Yes, two. Your first 60-minute session is $85 (regularly $150) with code INTRO85, or take 20% off a first 90 or 120-minute session with code FIRST20. The site copies the right code for you when you tap Book.

It starts with a short check-in: where you’re tight, how you train or work, and any injuries or health conditions. Nicole builds the session from there and checks in on pressure as she goes.

Online booking needs at least 24 hours’ notice. Hoping to come in sooner? Text Nicole at (808) 371-8283 and ask whether she can fit you in.

A few minutes early is perfect. Sessions end at their scheduled time, so arriving late shortens your massage.

No. Rocking Calm is Nicole’s own practice inside Legacy Performance Institute, and anyone can book a session with her directly.

Something comfortable you can move in, since stretching may be part of the session. For the massage itself, undress to your comfort level; you stay draped except for the area being worked on.

Athletes and people who train, professionals, people on their feet all day, and anyone carrying tension. If you have a health condition or a recent injury, check with your doctor first and tell Nicole at check-in.

60 minutes covers one or two problem areas or a full-body Swedish massage. 90 minutes is the most popular, with time for full body plus focus work. 120 minutes gives chronic tension the time it needs.

Yes. Ask for more or less pressure at any point. Deep work can feel intense, but it shouldn’t be something you grit your teeth through.

Sports and deep tissue massage, Swedish relaxation, trigger point and myofascial work, plus fire cupping, muscle scraping, hot stones and assisted stretching whenever they’ll help. See all services.

Maybe a little, especially after deep work, and it usually passes within a day or so. Our deep tissue page covers what helps.

It depends on your goals and your budget. Many people come monthly, and people in hard training blocks often come more. Our guide on how often to get a massage goes through it.

Yes, Nicole offers prenatal massage. Check with your doctor or midwife first, and tell Nicole you’re pregnant when you book so she can plan your positioning and pressure. Cupping isn’t recommended during pregnancy, so it’s left out, and hot stones are only used if your doctor or midwife says heat is fine.

Massage isn’t a substitute for medical care, and nobody should promise it will fix an injury. If you’re recovering from one, check with your doctor or physical therapist, then tell Nicole about it at check-in.

Yes. Fire cupping, muscle scraping, hot stones and assisted stretching are part of every 60, 90 and 120-minute massage whenever they’ll help. A 45-minute cupping-only session is $95. More on fire cupping.

Often, yes: round marks where the cups sat, which usually fade within one to two weeks. Tell Nicole about any event or photos coming up. More in our guide to cupping marks.

It shouldn’t. Most people feel a firm pull under the cup, and the suction can be eased off. Read does cupping hurt? for the details.

Of course. Tell Nicole and she’ll leave it out. Nothing in a session is mandatory.

A smooth-edged tool glided along the muscle, also called instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). See muscle scraping for how it feels.

$150 for 60 minutes, $190 for 90 minutes and $240 for 120 minutes, with cupping, scraping, hot stones and stretching included. Fire cupping on its own is $95 for 45 minutes. See pricing.

Yes. New clients pay $85 for a first 60 minutes, members and prepaid packages save on every visit, and seasonal packages appear while they run. See every current special.

Text Nicole as soon as you can. Your session still ends at the scheduled time, at the full price, so the earlier you arrive the more massage you get.

No. Prepaid sessions are nonrefundable and can’t be moved to another date.
