I truly enjoyed the hot stone massage. The therapist, Hunter, was kind and respectful. He made sure to check in to make sure I was comfortable. He had a peaceful personality that added to the experience. Thank you! I would like to provide one piece of feedback to Osmosis. The welcome I received coming in was beautiful. Please consider providing massage tables that can be accessible to different body types in order to add to the physical comfortable. I appreciate your part in our self-care journeys. read more

I will start with the positives because this is a special place. The grounds and meditation garden are absolutely stunning. There were several spots to sit and have a quiet moment on the property and there was tea and water and nuts available in multiple spots. I had the cedar bath followed by the fusion massage. The cedar bath is a very unique experience and felt grounding and comforting. It was indeed special and a unique experience and it is something I will likely come back for. Now the not so positive...the showers and changing rooms are quite small and very well lived in. The shower curtain had a mold like smell and considering how immaculate the gardens are, I am surprised they have not invested some funds into updating the indoor facilities, especially because the services are priced fairly high. I went on a Monday and my locker room wasn't busy but I can imagine it may get busy on the weekends because they are small and do not have much room for more than 1-2 people at a time. My massage was mediocre at best. I regularly get Swedish massages and do not require a lot of pressure but the massage therapist was very gentle and at times I felt like I was being softly pet and not massaged. I asked for more pressure five times and after that it started getting awkward for me. She also did not ask me if I wanted my scalp massaged and did this at the end and left my hair quite oily. I normally agree to the scalp massage but did not want to wash my hair after. In all the massages I have had, the therapist usually asks before using oil on the scalp. Finally, I paid the upgrade fee to have my massage in the Pagoda. It was a hot day so the therapist kept the door open and then later shut it due to bugs. After I left I counted (and took some pictures which I will spare the internet) of 9 huge mosquito bites. It's been 12 hours and I am still itching! I think I will give this spa one more shot because of the cedar bath but I may skip the other services. read more

I booked the Rejuvenation package with my best friend, which includes a massage, tea service, and cedar bath. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elevated. The facilities are extremely clean, and the staff are polite, professional, and attentive. After check-in, you're guided to a locker room to change into a robe before heading to your services. We started with massages. Mine was fine but not particularly memorable, while my friend had a lymphatic massage and loved it. Afterward, we spent time in the zen garden before heading to the tea garden for tea service, both of which were beautiful and relaxing. The cedar bath was the highlight. You're buried in warm shredded cedar infused with enzymes that generate heat naturally, creating a deeply relaxing experience. The session lasts about 15-20 minutes, followed by a rinse-off and shower in the same room. Overall, this was a really nice experience, though definitely a splurge. After tipping 20%, our total came out to $780. Of all the services, the cedar bath felt the most worth it since it's such a unique experience. One thing to note: I wasn't able to reach the spa by phone and had to communicate via email, so plan ahead if you need to make changes. read more

We spent a relaxing afternoon at Osmosis Day Spa and I can't wait to plan next visit here. We had a nice massage followed by a Cedar enzyme Bath. Staff here was so kind and friendly. I loved how everything was explained so nicely. The meditation garden and walk was peaceful too. Definitely a must visit place! read more

I am a newbie when it comes to massages. I am very ticklish and had one previous experience in a different country where I couldn't stop tending up and laughing. So that wasn't as enjoyable. This massage was much better. When we first got there it was already a soothing environment.we were provided sandals, and we got to check out the meditation garden. For what it is, I'm surprised at how well they use the space and be able to create a serene, calm environment. The Garden was nice and calming. They had a station at the front entrance as well as on the way to the garden where you can have some tea and a light snack of trail mix. Wife and I both chose the Osmosis-fusion massage. The provider who I had, Josh, was great! He asked checked in with me and then I told me if something doesn't work, let him know. He used a good amount of pressure, and started slowly so I can get use to it and I didn't feel tickled at all. Some parts of it did have a lot of pressure where it hurt a bit, but it felt good after. I'm pretty sure he felt me tense to here and there, but Josh was attentive to it and I think when he wanted me to request, instead of talking me, he just took deep breaths and I did it as well and try to stay loose. All in all, it was very enjoyable The tea ceremony was nice, it was a tea with peppermint and some other ingredients, mixed with some enzymes to promote better digestion. They're was a smaller garden outside of the tea room to be able to enjoy as you sip your tea. The cedar bath was great. I had one experience before, but I enjoyed this one better because it also had a view of another garden. The lady who took care of us was attentive as well. The only complaint was there was a fly going around that got kind of annoying, but other then that, the cedar bath was great. All in all, a great experience for me that open my eyes to massages being something I can actually experience. read more

