I had a FANTASTIC massage with Aeryn. She is strong, kind and tenacious with her work. Can’t wait to go back! I feel 10 years younger.

Best massage I’ve had in a long time, if not ever! Gianluca applied the perfect amount of pressure to release tension and relax my mind and body. Easy parking and a relaxing environment, I’m so happy I found Synapse!

I request and got a great 90 minute firm pressure whole body massage from Azzaya at a very reasonable price. I look forward to my next opportunity to enjoy another.

The massage by Dustin was just what I needed, he located the problem areas and worked out the “blocks.” I would definitely return for another massage.

Had my first post-natal massage after I had my baby and it was everything I needed. I was initially nervous about my csection and other new mom issues that I thought might come up during my massage, but my massage therapist Carolyn put me at ease and answered all my questions. She gave me an amazing massage, I felt relaxed and refreshed!

From the moment I walked into their building, Synapse Massage felt like a place I could truly relax. From making an appointment to actual massage with Carolyn to follow up, every step was seamless. I love my newfound comfort place.

I've been working with Dustin for years in SF. Following him over the bridge to the east bay is well worth it. Synapse is a super calm, pleasant space to go get some body work done. Highly recommended!
