about us
Wellbeing solutions, rooted in science, technology and innovative design. Based on medical expertise and lived experience.
our story
In 2024, our founder Jenny Halseid's mental health was so low she could not leave her flat. She could not afford therapy, so she tried wellness apps.
She found expensive subscriptions, claims built on pseudoscience, and personal data tracked and sold.
So she learnt to code and built the app she needed: free, private and based on science. synappro has since grown into workshops, music and displays.

synappro = synapses + progress
our name
synappro is named in honour of neuroplasticity: the brain's ability to rewire itself in response to knowledge, habit and experience.
synap(ses)
The junctions between neurons, where one nerve cell passes a signal to the next. Thought, memory, movement, breathing and sleep all depend on signals crossing synapses.
pro(gress)
Repeat an action and new synapses form while existing ones strengthen. With the right knowledge and consistent practice, we can reshape how we think, feel and respond.
Understanding the science of your own mind and body is what motivates lasting change. That knowledge, turned into small daily habits, is what builds a life with more peace and energy.