I have been going to Osmosis Spa for about 20 years since I first moved to the Bay Area. It is one of the most unique spas I've ever been to and I feel like I've been to many spas. I come in about once a year to do their signature cedar enzyme bath and either get a massage or a facial. The cedar enzyme bath is what makes the place super unique as it is not done almost anywhere else in the whole country. When you arrive at Osmosis you immediately feel a sense of calm. As a guest, you have access to their meditation garden in the back. I always try to arrive early to go to the garden before my services. Next, they do a tea ceremony as part of the bath experience. The tea is mixed with enzymes that always make my stomach feel happy. I want to give a shoutout in particular to Samundra, who is a wonderful attendant. When the bath is ready you get into what is essentially a bath of fermented, warm sawdust. At first, it may be kind of weird, but you get used to it. It heats you up as you lay there. The attendant will bring you water and put cold, wet towels on your head. After you're done (20 minutes) you need to get all the cedar off of you with an exfoliating glove then take a shower. Your skin feels amazing and you feel so relaxed. I had a facial on my last visit and it was a wonderful facial that made my skin feels amazing so hydrated. My skin was glowing when I looked in the mirror. There are so many things to love about Osmosis. Come and check it out! read more

Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary - Meditation garden - Massage Near Me - Freestone, California

Everything about this place is amazing! First of all this is not a modern chic style spa resort. So don't expect that you'll be disappointed. This is a very beautiful place that has a Japanese type touch to its style but is very down to earth. The Japanese garden is very pretty. There is plenty of places to relax before, after and in between services that are very relaxing. The place is accommodating with lovely teas, cocktail mix nuts for snacking, fruit infused waters, and fresh water in areas too. I had the Ultimate Spa Experience Package, it was for my weekend getaway with my daughter, and worth every penny! Top 5 facial and massage that I've ever had and I've had them in places like Finland, really all over Europe in various countries, lots to compare to. Trust me they are amazing ! The package came with the tea experience too that is where you start before the epic enzyme cedar bath. The tea experience is really so nice, and my only complaint is that the Koi pond needs some attention because there should be an algae eating fish or a filter system in the pond. I'm no expert but it seemed lacking for the koi fish somehow. Otherwise very enjoyable. The Cedar Enzyme bath is wayyyy better than the mud bath experience in my opinion. I liked the mud bath experience I had previously and I've done a couple but to me this is more relaxing. We had a nice little lunch in between the services and it was a little short in my opinion it didn't give us enough time to really enjoy the garden areas or the hammocks, so if you want to book the ultimate package go early like 40+ minutes early, maybe more to enjoy the outside first. Don't get distracted by the gift shop like I did, do that after everything. Definitely don't go hungry into the Ultimate package experience either you'll be famished by lunch time. It's just more comfortable to have eaten something before. So if you can swing it do the Ultimate package, I had never slept better, that night I slept like a baby, best nights rest ever ! I will be coming back, absolutely wonderful experience! read more

Came here for a day trip and it was awesome! Good: - The cedar enzyme bath is super unique - you get buried in this warm dirt and sit there and really start heating up - it's nice since the staff feed you water so you can stay in there longer and help clean off the sweat from your head - The place has a beautiful meditation garden and it was super empty at 9 am so we were the only ones in there - The staff are really nice and helped us get started with our service and explained a lot Bad: - The place is pretty small and out of the way so hard to come again! Overall enjoyed this experience and it was calming! read more

