MEET THE FOUNDERS

What do a Neurosurgeon, a Luxury Hospitality Expert and an Entrepreneur have in common? Burnout, as it turns out.

​

The three founders of OSOA hail from very different backgrounds ( South Africa, Namibia and Kenya), and life experiences, but we share a common trait, the drive to succeed in what we set our minds to.

 

It makes for interesting, full lives and careers, but also means the sort of personality that will keep going until the battery is completely flat. So when we last got together and one of us was going through burnout at the time, we started speaking about the complete lack of resources available for people experiencing burnout.

 

You are largely left to your own devices, booked off work and told to find help. You often don't know where to start, and you're so exhausted and fed up and disheartened you don't even have the energy to start the process, but you know that simple rest is just not going to cut it. 

​

We thought, given our experience and our skillsets, maybe it was time to put together an easy to follow, professionally curated program for people suffering like we did. We want people to recover somewhere lovely too, not be stuck in a rehab type scenario so we've created OSOA to be a luxury home away from home, with the added benefit of a  super powered team helping you reboot and reset.

​

We found that a holistic approach worked the best, not just focusing on one element ( say psychotherapy) but complementing that with attention to the body and the soul, in that physical state influences mental state (hello gut brain connection) and a calm mind counts for a lot in moments of stress, being able to recenter and rebalance ( hello meditation).

 

The OSOA method is a holistic approach to burnout recovery, put together to give you the most effective road back to yourself.

 

Burnout recovery is not quick, but once you reset and get the right help, it is completely possible. At OSOA we create the ideal environment for your recovery, and follow this up with a members only aftercare program, where you can continue your treatment and have the support we all need, from wherever you are in the world.

​

We are based in Cape Town, because this allows us to host you in a beautiful setting, in luxurious villas, with world class medical and holistic professionals, for a fraction of the cost of Europe or USA.
