Optimum Health Institute of Austin

what a priveledge to be able to review this place. All the staff are wonderful, caring beings and the program is wonderful, well thought out and put together in a way that you take as much home as you can handle. although i am vegan before i went and have studied health and eating for years, i learned so much. i have done all 3 weeks and cannot wait to return and learn more-​the knowledge is not as important as the ability to make all the reccomendations appear as doable pleasures, not tasks, to incorporate in your day to day life. If you are thinking about going here, quit that and just sign up, now. few things in life are as good as you wish, and this is one of those few things.

Beautiful grounds, caring and knowledgeable staff, healthy raw vegan food and so much more makes OHI a sacred place of healing and transformation. Everything is designed to focus on facilitating healing of the body, mind, and spirit and healing miracles truly do occur. For those, such as myself, who just needed a tune up and the space to get centered and reconnected with source, OHI provides a relaxing and supportive place for this. Although I have been an alternative health care provider for over 27 years, I gained new knowledge regarding how to best care for myself in addition to review of time tested wisdom and truth. I’ve been recommending OHI to my patients and know I will return again. We are so blessed to have OHI in our own backyard.

This is an incredible place, we are so lucky to have a place like this so close to Austin. I went for a week, just to rest and to detox. The grounds were amazing (Spring) and the classes were very informative. I slept, I swam, walked and did yoga everyday. The massage therapists (I had 2 that week) were both amazing. There were many people that were there to recover from an illness or from surgery — and they all were helped tremendously. The wheatgrass is the best you will ever drink — your body will love you for it. I lost 10 pounds (that was not why I was there), my allergies lessened, I felt clear minded, and so energetic after my stay. I do a detox every year, and OHI is the most affordable, convenient and relaxing place that I have ever been.

It took me maybe a year before I could muster up the courage come to OHI. But since 2001, I’ve gone back every year. The facility was originally designed as a spa, so it’s really nice. The place feels like home. Every time I return, it’s like coming back to family.
I was in the military, then in business. I wasn’t conscientious about what I put in my body to give me fuel. It was all about what tasted great. I wasn’t a big vegetable eater, so OHI was an eye opener for me. I felt so good after the first session and had so much energy that now I think fueling your body properly is a pretty darn good idea. Without a really healthy body, we don’t know the kind of energy we can experience. We get used to having an energy level of 75−80%. Then you begin eating in a healthy way for several weeks, and your energy level rises to 90−95%. You accomplish things faster, and you get more clarity. It has helped my business, I know, so I’m very grateful to know how to fuel my body properly.
The classes here are very interesting. And each class improves every time I come back. They’re updated, and new materials are introduced. Instructors present the materials professionally, and the classes are never boring. I’ve talked to several people who’ve had latter stage cancer. Hearing their stories and seeing the kind of difference OHI has made for them is the most enjoyable aspect of coming to OHI.

I can’t believe I’m the first one to review this amazing place! I’m just about finished with my week at OHI. The program is all about cleansing, detoxifying, relearning, motivation, body/​mind/​spirit connection, resting, and the infinitely healing powers of wheatgrass! I’m way passed satisfied. Location is beautiful and quiet, surroundings lovely, great staff, and delicious raw food — in all it’s various forms. I’ll be back! Thank you OHI.