I went to Osmosis for the first time last night with a friend. I booked a 7:30 pm reservation for a 2-person cedar enzyme bath at 9:00 am the morning of (a Sunday). Kelly helped me on the phone & was incredibly helpful, friendly & kind. I recommend calling in if you can - the web portal is okay but lost our reservation from the night before, likely because we tried to book an unavailable service. Before going, we visited Russian River Brewery in Windsor. I recommend a healthy but hearty meal beforehand, and you're probably better off on a day you don't drink wine (I say, as someone who did). We arrived about 10 minutes before our start & were immediately on our way into our dressing rooms to don plush green robes. There are lockers with keys available to safely store belongings during the bath service. If you're comfortable, I recommend leaving all of your clothes behind to make the most of the experience. We were seated in a tea room overlooking a beautiful garden, and served an enzyme tea (peppermint) - it was relaxing to center in the tea room before heading into the bath. We were guided to a small room with a large pit of sawdust in it. The entire place smells of this fermenting enzyme mix, and it can be a bit intense if you're not expecting it. I stepped outside as my partner got undressed and into the dust. I then entered & got in. We kept our towels on and removed them once we were buried - I don't recommend doing this, because you'll want these towels when you shower after. We were in the bath for 20 minutes, with our attendant coming in every 5 minutes to put cold washcloths on our heads. I politely declined water; I don't recommend doing that - you're going to want to hydrate throughout the experience, especially if saunas have an impact on you. It was also recommended that I cover my long hair with a net, which I'm grateful I did. I loved the experience of the bath, and tried to stay as submerged as possible. I could feel my pulse throughout my body, and my face was sweating. When we got out, they gave us special silicone oven mitts to scrape off all the sawdust with on a patio. Afterwards, a shower with very nice soaps is provided, then I went back to my dressing room & changed before tipping my attendant and leaving. The entire experience takes a bit over an hour, and is worth every penny. A fantastic choice if you're looking for a uniquely Sonoma experience. read more

I had the hour and a half swedish massage. It was great. It was my second time after after 8 years. A beautiful experience.

Osmosis is tucked away in the adorable little town of Freestone--home to Wild Flour Bakery (a must for bread and scones!) and a cute shop with jewelry, leather goods, and art. It's about a 20-minute drive from both Sebastopol and Bodega Bay, making it the perfect addition to a weekend away or a peaceful day trip. We booked the Warmth of Love for Two, which included a Cedar Enzyme Bath for two, followed by transformative 70-minute Swedish-Esalen massages in a couple's room. The whole experience was just under three hours and felt incredibly intentional and restorative. The flow of the visit was well thought out: Locker Room: You start by changing into robes and are provided lockers for all your stuff. We had the space to ourselves and were told we could lock the doors, so the privacy was nice. Tea Service: Our attendant then led us to an indoor/outdoor zen-style room to enjoy tea while she prepped the cedar bath. Cedar Enzyme Bath: I wasn't sure what to expect, since I've tried mud baths before and didn't love them--but this was completely different! The staff creates two cozy "nests" in the warm cedar. You lie down, cover yourself lightly (you're naked so they exit the room for this portion and then return), they cover the rest, and even carve out a little pillow space. (Ladies, they provide a hair net--trust me, use it, it makes clean-up easier!) It gets hot, but they cool you with a refreshing towel for your forehead and bring water with a straw while you're covered. I also kept my hands and feet out for extra breathability. After about 20-30 minutes, you rinse off in a private shower nearby. It took a little work to get fully de-cedared, but my body felt so relaxed afterwards--perfect prep for the massage. Massage: My therapist checked in often about pressure and focused exactly where I asked. My partner and I both left feeling grounded and renewed. Afterward, you return to the locker room to change and check out. Tipping is easy--cash or card. Don't forget you're tipping your cedar bath attendant plus your 2 massage therapists for this package. There's also a small gift shop in the reception area. The appointment process isn't online, so it's bit clunky, you fill out a form then they email you back an option then you confirm, not instant but it doesn't take too long. Don't miss the Zen Garden! It's a peaceful, beautifully landscaped space where you can wander quietly and extend the calm. Parking is simple with their private lot. All in all, Osmosis offers a unique, deeply restorative experience you won't find elsewhere. The Cedar Enzyme Bath alone was worth it--but paired with the massage, tea, and garden, it's an unforgettable splurge that's worth it. read more

