Our Holistic Retreat

At Optimum Health Institute (OHI), our program features a wide range of immersive classes focused on transforming the body, mind, and spirit. Each element of the program is designed to guide you toward balance and lasting vitality. The calm setting in Bakersfield provides the perfect space to focus on your personal growth and healing. 

Physical Health

Our detox-centered program supports the body’s natural ability to heal through plant-based meals, raw organic foods, cleansing beverages, and herbal teas. These choices help eliminate toxins and boost energy levels from within.

The physical aspect of wellness also includes movement practices such as yoga, stretching, and gentle activities that promote circulation, reduce stress, and enhance focus. Breathwork and guided relaxation help to calm the nervous system and support your body’s cleansing processes.

Classes led by knowledgeable facilitators cover essential wellness topics including hydration, digestive health, and fasting. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to care for your body through natural, sustainable habits.

Mental Health

Our mental wellness sessions are designed to provide clarity, balance, and emotional resilience. Through small group settings, reflective exercises, and mindfulness-based practices, guests are encouraged to examine thoughts and feelings with openness and compassion.

Techniques such as journaling, visualization, and guided meditation are used to help release emotional blocks, reduce anxiety, and foster peace of mind. Group sharing and peer support offer meaningful connections that enhance emotional healing.

Educational classes give you practical tools to manage stress, increase self-awareness, and nurture emotional well-being both during your stay and once you return home.

Spiritual Health

Spiritual wellness is a vital part of healing at OHI. Through quiet reflection, gratitude practices, and meditation, guests are supported in deepening their spiritual connection and inner peace.

OHI is a non-denominational Christian healing ministry, open to individuals of all beliefs. The spiritual approach is rooted in openness, acceptance, and personal discovery.

Our classes help cultivate a strong sense of spiritual awareness, inviting you to realign with your purpose and experience a renewed sense of wholeness. The supportive environment encourages introspection and growth in a meaningful and lasting way.

What Guests Are Saying

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."
