Based in Columbus, Ohio, we offer body-centered herbal cleansing experiences in collaboration with select wellness spaces throughout the state and beyond. Each experience is held in a serene, beautiful environment—where self-care becomes an intentional act of reverence.
Rooted in cultural tradition and inspired by the ancestral practice of herbal bathing, our immersive group experiences are designed to nourish the body, soothe the spirit and honor life’s transitions.
Here, you are invited to slow down—reconnect, recharge, and renew.
Hosted in intimate wellness spaces, our thoughtfully curated offerings bring the sacred essence of herbal bathing into a modern context, blending ancestral practices with intentional self-care. Through handcrafted infusions sourced from local ingredients, personal intention, and gentle care, each gathering offers space for reflection, grounding, and deep restoration.
Our unique offering originated from a deeply personal practice nearly nine years ago—born during a tender season of transition, healing, and reflection. We invite you to learn more about us and our work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please arrive with your water-safe clothing already on beneath your regular clothes—such as a swimsuit, lightweight top and shorts, or similar garments you feel comfortable cleansing in. Changing space may be limited. We also recommend bringing:
- A towel or robe to warm and dry yourself afterward
- Footwear you don’t mind getting wet—like flip-flops, sandals, or water shoes
- Comfortable clothing to layer over your wet garments after the cleanse
- A personal intention, affirmation, or prayer—either prepared ahead of time or created during the gathering
Absolutely. These gatherings are designed for both newcomers and those familiar with herbal practices. We offer a gentle, welcoming experience that allows you to move at your own pace. Everything is thoughtfully explained along the way.
Our offerings are gentle and non-invasive, but every body is different. If you’re pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition or skin sensitivity, we recommend consulting your care provider before attending. Ingredients are always shared in advance when possible, and water only cleanses are always available upon request to support individual comfort and needs. Special requests can be made at the time of booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them thoughtfully.
Each experience flows through a series of intentional moments: a warm welcome, brief introduction, guided meditation or reflection, a body-centered herbal cleanse, and closing ceremony. While the overall gathering is a shared, intimate experience, the herbal cleanse itself is offered privately—attentively provided by trained practitioners and assistants in a way that honors modesty, comfort, and personal space. These are quiet and respectful group experiences—not spa services—rooted in care, presence, and reverence.
Bath Botanica is rooted in ancestral herbal cleansing traditions and designed to support restoration of the spirit, not the pursuit of luxury. While you may feel deeply relaxed and renewed, our gatherings center personal intention, presence, and care over performance or pampering.
You can view all upcoming gatherings and reserve your cleanse directly through our [Experiences page]. Spaces are limited to preserve the intimacy and intention of each event.
Due to the intimate and limited nature of our gatherings, all reservations are final. However, if you can no longer attend, reach out—we’ll do our best to support a transfer for the same guest if space and timing allow.