I had a facial service here recently which was very nice and relaxing. The property was tranquil and clean. I love that they had a tea station outside that you could help yourself to. My reason for a decrease in star was that when I checked in they didn't offer a locker or robe, maybe they only do that for certain treatments? And there was no discussion of how to walk the grounds after your service, almost felt like they wanted me to leave after the service. And there is just something about walking around in your street clothes after a spa treatment trying to meditate that just isn't as comfortable. read more

For the record, I am a trained, experienced, certified massage therapist (holistic CMT.) So I have different opinions than some people might. This is a place like no other I have been to. A truly unique experience. I love it and I can't wait to go back. The Cedar enzyme bath is hands down something I suggest everyone try at least once. The bath was so good I don't remember the massage. I don't remember it so it must have been good enough, I didn't have anything negative to say about it. Sometimes good enough is perfect. The garden is a great place to chill. Next time I go. I want to plan it out better, allow more time to relax after the massage in the garden and just stare at the sky. read more

The enzymatic cedar bath was wonderful! I always feel warm and safe, like a seed being planted. Sam my attendant was so kind and patient. She explained every part of the process and was a pleasure to talk to. I was a little sad that the sound therapy and the hammock chairs were both out of order (again). This was my second visit and those were both out of order last time too. As usual, the ground were immacualte, peaceful, and beautiful. read more

Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. I went for a couples massage and had such a great time. The place so so relaxing. We were treated so well by the staff as everyone was so attentive. We really enjoyed the cedar enzyme bath and our massages. This place is so so so clean and detail oriented. Our experience was over too quickly. Would recommend to anyone. read more

I went here during my visit to Napa Valley for my birthday weekend and everything was decent until the end. Let me explain... I booked the Cedar Bath and Massage appointment. When booking this, you have to submit a request for booking and they send you times available. This was went without a hitch and I was able to book my appointment. But it would be nice if this could just be booked online directly like their other appointments. After booking, they send over forms to complete as well as well as an email with policies. Great. Still all good! Upon arrival, there was enough parking for me to choose from and enter the facility. I was instantly greeted and taken to the changing room to get ready for my treatment. Also, they give you a watch you can wear in the bath and massage that helps you lock and unlock your locker. After getting ready and before starting my treatment, I went to a tea room that overlooked a garden which was so nice and peaceful. The tea was delicious as well. I started my treatment with the cedar bath. That felt so good to my shins that had been in pain for weeks. And the bath attendant was great with check ins and providing water. But it's definitely a journey to get all those cedar chips washed off afterwards lol. Next, I went to my massage. My massage was decent and needed. But this was the first time someone just started massaging my scalp without asking. I didn't like that after touching my feet that had to be on the shower floor as there were no shoes to wear in there. It would be great to ask before digging in if that is warranted. But what was really disappointing is there wasn't any pre communication that American Express was not accepted. I had to find a card that wasn't American Express to use. I booked the appointment knowing I was going to use my company's benefit where I must use the corporate American Express card in order to receive it. Additionally, I don't know what they would've done if I had not brought another form of payment. Communicating payment methods is crucial and it was disappointing and ruined the experience (as my blood pressure raised and I left with disappointment and a jacked up budget). I would not return based on that. If you do not have American Express, still make sure you confirm your payment is accepted and there are no additional fees. read more

Cedar enzyme bath experience was unique and muscles relaxed. Time in garden afterwards left us feeling calm and good. But price is too high. Time w attendant for tea and cedar bath is 30 minutes.

