Claude Chouinard

Creating and sharing happiness has always been Claude’s life mission. Through meaningful experiences and personal connection, he encourages a way of living that is authentic, mindful, and free from pressure.In 1992, Claude left behind a successful career in Canada to embark on a year-long spiritual journey. That journey extended into nearly eight years of self-discovery, during which he explored ancient wisdom traditions—including Ayurveda, which he encountered while traveling through India. This holistic science of life left a profound impression on him and quietly began shaping his path.

In 2000, Claude settled in Bali, drawn by the island’s healing energy and spiritual depth. He co-founded a day spa in Ubud, and in 2003, together with his partner Iyan, launched Oneworld Retreats—a space where thousands have since come to reflect, heal, and reconnect with their true selves.

Having personally experienced the transformative power of Ayurveda, Claude was inspired to make another dream a reality. In 2015, he began the creation of a dedicated Ayurvedic center rooted in tradition and authenticity. Oneworld Ayurveda opened in 2016 in the peaceful hills of Tegallalang, offering Panchakarma and Ayurvedic healing guided by experienced doctors and therapists.

Following the pandemic, Oneworld Ayurveda expanded with a second location in Ubud. Today, it is recognized as Southeast Asia’s most respected Ayurvedic center, known for its life-changing programs, heartfelt hospitality, and deep commitment to authentic healing.

Bali has great therapeutic powers to calm and heal—with its distinctive people, breathtaking nature, and powerful energy—and when combined with the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, it becomes a truly transformative experience.
