Shane worked wonders on my severe muscle spasm with massage and cupping. She is patient-focused and works with you to come up with a game plan for the appointment. Can't recommend her enough! The Peak Performance center is also very clean and well put together. read more

I can't say enough good things about my acupuncturist-Jill Seuss. She is extraordinary! I call her monthy visits my "tune-ups". She is VERY good and I ALWAYS feel better after a treament. Besides which, she is SO very nice... considerate, compassionate and personable. She truly cares about her clients read more

I would not review except I came because of the reviews, and I had two negative experiences here. Massage was really low level, and acu was awful. Hate negatively reviewing a holistic care spot, but I have to do my part for the algorithm. read more

Well...I started off looking for an acupuncturist in the OB/Point Loma who accepted my insurance, and I found Peak Performance. Then I Yelped, found these great reviews, and knew I had to come to see Danae. Danae has an awesome touch! I have so many sore spots and two previous acupuncturists have hurt me considerably while inserting needles...no pain at all with Danae. She also does a little massage with the treatment and WOW does she have strong hands and a great sense of where to put them to relieve the pain and pressure! I was so happy with my acupuncture sessions, both with Danae's abilities as a healer and with her great personality, that next week I'm going for acupuncture AND a massage. Can't wait! BTW the building is somewhat unassuming on the outside -- on the inside, the rooms are really warm & inviting. Not over-the-top, just very tastefully decorated and quite comfortable. One of the best surprises I had was that the massage table was fully heated, with soft comfy sheets, and even a bolster for under my ankles (face down) or knees (face up). All of these extra touches make a huge difference in being able to be fully comfortable and reeeeeelax. Thanks so much, Danae! P.S. As a bonus, this part of OB isn't so crowded...parking isn't a problem at all! read more

I've been seeing Danae for over six months now to help with the pain and inflammation from a past injury and it's made a world of difference! Before coming to Peak Performance, I would wake up with a throbbing pain in both of my knees and it would be difficult to have to get up and walk around. Danae's been able to give me a piece of mind with the proper care. I've been seeing her for acupuncture and cupping and she always incorporates a massage and heat pads leaving me feel relaxed and happy. Definitely my go-to and highly recommended! read more

I've received the best massage I've ever gotten from Tomira. I suffer from some pretty severe back pain, and with my line of work, it is important that I stay pain free. She is certified in microcurrent which is really important because it helps to reduce inflammation, and makes the benefit of the massage last much longer. She uses just the right amount of pressure, and knows exactly which parts of my back need the most work. More importantly, I feel totally comfortable with her, after just meeting her I felt like we were old friends. She is very professional, and I feel completely relaxed by the time I leave. Upon leaving, we talked about what else she can do for me to keep me in tip top shape. It amazed me how knowledgeable she is, and the range of techniques she offers. I think I'll try the hot stone massage next time. :) Seriously, if you've read this far on my review, give her a call right now. You will not be disappointed. read more

I found Danae and Peak Performance on Yelp (thank you, fellow Yelpers!). I've now gone to see her twice, and plan to go for regular treatments. She is very nice, doesn't rush through appointments as some do, and incorporates heat pads and some massage work into her acupuncture treatments, which I really appreciate. I have chronic upper back pain and migraines. The acupuncture helps relieve the tightness and prevent migraines. She accepts insurance as well as offers packages and specials so it's affordable. read more

Peak Performance Holistic Therapies provides a professional, inviting and comfortable atmosphere. And it's only one block from Sunset Cliffs. My recent visit was with Colleen for massage therapy and a brief reiki treatment. Simply put, Colleen is a professional. She has a very warm, friendly and caring personality. She's very thoughtful and asks the right questions to ensure the best experience possible. At Peak Performance, she offers both massage and reiki treatment. She is amazingly skilled at both. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her. You will be glad that you did. Her professional skills don't stop there. She also has a B.S. in Kinesiology, advises on nutrition, and is a certified yoga instructor. I've been fortunate enough to have her help/teach me in all those arenas. Her knowledge of kinetics was the major contributor to help me overcome a knee injury. One of the many things I value about her services is that they cover the entire spectrum of body, mind and spirit. So after your massage and reiki treatment at Peak Performance, join her for a yoga class at Grotto Climbing and Yoga. And if you need some nutrition advice, she'll come up with a plan for you. And that's not all. Colleen is currently working on her certification as a Ayurvedic Practitioner. It's very fitting, as Ayurveda emphasizes the unshakable connections between the body, mind, and spirit. The excellence and diversity of her skills and services, coupled with the nature of who she is, makes it a no brainer for me to continue to call on her. Thank you Peak Performance and to Colleen for a wonderful experience. 5 stars hands down! read more