A true gem. An absolute must if you're in the Northern California area. The staff is so, so wonderful and calming. The cedar bath is unlike anything I've ever experienced... so calming.

This a magical place for transformation and healing. I strongly recommend spending the whole day. The Ultimate Package is worth it. Ruby at the front desk is a star. Taylor for the Cedar Bath was so informative and caring. I bought the Enzyme Tea to take home because I couldn't get enough. The Vibro-Accoustic chair provided the best meditation I've had in months, and left me feeling invigorated and grounded. Saved the best massage for last! Emma does amazing deep tissue and Gardner gives the best relaxing Swedish with perfect pressure. I'm totally hooked. I can't give this spa enough stars. The gorgeous gardens and thoughtful touches are epic! read more

My friend and I came for the transformation package which included the cedar enzyme bath and a massage. The bath was a good experience, but would I drive two hours out of the city for this again? No. The massage was good, but I've also had better in the city. For the price, the amenities were lacking. Things we noticed that surprised us: 1) The locker rooms were co-ed, 2) if multiple parties were using the same locker room, this could lead to people being locked out while someone was changing, 3) outside of the meditation garden, there was not a lot of seating options within the main building, so not a lot of space to wait for a companion getting a service or (in my case) taking a shower, 4) there is only one shower for all the guests to use (there is a separate one specifically for the cedar bath but we were not told that we could use this after our massage). So all in all, quite disappointed in the amenities. The one thing that really irked me and my friend and bothered us long after we left was the lack of transparency in whether a service charge was included in the price of the treatment package. I had asked on checkout and the individual checking us out said verbatim 'no we don't include service fees in any of our treatments' and my interpretation of her tone was that it was expected to leave gratuity. Either she is incorrect or their website is incorrect because their website clearly states a service fee is included but gratuity encouraged. I did leave an additional tip, but in my prior experiences, a service charge is sufficient as tip, although the customer always has the option to give more in addition for an exemplary job done. I would have appreciated the transparency in pricing. read more

It definitely wasn't inexpensive but it was sooooo worth it. We had an amazing three hours we'll never forget! read more

Paradise, right outside of the Napa area! This is truly a hidden gem - we've been researching unique things to do here for years now and just this year stumbled across Osmosis. And I'm so glad we did! Here's an overview of what you can experience here: TEA ROOM: Each experience starts with enzyme tea in a private tea room for your group/pair/yourself. It has a lovely view of the mini Japanese garden and some comfy seating. The staff member comes in to describe the cedar bath and share its benefits, and see if you have questions. CEDAR BATH: This is the ONLY one of its kind in North America! An ancient Japanese tradition, ground cedar chips and rice bran create this "bath" that gets up to 140 degrees of infrared heat and is great for multiple health affects! You only stay in for ~25 minutes, with the staff member switching out your cold compress on your forehead and bringing water every 5 minutes. It's not solid but not liquid - kind of like a mud bath - or a warm weighted blanket! You can opt to go in nude or in a swimsuit. After the "bath", you scrub off outside and go to the shower room. ZEN GARDEN: Before or after your treatment, highly recommend taking time to walk around their zen gardens! Stunning, well-maintained gardens that are so peaceful. Sit and meditate under the structure or walk and enjoy the views. SOUNDSCAPE HAMMOCKS: We purchased this add-on for afterwards but it was raining, so they moved us into the outdoor massage tent. With blankets and heaters + zero gravity chairs, it was perfect! They set you up with a binaural sound playlist as you meditate and listen for 30 minutes. We loved this opportunity to cool down after. MORE: They also offer massages, facials, and other treatment packages - we didn't do them this time but would be a great add. PRICE: Price is $140/pp, with additional people in your party getting a discount. It's not cheap, but if you make a day out of it with the soundscape meditation and time in the zen garden, we found it fit its price tag! read more

