Synapse Massage & Bodywork

I had a massage with Rosy and she was very kind and welcoming from start to finish. She uses a vocal-guided style during parts of the massage, which I initially found unique, but it actually became very calming and almost hypnotic. At one point I was so relaxed that I wasn’t even sure if I had fallen asleep or if I was just in a deep state of peace. The massage itself was great and the whole experience was incredibly relaxing. Rosy has a very calming presence and voice. I could honestly see her doing hypnosis as well.

I’ve had too many amazing massages here to count! The space is warm, inviting and very relaxing, and all of the massage therapists I’ve tried have been outstanding. I have a number of chronic pain issues and I always leave feeling much better in my body than when I arrived. I highly recommend Synapse - your body will thank you for having bodywork there!

I’ve gone to Synapse a few times now, while heavily pregnant and postpartum and I will never go anywhere else. I’ve always had Anna Cousin as my massage therapist and she is absolutely incredible. The first time I saw her, I sobbed uncontrollably on her table; she released so many things I’d been holding in my body and I felt SO SAFE and heard and taken care of. Truly truly incredible experience. I cannot recommend her enough.

The only two therapists I will see at Synapse are Anna Seva and Anna Cousins. Both are very strong and great for deep tissue massages. They are both great at releasing tight chronic knots and tension.

Just wow! Zoe was truly amazing, her presence, energy, philosophy and practice is 100% focused on supporting you as a patient. She is amazing.

I was gifted a massage at Synapse and had the joy of a 90-minute fully body massage with Becky. I asked her to focus on my neck, shoulders and hips, and I am still feeling the benefits of that 2 weeks later. It was a lovely space (music lightly playing in the background, lights dimmed, room the right temperature), and I was comfortable the entire time. The massage itself did wonders for my mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I cannot wait to return and get another one!

While on a business trip to the Oakland area, I decided to visit Synapse Massage and Body Works, and it exceeded all my expectations. The facility was immaculate, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. I opted for the 90-minute massage and was thoroughly pleased with the experience. I felt an immediate improvement, and the next morning I woke up feeling rejuvenated. I highly recommend this place to both locals and visitors; you won't be disappointed. In fact, I'm planning to return before heading back to New York. Thank you so much!
