Peak Performance Holistic Therapies

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.

I found this place because of Unilocal review for Liz Trejo. I have chronic neck and back pain and went for deep tissue massage. I have gotten dozens of massages but she is the best. She knows more than just basic massage, is very knowledgable about how to treat and work on certain areas. She also does great facials and waxing! I have been going here for almost 2 years now. Thanks Unilocal reviewers, for helping me find it!

I love massages, I have been getting them regularly since 1997 and was even a massage therapist in the past as well– so I am quite picky! I had a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ massage with Danae. She focused on my problem areas– not too deep, not too light– just right! I have so far only tried a massage with Danae, but looks like their other services have rated well too. 5 STARS FOR SURE and I will return.

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!!!

Thank you Shane! I just received an amazing massage from Shane. I cannot say enough good things. I’ve been having some neck and back pain, feeling miserable and she came to save the day. I cannot recommend her enough. xo

Our entire family enjoys massages by Shane and we highly recommend her! She listens to your needs and customizes your massage just for you. And she remembers what your preferences and is she is very flexible with her schedule. Shane doesn’t chat a lot and makes the whole experience amazing. She is the consummate professional Shane is the best!

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!

I have to say Danaes Knowledge doesnt compare to the chain places. She knows her stuff. I have come in with pain so bad I couldnt take it any more. I come in with injuries and her knowledge and advice are spot on. I swear if feels like she’s saved my life. Bonus, theres parking unlike down in the heart of OB. Even if the main street is full (which I’ve never seen,) just park on Ebers. Parking is free. Also there’s a local coffee shop across the street.

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!

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.

I’ve been going to Summer for my massage for over 13 years and would never go to anyone else. She has the best hands in San Diego and will customize your massage for whatever your body needs. Everyone at the spa are always warm and inviting and I would highly recommend this business and Summer for your spa treatments.

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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!!!

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.

If you are looking for professional sports massage or a healing touch, look no further than Shane. She is kind, courteous and knowledgeable. Shane has a wonderful way of knowing what my tired muscles need after a grueling 100mile bike ride; IT band, sacrum, neck and back are all problem areas for me that I receive massage for. On occasion when my sciatica flares up Shane is able to bring healing and eliminate pain to help keep me active. I highly recommend Shane.

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!

Well… I started off looking for an acupuncturist in the OB/​Point Loma who accepted my insurance, and I found Peak Performance. Then I Unilocaled, 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!