Our friend invited us to visit Osmosis, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. The staff was friendly, creating a relaxed atmosphere and vibe. We were greeted by a table full of food, followed by wine tastings, all in a very laid-back setting. Next, we enjoyed a soothing foot bath, and then we had time to explore the stunning garden--truly a sight to behold. Afterward, we proceeded to our massage session. Robert, our masseur, was not only friendly but also extremely professional. Without me mentioning it, he intuitively identified the problematic areas of my body that sometimes experience pain. I definitely plan to return! read more

This was my second visit to Osmosis and most definitely not my last! From the minute one walks in, it's like stepping into a sanctuary. The stress melts away and bliss emerges. We splurged and did a bath and deep tissue massage. The cedar enzyme bath has refreshed and recharged me for days. I feel great still. The massage was truly transformative. The pressure and pacing were on point. After all that, we strolled through the meditation garden. The grounds here are gorgeous. We saw some hammocks off to the side in a sound healing garden that looked inviting. Next visit I'm interested in getting a facial as well as revisiting past treatments. The staff, the ambience, grounds, and services are first rate. Overall superb spa experience in a charming country setting. read more

We love coming here. Very zen in everything they do. The surroundings, service and quality of massage therapists is excellent.

Serene. Calming. So many services offered. I've done facials, massages out in a hut and massages in the main building. The staff are incredible, knowledgeable and so kind. The massage tables are heated so if you run hot like me, just ask them to turn it off. They always have tea, water and a lite snack available while waiting. Get there early and go to the gardens. Simply beautiful. Booking online is easy and you can check all your preferences. read more

Great spa experience. The cedar bath is a must try. Relaxing massage. Just missing the Sauna and Steam options.

A group of friends and I came here for a relaxing girls trip, and I was ABSOLUTLEY relaxed after. I ordered the rejuvenation package. I forgot my swimsuit and had no extra underwear, but luckily the staff offer disposable underwear. If you are going here with friends, just FYI you will be in the same room and in the same tub for the cedar bath. The cedar bath was interesting, it is like a nice, hot full body compression with a view of a zen garden. The massage I got from Consuela was relaxing and she was very attentive and checked in on the pressure level frequently. Afterwards we walked around the meditation garden and enjoyed the sunny weather. The package was advertised to be 2.5 hours, however we stayed 3.5 hours, and we were HUNGRY after the spa. I believe there was somehow a mix up of the start time of our massages as, we had to wait longer than the usual "10 minutes" the staff member told us we would have to wait. However, I would still highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing experience. read more

Good thing I don't live closer, else I'd be dead ass broke! This is not a typical spa experience with steam rooms, dry sauna, and hot tubs. Instead, the facility features a Japanese garden, fountains, and starts guests off with an enzyme tea beverage and the unparalleled experience of a cedar enzyme bath, in which guests are immersed in a tub of cedar shavings, rice bran, and enzymes. The cedar enzyme bath is warm (to hot) & dry -- no mud bath mess -- and invigorating. Your heart rate elevates, toxins leach through the skin, the cedar scent clears sinuses and offers relaxation. Heat can be adjusted by bath attendant, and several times during your 30-minute treatment you'll be checked on, and offered water or cold towels while you bake and exfoliate. Enjoy the warmth, and the baby butt-like quality of your skin when done. Stressed out, tired, treated myself to a lymphatic massage with cedar bath package. I have some experience with dry brushing, but there's nothing like a professional treatment with instruction how to achieve these results at home. Lymphatic massage guests leave with a dry brush to use at home and a sample of essential oils. Sublime. Can't wait to go again and spend more time in the gardens. read more

I have been coming here for many years - relaxing vibe, I love the cedar baths (the hotter the better), massage therapists, meditation garden, facials and more. last year I took the leap and became a member. Self care is so important and quite honestly I am not always the best at making it a priority. Membership means I am much more consistent in taking some quality me time. For a set monthly fee, you get a service credit at a discounted rate to use for any standard service. You can combine credits as well so I go every other month for a cedar bath and a massage. It's a drive for me to get there, but I make it part of my distressing and unhooking from life - play some tunes and enjoy the views on the drive. read more

