TESTIMONIALS

Working with Dr Oberdan Marianetti at his OM-Wellness Retreat was a life-changing experience. He viscerally demonstrated to me the problematic internal lens through which I view and interpret the world around me, and helped me discover a concrete path to overcome deeply ingrained patterns of behaviour and thought that I could see were harmful to myself and those around me.

The Retreat has given me renewed internal motivation to continue working on becoming a better person for the benefit of myself and others. D.

I had an extremely powerful and transformative experience through the very well guided and thought through physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual exercices. K.

I went out of my comfort zone, felt and experienced things I'd normally rather avoid. But not avoiding and facing them in this workshop significantly and positively impacts my self-belief in my ability to cope with life's inevitable challenges. C.

With an exceptional blend of psychology and experiential activities designed to reconnect all aspects of being human through breathwork, movement and cold exposure practices, the OM-Wellness Process enable a profoundly efficient and life-changing experience as featured in The Straits Times, Vogue, South China Morning Post and Tatler.

This holistic yet personalised approach not only reduces anxiety, enhances sleep, and boosts immunity but also empowers participants to create sustainable lifestyle changes. This VIP Stress Management Retreat is more than a wellness programme—it’s a pathway to revitalised living, ensuring balance and resilience in all areas of life.
