Oaxaca, Mexico has been a selectively known destination for health and wellness since the 1960s. Legends of traditional healers from long ago, known as curanderas and hueseros, influence the cultural background even today. Oaxaca is much like a thousand small towns that have all grown together and integrated, yet the authentic culture of each continues to thrive. While considered to be one of the more remote states of the country of Mexico, Oaxaca is currently opening up to the modern world with examples such as a medical school, growing airport, and thriving tourism industry.
Our vision for the future is Oaxaca as a global center of natural health and wellness.
In particular, the services and experiences offered through MED*UM are ideal for week-long and month-long intensives focused on daily transformation of your mind, body, and spirit. Our long-term goal for your health is providing a professional yet relaxed and fun environment where you can come to stay and detox from the modern world and focus on longevity, as well as feeling as good as you can with the years that you have.
The science of longevity is starting to show that traditional techniques, especially osteopathy and craniosacral massage, can add years of high quality life to one’s experience on planet Earth. Common sense would indicate that taking care of one’s body would lead to a longer, fuller life, and we’ve seen plenty of colloquial evidence of local healers maintaining a seemingly youthful vibrancy into the later years. Our wellness packages are oriented towards giving you a glimpse of scientific aspects of longevity integrated with authentic local traditions and therapies that have been proven to work.
Known as a health holiday in some parts of the world, wellness travel is becoming an exceptionally important way to spend your vacation time. Oaxaca is known for its history, colonial architecture, food culture, thriving artist community, nature, and tourism. It provides an optimal atmosphere for those looking to improve their health while enjoying a vacation or holiday in a relatively affordable part of the world.
We offer all-inclusive wellness packages ranging from a week to a month in duration. The idea is to have an unlimited level of service daily for the duration of your stay in Oaxaca.*
* An unlimited level of service must, of course, respect natural limits. For example, an osteopathic spinal alignment can only be performed once a week.