I've been to Osmosis a few times and for varying things: massage, facials, and now a 'locals night' experience. If it's possible for a place to be both grounded and whimsical, this is it. Lovely, serene gardens and skillful professionals. Kinda funky building, but lends to the unpretentious atmosphere. I had the best facial of my life and at the time it was the Phyt's line they utilized. Locals night was jam packed but fun with snacks and a hand pan musician, and Kate's massage absolutely made my whole week! Can't wait to come back! read more

Beautiful grounds and great service. On the pricey side so it's a splurge but a nice treat.

What a vibe. Definitely a retreat from the city, osmosis day spa offers an experience that transport you japan. Osmosis is known for their cedar enzyme baths. I can't fully explain how peaceful, relaxing, and invigorating this experience can be. You start off in a serene space--drinking relaxing tea. Then you're taking to this cedar bath that essentially help stimulate the toxins out of your body. We opted to do that bath and to partake in a full body massage after--which was excellent. In between, you can and must, enjoy the beautiful landscape in their pagada area. A place for meditation and to truly escape the hustle and bustle of the city life. Would 100% recommend. Of course--the price is a bit hefty, but see it as a treat that you deserve ! read more

Where do i start.. The spa itself is a little sanctuary in the countryside next to one of my favorite bakeries. It's a peaceful setting and has quite lovely grounds. When we arrived, our reservation was nowhere to be found. Given that my mom was visiting from out of town and we had come all the way out here for this treat I was quite unpleased. The manager however did an excellent job at fixing the situation. She managed to get us in for some massages, as well as offer a sound bath in hammocks outside - prior to us getting the cedar baths. We had also brought our lunch and she had her team prepare us a privatized lunch spot with (welcomed) heaters outside. Our attendant was so kind she even offered and insisted to go get my favorite bread from the bakery next door for me.. that was top notch service honestly and she did it with a warm smile. We of course had access to the zen garden as well. The sound bath was lovely, i really enjoyed it. There are blankets available for use and warm coat looking things you can have to stay warm. I wish i had taken two but anyway they were available. The zen garden is very nice and i wish i stayed there longer but the sun had disappeared a bit and i didnt venture out there again. I think the moral of the story here is: consider the season when you book the spa if you want to enjoy the outdoor space. I appreciated that they had large robes - My massage was quite literally one of the best massages i have ever had - and ive had many. It was the manager herself whom did the massage and i think she did a fantastic job and made it longer due to the issue we had encountered. She definitely went all out to make me happy. Prior to the cedar bath we had an enzyme tea in a beautiful room overlooking a japanese garden. The cedar bath.. well its a huge pot of cedar that you get covered with. I had been told we would have individual rooms but this was not the case. Mom and i were in the same "bath". What was awkward for me is that in order to get covered by the cedar, the bath attendant has to come and cover your naked body - something else i wasn't expecting especially that i had specifically asked how this works when making the resa. Now... for a spa that charges $290 + for massage/bath, i have to say that i would expect a cleaner area. What i mean by that is: 1) there were no seat covers in the toilet.... 2) you could SEE the spots on the counter in the locker room as well as on the lockers themselves 3) some of the robes had hair on them which makes me wonder if they clean them after every use... 4) the carpet on the stairs was outdated and so was the locker room furniture - they def need a revamp. Maybe most people overlook these things but mom and i both noticed. Now... i dont know if this is correlated but at 5 am the next day (we left at 5pm the night before), i woke up with VIOLENT stomach cramps and i ended up throwing up 7 times that day. I could not hold down water. (I had NO symptoms before). I looked up the enzymes tea we had before the cedar bath and it does say that on RARE occasions this can happen. I thought i was going to die. I had intense cramps, mild hallucinations, fever, chills, body aches and most of all three up 7 times in one day.. today i am still recovering. The reason I mention this is because nowhere on any of the informative papers where you have the enzymes tea is this possibility outlined ... had i known i would have thought twice prior to proceeding. I would not wish this effect on my enemy. I think anyone who might feel "weaker" should avoid this at all costs. On the other hand, my mom was perfectly fine. read more

