OMAT
Program
Welcome to the OMAT Program.
Hi, I’m Chemda. I’d like to share with you the 8 tools that, I believe, saved my life and continue to give me strength on a daily basis.
In 2016, I was visiting with doctors who looked at me like I had a quickly-approaching expiration date on my forehead. I had a giant (as one doctor phrased it, football-sized) tumor in my chest. The mass was so big, it pressed against my lung and my heart was pushed into my shoulder.
Although I was concerned about the tumor, it wasn’t the open-heart surgery that worried me. I didn’t know how I was going to survive emotionally. I wanted control over my feelings. I wanted to be happy. I started learning how our minds worked. I researched how to be happy, how to live well, what to do to live a full life. I found that all the information led to creating the OMAT program.

OMAT grew from Chemda's personal experience facing a serious illness and her search for emotional self-management. Through intensive research on happiness, positive psychology, and mindfulness practices, she crafted these effective techniques.
While testimonials speak volumes, OMAT aligns with evidence-based practices like mindfulness meditation, positive affirmations, and gratitude journaling, each linked to reduced stress, increased resilience, and improved well-being.
Regardless of physical limitations or health conditions (consult your doctor if needed), OMAT offers modifications and encourages choosing exercises that suit your unique needs. Even limited mobility can benefit from gentle yoga flow and chair-based exercises.
OMAT Program is held virtually every weekday at 10 am ET.
OMAT Meetings start with a with a quick introduction. Participants will then be guided through the eight different one-minute OMAT exercises. Short breaks may be offered between exercises.
