Her story

The long way here.And every step shows up in the work.

Nicole joined the Marine Corps at 24, signing up alongside her brother, and served four years. After that came seven years at home raising her family.

She had once planned to study sports medicine. In 2018, living in Hawaii, she started training as a massage therapist instead, and found the thing that tied it all together: anatomy, healing and people.

She came home to San Diego in 2020, built a mobile massage practice while earning her esthetician license, and worked in small spas in La Mesa and National City. In August 2023 she opened Rocking Calm in a private room on the top floor of Self Made Training Facility, now Legacy Performance Institute.

It’s the tough stuff that teaches you the most and helps you grow.

How Nicole works

Built around you.Not around a menu.

Every session starts with a conversation: where it hurts, what you’ve been training, what your week has been like and any old injuries. That shapes everything that follows.

From there Nicole draws on sports massage, deep tissue work, Swedish relaxation, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and reflexology, and she brings in fire cupping, muscle scraping, hot stones and assisted stretching when they’ll help. None of it costs extra.

Pressure is a conversation, not a test. Ask for more, ask for less, or ask her to skip a tool, at any point.

Who comes to see her

People who lift, run, fight or play, and want to recover between hard weeks
Professionals who carry their week in their neck and shoulders
People on their feet all day
Anyone who simply needs an hour to come back to themselves

Nicole's treatment room: massage table, window, basket and the In Session sign

The room

Inside the gym.Out of the noise.

Rocking Calm is a private treatment room on the top floor of Legacy Performance Institute, 4030B Sports Arena Blvd. Downstairs, people train. Upstairs, the lights are low and the door says In Session.

Rocking Calm is Nicole’s own practice, so you don’t need a gym membership to book.

It’s minutes from Point Loma, Ocean Beach, Liberty Station and Old Town. Directions and what to expect when you arrive.
