About

Fourth-generation Point Loma native Danae Koolen founded Peak Performance Holistic Therapies in 1992 at 4732 Point Loma Ave, Suite D in 92107—the first therapeutic-massage establishment in the OB/Point Loma area—and expanded it into a full acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and neurofeedback practice. Her MS in Traditional Chinese Medicine layers over a BS in Sports Medicine and postgraduate neuro-acupuncture training, and that sports-medicine foundation serves the post-workout recovery population whose deep-tissue and cupping needs also bring them to The Hidden Spa Inc. on the OB bodywork circuit. Treatment modalities span electrical stimulation, cupping, trigger-point release, fascial work, and Chinese herbal prescriptions, all delivered alongside massage therapists and additional credentialed acupuncturists under one roof. The neuro-based acupuncture style targets motor-point activation for athletes managing rotator-cuff strain or runner's knee, and that orthopedic specificity positions the clinic on the same joint-rehabilitation axis as Ambert Family Chiropractic for patients splitting care between needle therapy and spinal adjustment. The most complex protocols combine electroacupuncture with multi-week herbal cycles and progressive fascial release for patients recovering from post-surgical orthopedic reconstruction.
