Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses ultra-thin needles to stimulate specific points in the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. Our licensed practitioners treat musculoskeletal conditions, stress, and various health issues by restoring energy flow. This ancient practice effectively addresses chronic pain, anxiety, and digestive disorders while improving overall wellness through personalized treatment plans.
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapy combines multiple techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Certified therapists customize sessions for deep tissue work, relaxation, or specific pain points. Treatments include Swedish massage, hot stone therapy, and prenatal options that help reduce stress while enhancing physical recovery and promoting better sleep quality for clients.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to increase blood flow and release muscle tension. This traditional Chinese medicine technique helps eliminate toxins while improving range of motion. Sessions can be standalone treatments or complement acupuncture, providing effective relief for chronic pain and enhancing athletic recovery through improved circulation and tissue flexibility.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback sessions use EEG technology to balance brainwave patterns, improving neurological function. This non-invasive treatment helps manage stress, anxiety, and cognitive challenges by creating new neural pathways. Clients experience enhanced mental clarity and emotional stability through personalized sessions that optimize brain function without requiring active participation during treatment.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Our TCM approach combines acupuncture with customized herbal prescriptions for comprehensive wellness. Practitioners create personalized treatment plans addressing specific health concerns while supporting overall vitality. This holistic system effectively manages chronic conditions, boosts immune function, and restores natural balance through natural remedies and time-tested healing practices tailored to individual needs.

Hey Danae! I LOVE'd your latest Peak Performance email update with your list of safety precautions taken during Covid 19. I believe it will open doors for many that may be hesitant. I enjoyed my recent treatment (end of March), seeing that you're in your mask, willing to work around anything to make me be more comfortable in this strange time, staggering clients & the sanitizing precautions taken without the smell of harsh chemicals filling the air.
After 20+ years of treatments with you, as well as experiencing at least 20+more acupuncture and massage offices through out the country, you're doing an excellent job in every way possible and it's much appreciated, as I know it is and will be for others to come. Keep up the great work & helping others at a time when it's needed more than ever! Wandi

As educational sign language interpreters, my co-workers and I face a host of physical strains including neck, back, shoulder, knee and hip issues. Dr Kevin Rose at Peak Performance is the first and only professional I recommend when one of us is in pain. He is particularly familiar with what our line of work involves, and with the regular wear and tear we endure daily, we are very fortunate to have a chiropractor here in San Diego whose treatment we can count on to keep us feeling our best.
He listens to his patient's concerns and addresses each area of concern with the utmost care. I've seen a number of chiropractors over the years and I can say with complete honesty that Dr Kevin Rose, through his use of Active Release Therapy (ART, ) is the only one who has repeatedly been able to resolve my issues satisfactorily.

Peak Performance Holistic Therapies is my go to spot. Danae, Jill, & Liz are the absolute best at taking care of me. Acupuncture, massage, spray on tans and facials; simply spa heaven. Go on line and book your appointment, you won't be disapointed!

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!

Had the best experience having Liz Trejo as my Massage Therapist. I went in there with Back and Neck aches and came back feeling like new. I haven't stopped going to her since then. I would HIGHLY recommend going to Liz. The atmosphere was great, she delivered on the treatment, and over all great vibes on the table. it's no wonder my friends all recommended me too her. Do yourself, and your body a favor and go check her out for all your massage needs.

Danae is very good at what she does. I went to her while recovering from a torn lateral meniscus in my knee. I received accupuncture treatments once a week and it helped tremendously. My knee has felt great ever since. She also did treatments for anxiety which I found very helpful. I am thankful to have found her and highly recommend Peak Performance.
