our detox approach creates space for true rejuvenation.

A key element of this process is our raw, organic, plant-based diet. Carefully planned meals are served to support your body’s natural detoxification processes while providing the nutrients needed for vitality and energy. Guests often notice a significant improvement in how they feel within days of adopting this clean, wholesome way of eating.

In addition to nutrition, the physical health program includes yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness exercises. These gentle practices are designed to enhance circulation, improve flexibility, and promote a sense of relaxation and well-being. Participants of all fitness levels are encouraged to join, as the activities are tailored to be inclusive and accessible.

The physical health sessions go beyond cleansing the body; they also promote mental clarity and emotional balance, making this a truly integrated experience. Many guests leave feeling lighter, more energized, and ready to embrace life with renewed focus.

Mental Health

OHI Austin’s mental wellness program is designed to help you cultivate resilience, focus, and emotional well-being. Through a combination of guided meditations, mindfulness exercises, and workshops on positive thinking, you’ll develop practical tools to manage stress and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

Self-reflection is an important part of the mental health program. Activities and exercises encourage you to explore your thoughts and emotions, helping you uncover patterns and make meaningful changes. This introspective work is complemented by group discussions and therapy sessions, which provide a safe space for sharing and connection.

Nutrition is another focus of mental health at OHI. You’ll learn how food impacts your mood and brain function, gaining valuable insights into how to nourish your mind as well as your body. These lessons provide lasting benefits, equipping you with strategies to maintain mental clarity and emotional balance long after your retreat.

Spiritual Health

Spiritual wellness is a cornerstone of the OHI program, and our spiritual health classes are designed to nurture your inner self in a way that aligns with your beliefs and goals. Whether through prayer, meditation, or gratitude practices, these sessions provide space for deep reflection and connection.

The spiritual aspect of the program is inclusive, welcoming participants from all faiths and backgrounds. While OHI Austin operates as part of the Free Sacred Trinity Church (FSTC), the focus is on spirituality rather than religion, allowing each guest to explore their spiritual path in their own way.

Guests frequently describe the spiritual health sessions as transformative, helping them uncover new insights and gain a sense of inner peace. Whether you’re looking to deepen your existing practice or explore new approaches, OHI Austin provides a supportive and inspiring environment for growth.

From the staff, excellent program, and the wonderful grounds, OHI is where I go to reset and heal. The friends you make last a long time. This was my first time to the Austin campus. I had been to San Diego twice before. I think Austin is now my favorite. You can’t beat the walking paths. I really can’t say enough. THANK YOU Austin OHI. I had a lovely experience. ❤️❤️

I love OHI, there is no better way to renew your health and well being. This is so much more than a place to cleanse with a healthy diet and exercise program. The facilitators are all top notch and your life will be changed for the better when you chose this retreat.

"I believe career starts with ‘care’ and feel blessed to bring my profession and passions full circle here at OHI. As a former guest, I saw OHI as a healing refuge - and now get to return the favor. It took 19 years at P&G followed by a career change into health and wellness, but the journey has been invigorating and I’m excited to help others succeed in their own wellness journeys."