I have been going to Danae for about six years for migraines. I was getting around 10 debilitating migraines a month that would leave me missing work, not able to enjoy time with friends and landed me in the hospital on a couple occasions. I tried every prescription pill the doctor would give me and finally was told there was nothing else they could do. I used to live down the street from Peak Performance and one day I got up the guts to try acupuncture with Danae. Honestly, she has saved my life. I started out going weekly and after a couple months saw the number of migraines I was having slowly decreasing. I now get acupuncture (and even some cupping) for muscle tension once every couple months and get migraines only a handful of times in a year. Acupuncture has not only helped with my migraines but is super relaxing. I have since moved to Carmel Valley and still see Danae for treatments (even if I moved to Oceanside I would still drive back to OB to see Danae). I wouldn't trust any other person to stick needles in me! (And trust me, the needles really don't hurt!) read more

My friend and I had originally wanted to go to the Hidden Spa since I had such a good experience there last time I was in Ocean Beach but unfortunately they didn't have any availabilities for the day. I think the rain drove everyone inside. So while I was driving to OB from Vista I was frantically looking up other reputable massage establishments in the OB area and Peak Performance popped up as the 2nd hit on Yelp so I gave them a call. We both made an appointment with Danae for an hour relaxation massage each and let me tell you...that was relaxing! She really takes her time working out the kinks and finishes up the massage with a relaxing head rub. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends and I look forward to coming back again soon! read more

Danae, Jill or Katarina. You can't go wrong. They take ASH - a big plus in Point Loma.

If you are looking for an amazing and healing massage, and interested in speaking with someone with a deep understanding of wellness, I would like to recommend Colleen Loiseau. She is very kind, knowledgeable about nutrition and body work. She also has a distinct ability to motivate and encourage her clients to manage the health of their bodies and minds. Her enthusiasm for self care is contagious. Lastly, Her prices are fair and she knows many styles of massage and healing techniques. read more

Danae Koolen is hands-down the best sports massage therapist my husband and I have ever gone to. Well, the best massage therapist, period! She is always in a good mood, is highly educated, and is a great listener when you describe what's bothering you. Hubby basically falls asleep during the massage. More than once he's come home and said, "I don't know what Danae did, but my..." fill in "shoulder," "hand," "knee" "...feels the best it's been in months." For me, the massage works out all the kinks plus I always learn something new health-wise, from changing up to more healthful eating to learning a way to amp my workout. read more

Had a fantastic 'head & neck' massage after a long night of rock climbing. She gives seriously REAL massages, the kind you pay for (ie, get your money's worth), the kind that people rave about... not like others who merely massage your skin! I dug the not overly new-age-y Native American flute w/ ocean waves soundscape music. The place isn't large or overly stylized, but it's cozy enough. She really seemed to taker her time, and let me take my time. When I was done, I could've gotten ticked for driving under the influence, I felt so stoned x.O Will try to make it back in again, soon I hope! read more

I suffer from bad migraines so I decided to try acupuncture. I found Peak Performance on Yelp and the reviews were so right. I love this place!! I see Danae for acupuncture and the occasional massage. She has the strongest hands ever. She knows exactly where all my knots are and how to work them out. It is so relaxing with Danae. She starts acupuncture off with a warm pack and blends massage in with the acupuncture. She is the best and she has a great personality. We always have a lot to talk about when I see her. But most of all acupuncture really does help reduce my migraines and I highly recommend Danae! read more

Thank you for the hour Shane, that was well needed and I want to let the world know how beautiful your studio is. Again thank you

Danae is amazing. If you're looking for someone with the magic hands to get down deep, Danae is person for you! However, I couldn't get a hold of them on their phone line to confirm if they accepted insurance for massages (since on here it indicates they do), so I went to the office in person to confirm they accepted insurance. I was told Danae was the only one who would accept it, so I booked my appointment the earliest I could get with her (5 days later) and provided them with a copy of my insurance card. I asked them to call me if there were any problems and I didn't hear anything. I showed up to my appointment only to find out they don't accept insurance for massages. By this point I was desperately in need of a massage and stuck with my appointment. It was amazing, but I ended up spending 4 times the amount I expected. Bottom line: they don't accept insurance for massages regardless of what their staff says. read more

