The only Cedar Enzyme Bath in the United States.
Daily
Visit WebsiteThe Cedar Enzyme Bath — the only one in the United States. Pre-bath tea ceremony in the Japanese tea garden, twenty minutes immersed in fermenting cedar fiber and rice bran, then a finishing massage in a pagoda overlooking the koi ponds. The single most distinctive spa experience in Northern California.
Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary is the only Cedar Enzyme Bath in the United States — a Japanese-derived wellness ritual that founder Michael Stusser brought from Kyoto to Freestone in 1985 and has refined over four decades into the most distinctive spa experience in Northern California. The cedar enzyme bath is a fragrant, dry-blend immersion of cedar fiber, rice bran, and over six hundred living plant enzymes that generate gentle heat through fermentation — effectively a wood-and-bran sauna that detoxifies the body, eases joint inflammation, and leaves skin softer for days. Voted Best Spa in Sonoma County for seventeen years running.
The five-acre property in tiny Freestone is built around Kyoto-style Japanese gardens — stone paths, koi ponds, meditation pagodas, and a tea garden where pre-bath tea ceremony precedes every treatment. Beyond the cedar enzyme bath, Osmosis offers pagoda-set massages overlooking the gardens, organic facials, and combination packages that pair the bath with massage or facial. The Bohemian Highway location is a deliberate choice: an hour west of the wine country towns, surrounded by redwood and fern, with no cell service in the treatment buildings. The property reads as a sanctuary because it is one. Osmosis is the spa to book on a wine country trip when the rest of the itinerary is full of crowds and tasting rooms.
