Osmosis Spa & Enzyme Baths (Freestone)

Sonoma Valley

209 Bohemian Highway
Freestone CA
P: 707.823.8231  

Located on five acres in the quaint Sonoma town of Freestone only about 45 minutes from Mill Valley, Osmosis is the only day spa in the U.S. that offers the Enzyme Bath, a rejuvenating heat treatment from Japan. With a contemplative tea garden, a full range of massage and facial services, and an interesting little spa boutique, Osmosis is a great place to get away from it all. While there, check out the little bakery in Freestone which is superb.