I go to this wonderful local business for all kinds of services, but Danae's amazing massages and cupping are the best! I have a lot of problems with aches and pains and seeing Danae on a regular basis makes it so that I am able to actually enjoy life and be able to move around. Her therapeutic touch is nothing short of heaven sent! Danae is also very concerned about my health and takes time to encourage ways that I can improve care for my joints. She is loving and very generous with her time, following up with texts, phone calls etc. read more

I have had 2 amazing massages at Peak Performance. Jill Suess and Liz Trejo are rock stars! They helped me understand what was going on with my messed up shoulder and the therapeutic massage really helped! I brought my 2 teen daughters who received massages from Danae Koolen and Shane Albarran. They loved it! My 16yo said her back doesn't ache any more. This outfit is super clean, cozy and relaxing. What a find! read more

I have been going to Summer Shirley at Peak Performance for several years, and will never stop! The facility is inviting, clean and relaxing. Summer's room is perfectly therapeutic and an escape from the hustle bustle of life. She provides such a high quality of care for her clients and is extremely attentive to our needs. Her use of a variety of methods, including my favorite hot stones to name one, ensures that you always have a one-of-a-kind experience that surprises and delights the body, mind and spirit. All of this reflecting makes me want a massage now! Highly recommend her!! read more

I am a big proponent of preventative health maintenance. As such, I employ, Chiropractic, healthy foods, massage therapy, and of course acupuncture! I was really afraid to do this the first time; someone said to me, "Don't be stupid, stupid. With all those tattoos, this will be a walk in the park!" So after being totally peer pressured by my friend AND neighbor, I went. (side note: i looked into making an after school special about acupuncture peer pressure, it never got optioned. Oh well.) Jill Suess makes this an easy thing to do. She makes sure you're warm and snuggly as she pokes at you. hehe. Anyway, she knows her stuff and is not at all put off when you ask questions. She instead shares her knowledge willingly, that's something that keeps me coming back...good job Jill and see you tomorrow!! read more

This place is great! It was a very simple process over the phone to set up a massage for my wife as a present. She went in and I got some great feedback about what a great experience she had. I'll be in next. Thank you Shane for making her experience so great! read more

Summer has been my massage therapist since I moved to San Diego 4 years ago. She is truly a master of the art. Her technique is based on the client. She listens to what's needed, and is so experienced that she knows exactly what to do each time. I cannot recommend her work highly enough; I feel fortunate to have found her. Summer is my main health care. Her work strengthens me. read more

I feel like a million bucks after getting a cupping session and massage from Danae! My shoulders, lower back, and traps were really tight from both sitting at the computer typing all day and weight lifting. After one quick trip Danae made me feel much better and my muscles are nice and loose again. I think the next time I go back I'll try out her acupuncture treatment as I the friends who referred me to her business said its great. Highly recommend! read more

I received a Birthday gift certificate for a massage a few months ago. After looking at their "menu page", I iopted to spoil myself a little more and get a facial also. Liz performed both services and I was very pleased and impressed with her. She was very in tune to me and my needs and I walked out feeling very refreshed and relaxed. I will definitely be returning! I plan on going back with my husband so he can reap the benefits of a massage too! read more

I highly recommend Shane-When I get into see her, I always leave feeling seriously relaxed & in way better shape than I showed up in. The room is really nice, music is at a perfect level & Shane seems to sense when I do & don't want to talk. Over the many visits, she has used a variety of techniques based on what my body needs-she definitely knows how to personalize it. And lastly, she's the friendliest, down to earth person ever! read more

I have been going to Summer for at least 15 years! I would follow her anywhere. That said, Peak Performance is an excellent fit. It is clean, calm, peaceful and without any hype. Summer is strong, knowledgable, kind and humble. Essentially, everything you would look for in a massage therapist. I go on a regular basis, and her massages have helped with my rheumatoid arthritis and my general well-being. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Have had lower back pain for a long time. Physical therapy was good...Chiropractor not so great. Acupuncture with Danae worked for me. Was pain free for months for the first time! Then a motorcyclist slammed into me. Back pain returned with a vengeance. DANG. Three sessions, with more to come and I do believe this is what works for me. Danae is personable, listens, doesn't just do needles. She is fabulous, as far as I'm concerned!!! read more

