What Instytut Psychoimmunologii IPSI Wojciecha Eichelbergera does

Instytut Psychoimmunologii IPSI Wojciecha Eichelbergera (legally registered as Instytut Psychoimmunologii – Laboratorium Efektywności sp. z o. o.) is a Warsaw-based private psychology and personal development institute founded in 2004 by Wojciech Eichelberger. The company operates as a niche consulting and training firm specializing in stress management, burnout prevention, and psychoimmunology — the study of interactions between psychological states and immune function. Its service portfolio spans open-enrollment and corporate workshops, individual and group psychotherapy, one-on-one and executive coaching, mindfulness training, residential retreats, and crisis webinars. Core methodology rests on the proprietary "8xO" (Osiem razy Odporność / Eight Times Resilience) framework, which combines body-based techniques, breathwork, mindfulness, integral therapy, and psychological coaching into a branded stress-management curriculum taught across workshop, residential, and coaching formats.

The business serves two principal customer bases: corporate clients (Siemens, Nestle, Rossmann, Saint-Gobain, Onet, Vox, Śląskie Centrum Chorób Serca) receiving tailored in-house workshops, and individual consumers attending open workshops and retreats. Delivery is multi-channel: in-person at the Warsaw headquarters (ul. Willowa 8/10), at partner venues (Joga Sztuka Życia, Sulejówek premium location), at client sites nationwide, and through the PositiveLife.pl online course platform. Pricing is per-event (e.g., 990 PLN for the 8-week MBLC mindfulness course, 1,400 PLN for the 2-day 8xO Premium Edition) with therapy and coaching on inquiry. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is a closely-held Polish LLC with no external investors evidenced.
