Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary

Though the first known modern Cedar Enzyme Bath was established in the 1940s in Hokkaido, Japan, its history dates back centuries. This unique healing experience grows out of ancient Japanese traditions wherein fruits, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, seaweed, and other life forms were harvested at their prime and processed into salves and tonics for healing wounds and other ailments.

Located in scenic Sonoma County, Osmosis is well known for our unique Cedar Enzyme Bath, our rejuvenating massages, organic facials, and our beautiful Zen-inspired meditation gardens. Since day one, our expert staff has offered a holistic experience of nurturing, nourishing, and centering. We envision Osmosis as a sanctuary: a place to find relief from the emotional stress and physical pain of everyday life, and a place to prepare yourself for new beginnings.

Osmosis first opened its doors in 1985, but our history reaches back even farther, to the birth of the modern environmental movement. As a student at the recently-opened UC Santa Cruz in the late 1960s, Osmosis founder Michael Stusser found himself at the nexus of emerging efforts to promote ecological sustainability and explore new paths to spirituality. He quickly found a home in the early organic gardening community, and helped establish two horticultural training centers still in operation today.

Osmosis was created with the intention to serve as a catalyst for community, vitality, and awakening. Our mission encourages connection, earth-friendly lifestyle, and optimal health. Shared vision, right livelihood, and meaningful work are the cornerstones of our community-building efforts. To that end, we strive to cultivate relationships among our team, in our local setting, and by connecting visitors and leaders in the fields of health, sustainability, and spirituality around the world.We also support, sponsor, and participate in various local initiatives and events around the community that align with our values.
