OHI Austin Campus
In this rural setting, you can escape your hectic world to rejuvenate in a safe place where you can connect with nature and bask in the support of a close-knit community focused on healthy living.

The OHI Austin mission was established in 1997 and is located on 14 wooded acres in central Texas – 16 miles east of Austin and 20 minutes from the airport. The Hacienda-style house consists of 18 guest rooms, a Great Hall with its stone fireplace, our dining room, and classrooms where small class-sizes afford extra personal attention.
During your stay, take time to enjoy a quiet walk in our beautiful garden or along peaceful wooded trails. Visit the chapel for quiet contemplation. Stop by the Optimum Health Store where you can purchase books, personal care products, and more. Or grab your swimsuit for a refreshing swim or relaxing hot tub. Enjoy your time of relaxation and renewal at OHI Austin – your “home” away from home.

Meet the Staff

Danielle Demko
Executive Director
OHI community member since 2018
“I’m passionate about people—and inspiring them to live life at the highest level. That’s why it’s such an honor to encourage and cheer our community members on as they navigate their healing journeys. I’ve also pursued my own healing journey through the years—and joining OHI finally sync’d what I knew instinctively and had learned over the years about the connection between body, mind and spirit. Its simple truths are profound!”

Dr. Suzi du Toit, D.C.
Secretary of the OHI Austin Board, Facilitator
OHI community member since 1997
"My experience has been very rewarding to serve on the board of OHI Austin. It has allowed me to extend my stewardship to the Optimum Health Institute. My passion has been to inform the guests with the program material and therefore empower them to make the right choices for their body, mind, and spirit balance. As a Board Member, decisions are made to continue supporting the program that has enlightened so many people around the world!"

Marianne Arriaga

"I once read, 'The day you find a job you love, is the last day you’ll ever have to work'. For me, that day was the day I discovered OHI. It inspires me. The company’s mission, values and principles makes me proud to be part of the team."

"I love that the Optimum Health Institute provides space that feels safe and sacred in order for guests to experience God’s presence. It is such a blessing for me personally to have the opportunity to share in their journey towards health and healing."

Pharon Wilson
Kitchen & Greenhouse Manager
OHI community member since 2018
“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.”