I got a facial from Liz here. It was very relaxing and heavenly. I felt really relaxed in her space and by her touch. I've gotten facials where the person is really aggressive...not here. My skin felt so smooth and nice after. I've got to go back and see her soon!! read more

I have been to see Katarina 2 times for acupuncture and she amazing! I feel very safe and cared for during the sessions. Katarina really knows her stuff! I highly recommend her!!! read more

Peak Performance is outstanding in quality and service. Shane, Danae, and Jill are wonderful. I've seen Danae for acupuncture (for migraines); she has a great touch - the needles never hurt. Shane has helped me with massage, especially as I trained & recovered from a marathon race. My daughter has received massage from Danae & Jill with great results. I keep coming back because they are very good. I haven't tried the facials yet but that is on my list of things to do for sure! Thanks Peak Performance. read more

If you're looking for a quality Acupuncturist, I highly recommend Danae. I had a terrible kink in my neck and I was in pain for two weeks. After one session with Danae I was pain free. I don't know what she did, but it worked!!! She was very knowledgeable and put me at ease during our session. If your in pain, go see Danae now! read more

I've been going to Jill for acupuncture for a couple of years now and I can't say enough good things. She will do whatever it takes to make you comfortable. She knows I like to be warm, so she will heat up the massage table ahead of my arrival and will use the space blanket to keep me cozy during the treatment. She also will give a mini massage and if you want, will do cupping on you. I love how her treatments make me feel and I'm walking on clouds afterwards. I highly recommend her. read more

After running my first Spartan race my muscles were sore and I needed some help! Danae was able to fit me in to her schedule the same day. After just one session with her I feel amazing! I highly recommend her and will be booking my next appointment for immediately following my next race! read more

Jill is an amazingly skilled acupuncturist. I have been a client of hers off and on for over 20 years. I definitely would recommend her. She is intuitive, compassionate, and professional. I recently had major surgery and came to Jill for some acupuncture treatments in addition to physical therapy and to aid in my healing from surgery. It's pretty remarkable what she can do so give her a call today! read more

Thumbs up! Mention the internet discount and get 10% off first visit. I went in for a pulled calf muscle and Mike was excellent at working out the knots in the muscle. Do recommend for sports related injury. read more

I've been going to Liz for 5 years for facials and spray tanning. Her facials are amazing! The products she uses work great with my sensitive skin and I am always very relaxing during and after a facial from Liz. The spray tan products she uses are wonderful as well. I have tried a few different shades and they are all never too orange and they smell great. The spray tan lasts almost 2 weeks without looking weird around my neck, knees and elbows. Lastly, Liz charges great prices! I do not go to anyone else for facials or spray tans!!! I highly suggest going to her for any of your cosmetic needs :) read more

For the past 20 years I have been going to Danae for massage. She has the most amazing ability to turn a massage into a complete body adjustment. She can go as deep as you can handle and always seems to find the "problem spots". She also offers acupuncture. I was sceptical that it really worked, but after a skiing accident, the releif from the pain was measurable after my first treatment. The prices are not over inflated like some spas and the business is clean and relaxing. I have experienced many massages all over the world and by far, Danae is the best. I am afraid to try again while I am traveling because most of the time I am disappointed. I highly recommend this business and Danae's massage to the biggest critic... You will not be disappointed. read more

If I could give this place a 10 star review I would. Have been having a lot of stress lately and by the time I left, I was SO relaxed. I have been to other places and I've ALWAYS been disappointed by the service. I will NEVER go any place ever again. This is truly the best of the best!!!!!! read more

I want to start off by saying that I've been to dozens of massage therapists in my life. I have had neck issues from a car accident a few years ago, so I see massage therapists and chiros regularly. Colleen at Peak Performance is the best massage therapist I've ever had! The space is beautiful, right down the street from sunset cliffs in OB! Right off the bat, the sea breeze gives this space an extra charm. Being an active person herself, she knows exactly what trigger points will help release sore muscles, and has in-depth knowledge of body mechanics. She has a very therapeutic and calming touch! I felt like my body was weightless when I left, both mentally and physically refreshed! Thank you Colleen! read more
