Altered States Of Science

Cynthia has been integral in the latter stages of healing for a traumatic hip injury I sustained. She is knowledgeable and truly engaged in the healing process. I generally dislike massages because I don’t like people I don’t know touching me, but Cynthia’s skill and professionalism instantly put me at ease. Highly recommend!

Cynthia is a gifted healer with a dedication to the human body that is hard to come by in an area with so many choices for massage work. She is nurturing and open. Her skills as a therapist unparalleled. I feel better following one her massages and more aware of how to avoid injury moving forward. Thank you Cynthia!

Cynthia definitely does have the gift of soothing touch and put me into an «altered state» during my massage. I nearly fell asleep and that rarely happens to me. She works her magic, for sure. She asked me questions and focused on my areas of need. Go early to find street parking in Piedmont! Thanks, Cynthia!

Cynthia gives an amazing massage. She responds to your body so she never uses pressure that is too hard or too soft. I highly recommend her work.

After getting a massage from Cynthia I felt longer and leaner. I’m serious, my neck felt like it was longer. I am looking forward to booking my next appointment!

Amazing work. after a ski accident i had unbearable pain shooting over my right shoulder and up my kneck, made my eye water. After one session it was totally fixed. Cynthia is the bodyworker to go to for fixing. She is a good listener and professional and warm. She has also worked my lower back on several occassions, my problem area, and I always feel more flexible and and the entire area relaxed after her sessions. I recommend her highly.

this review is a long time coming, as i have been a client of Cynthia’s for nearly ten years now.
as an ultra-​runner, i truly appreciate the knowledge, insight and flat out mad-​skills that she brings to each and every one of my appointments. i consider her massages a crucial part of my training, both before races and with post-​race recovery. without hesitation i would assign her five stars.

Cynthia is truly a massage goddess! I have been going to her every other week for more than 10 years. Every once in a while, I cheat on her for some reason or another, but always go back. There’s no one that can compare. She is extremely professional in all ways, and she is so knowledgable and in tune with muscles and how they work. I highly recommend Cynthia whether you want a relaxing massage, a deep-​tissue massage or even a lymphatic massage… she can do it all. I believe I’ve prevented many of the problems that plagued me in the past by seeing her regularly.

Cynthia is Amazing! I’ve been fortunate enough to have had massage therapy by many therapists across the country for the last twenty five years and went to Cynthia believing that I’d experienced it all. Ha! Cynthia is a true professional with a deep passion for her craft.
Her passion and years of experience make you feel well taken care of. The knowledge that she will put your injured and or over-​worked body back into shape sets your mind at ease as she heals your pain.
Even though she is already an incredible healer with years of experience, her dedication compels her to endlessly seek out more knowledge with continued education in all areas of her craft and incorporate them into her practice.
If you think you’ve experienced all there is in getting a massage, then call Cynthia and look forward to a deep healing by a true professional.

Old athletic injuries and 8 hours a day staring at a computer screen do not make for a happy body. Enter Cynthia, an amazing massage therapist who enables me to keep moving without pain. I appreciate her focus and expertise and her ability to find and remedy problem spots in my body. I firmly believe that she is the reason that I haven’t had a recurrence of horrible lower back pain in three years, which is how long Cynthia’s been my massage therapist.
Cynthia is a consummate professional not only in terms of her massage ability but also in communication. She has responded promptly to every message I’ve sent via email or phone. She also sends out an e-​newsletter with useful exercises and health tips.
So, if your body is aching and you’re thinking about getting a massage, call or email Cynthia now. You won’t regret it.

Cynthia does excellent work. Absolutely top notch. I am a competitive cyclist, and started using her half way through last season. The improvement was immediate. She understands the issues — the impacts of bike racing, as well as the racer’s schedule, periodization and needs — helping with recovery from the ongoing stresses in-​season to be ready for racing on the weekend — and with deeper recovery and healing during the off-​season. And you can’t beat her fair rate for a generous hour.

i don’t what i would do without cynthia.
every time my body isn’t functioning as it should be, i go in and come out more functional! she automatically knows what parts of my body to focus on and has infinite tricks to get them back to the way they should be. not only that, but she can sometimes show me stretches and exercises to do on my own that help keep everything working a-​ok during the time between massages.
i have been getting massages from cynthia since 2006 (5 years now!) and she has been through a lot with me: pinched nerves, sore hips, two car accidents, and the usual neck/​shoulder issues from sitting in front of a computer too long. cynthia is so knowledgeable about anatomy & physiology, i think of her more as my physical therapist than my massage therapist.
if you want to feel great in your body, go see cynthia!

I am an athlete and chose to visit Cynthia for her particular insight into just what muscle groups to target, not only for relaxation and the occasional injury but to help increase range of motion and strengthen. She’s also great at targeting the neck, shoulder, and forearm muscles that get stressed and overused during the long hours at a computer. I am always so grateful to walk in and let her hands release whatever tension my body holds. It’s, as one would hope for a massage, truly relaxing.
The tucked away location off Piedmont is in a peaceful courtyard with plentiful (free!) parking on the side streets, and her website directions on where to go and where to park are spot on. The rates are great, especially for this area. I’ve paid the same for a mediocre message from a newbie elsewhere. She is very quick to reply, and excellent about scheduling last minute massages if needed. I’ve been visiting her for about 8 months and am very pleased.

I can’t say too much, having only been here once, but I appreciate a place where I can make an appointment by e-​mail. Cynthia got me an appointment quickly, and proceeded to work out a horrible knot in my lower back. I also managed to get an appointment at 7:30 pm, which is great for beating traffic. Parking was hard to find, and you need to make sure to get directions from her for how to find the actual room, given that it’s sort of a maze in the back of the building, but once you’re there, it’s worth it!
