Our Holistic Retreat

At Optimum Health Institute (OHI), we offer a variety of classes that promote whole-person healing. Each session is designed to support your physical, mental, and spiritual growth in a calm, focused setting unique to our El Paso location. 

Physical Health

Our detox classes are key to supporting total-body wellness. We use a natural approach that combines raw, plant-based nutrition with gentle movement and healing therapies.

Meals are rich in living foods, fresh juices, and herbal teas to help cleanse the body and enhance energy. These are paired with yoga, walking, and light exercise to encourage circulation and reduce stress.

Guests also attend educational classes on topics like fasting, hydration, and toxin-free living. All are led by experienced staff ready to guide your journey and provide practical tools for lasting change.

Mental Health

OHI’s mental health classes help ease stress and bring clarity by guiding participants through grounding practices.

From mindfulness and breathing techniques to group discussions and quiet journaling, each activity is structured to foster emotional release and inner peace.

Our plant-based meals are also chosen to support mood stability and brain health, and our workshops help guests build self-awareness and emotional strength.

Spiritual Health

Spiritual growth is central to healing. Our El Paso retreat encourages self-discovery through guided meditation, prayer, gratitude practices, and time for personal reflection.

While rooted in a Christian framework, our program welcomes people from all spiritual paths and walks of life. Our mission is to help you reconnect with your sense of purpose, no matter your beliefs.

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."