I scheduled for three people in advance online. Closer to time we were texted and emailed a confirmation. An intake email followed but just for me as I hadn't input the others' emails. The other two had to fill out the form once we arrived. We were the first people there at 8:50am for our 9am appointments so it was easy to park. There was a water and snack station in front as you entered. There were two ladies behind the counter and we were checked in and given instructions on how to use the lockers and brought rubber slippers according to our shoe sizes. We were all in one fitting room and given black disposable underwear. There were thick robes hung up on the hooks by size. The white robes didn't have pockets so I recommend the green if you want to keep anything with you like I did with my phone. We stored our items in our individual lockers. If you forget how to use the locks, there are framed instructions on the counter. There was a toilet around the corner and upstairs. After changing, we went straight across to a small tea room where our bath assistant Utah brought us mint tea with enzymes in heavy Japanese cups. She explained what would happen in the cedar bath and took pictures for us out the deck where the small tea garden was. After tea she dug holes for our bodies in the two adjoining tubs of fermented cedar. There were clean towels where your head goes and a deep hole for your butt and a shallower hole for your feet. You hang your robes on the hooks and climb the stool into your cedar pit. As you lie in a cradled position over the mounds, the attendant covers your body. I chose the less hot tub and the other two had the hotter one. If you have allergies you should avoid the cedar bath. One guest said she gets itchy with the pine needles, but she was okay in the cedar as it's mostly pulpy bark. My legs were getting itchy and I was afraid I had an allergy but turns out if you have cuts or have just shaved your skin will be sensitive. Utah put some towels under my legs and the stinging subsided by and by. We sat in the tub for 20 minutes. I felt like the brown butter and sugar start to cookie dough. Utah came in every five minutes and put cold towels on our faces and gave us water to drink from straws. Since I was in the tub that wasn't as heated, I didn't feel too hot until the last five minutes but the other two were sweating before me. One guest said she felt too constrained so it's not for the claustrophobic. Also, they said the cedar is hottest in the mornings and it is reused for each person as it's antibacterial. Once the time is over, we climb out and into the cold patio with gloves that scrape off the excess cedar that you don't want going down the drain of the shower which is the next room you walk into. The water is nice and hot and they have handheld showers, soap, shampoo, and conditioner in pump jars on the wall. There are clean towels on the rack and our robes and slippers await on the opposite wall. There are glasses of water and testers of leave in conditioner and lotion to use. For our massages we were lead upstairs to the waiting area until our individual masseuses called us in. I had Elias and he asked if I had any injuries. I did not, but I said I wanted to focus on the neck. Our 70 minute massage felt much longer, I guess because we were so relaxed from the cedar bath. I was afraid that 70 minutes would not be enough because usually I get a 90 minute massage. Elias was very firm in his pressure which I like. He started out a little bit too soft so I had to tell him to increase the pressure. I also asked him to turn off the heat on the massage table. The window was cracked open, but the room was still warm. When we reported back, all three of our massages were excellent. One guest received a card with a discount if you booked your next session today, but the rest of us did not. When we went back down the stairs, the place was getting all crowded so we were happy to have come in the morning. We went back to change in the fitting room. Remember to lock the door because a lot of people use the lockers and you don't want them walking in if you're changing. We then walked out to the meditation garden through the back door. There is a water, tea and snack trai mix station on your way. You can also see a private outdoor massage area and a hammock area as you walk to the Japanese meditation garden with Koi fish and sand spirals and meditation pillows. We had chose to get dressed because we didn't want to be cold outside but other guests had their robes and a blanket on top as they walked around. After many attempts and frustration, the desk person was finally able to figure out how I could input the card number manually and she was able to email me the receipt. She also gave us the old price which we had booked under as they have recently increase their prices. My review continues, but yelp says that it is too long now... read more
