PIAI: a new perspective on health and well-being
SPA, HEALTH & WELLNESS PROGRAM
OriginsPiai (pronounced: pee-ay) is the name used for the native Indian medicine man. The medicine man was the healer, priest, herbal and miracle doctor who led ceremonies and gave advice. His main goal was to help his people understand life and point out to them where they had failed with nature. At the core of all the Piai’s advice was the understanding that nature always strives for perfect balance! Any failure of our inner workings –what we now call “disease” - has a cause and by finding and understanding the cause we can better work on restoring said balance.The PIAI Institute is founded on the Piai tradition and will continue this tradition.Using the Piai’s understanding to combine the best of Western and Eastern Medicine, we are uniquely equipped to guide you towards understanding the root causes of your health issues and to help you make the necessary changes for optimum well-being and vitality.

Executive 1-day intensivesFew activities can empower your team as much as our “Key to Success” 1-day intensive workshop!
The well-being of a workforce, from the managing team to the trainees, is crucial in creating a competitive advantage for business but also has a positive impact on the communities that the business supports.
Our 1-day intensive is aimed at empowering the individual while developing team cohesion. The key benefits include:• Increased motivation, drive and enthusiasm• Increased resilience to stress• Boost to employee creativity and problem solving ability• Leadership development
Tailored corporate programsOne of the best ways to inspire and revitalize your employees is by having a ‘corporate health retreat and team building’.
• Retreats can be offered as a reward for top performers and management teams. They are also effective in preparing the most valuable members of the team for an important upcoming time period by helping them de-stress, re-energize and get motivated to perform as a team.
• Short intensive programs can be an effective solution to develop team cohesion and empower individuals especially during corporate changes.
• Customized workshops on specific topics like stress management and strengthening your memory are great ways to invest in your employees’ engagement with the company while at the same time developing leadership skills and boosting problem-solving abilities.
At PIAI we understand the considerations behind investing in corporate wellness. We are fully aware that companies want to solve absenteeism and turnover issues and that ultimately what they want to invest in is increased problem solving skills and increased productivity. That is why at PIAI we have a dedicated Director of Corporate Wellness, with a proven track record in C-level positions, who will work closely with your company to tailor any one of our retreats and executive intensive days to the company’s specific needs and preferences.
If you have a team of 25 or more, please contact us for customized options.
It is a very intensive journey to uncovering maximum personal potential. The day is held at the exclusive Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort. Tea breaks, lunch and a healthy hour at the end of the day, are included.
