Meet Dr. Tania Nunez

Helping You Understand Your Patterns, Adapt Your Practice, and Keep Doing What You Love.

I've always believed that movement is one of the greatest gifts we have—and that our bodies are constantly giving us information about how we move, feel, recover, and respond to the demands of our lives.

As a Doctor of Acupuncture, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, and movement and recovery educator, my work brings together the practices that have shaped how I understand the body: Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, yoga, strength, mobility, meditation and mindful movement.

My approach is grounded in curiosity. Rather than simply trying to fix what feels uncomfortable, I help people recognize recurring patterns in the body and mind, explore them through a TCM lens, and discover practical ways to work with them.

My Story

Movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up studying ballet, ran track in high school, and later spent nearly two decades practicing and teaching yoga.

When I returned to running, I experienced firsthand how easy it is to fall into a cycle of stretching, pushing, resting, and repeating without really understanding why the same issues keep showing up.

Recurring knee pain, ankle sprains, and an MCL tear forced me to rethink how I trained and recovered.

Instead of giving up the activities I loved, I became more curious about what my body was telling me and what I could do differently. Through strength training, mobility, yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and myofascial recovery techniques, I rebuilt my body, completed two half marathons, several 5Ks, and a 10K, and continue to value movement as part of my life.

But the bigger lesson wasn't simply about running.

It was learning that recurring patterns are worth paying attention to.

That experience deepened the way I think about movement, recovery, and health—and continues to shape the way I work with patients and students today.

My Philosophy

I don't believe the answer is to constantly fix, stretch, push, or avoid what doesn't feel right.

I believe there is value in becoming curious about the patterns that keep showing up.

Tension. Stiffness. Stress. Changes in mobility. Slower recovery. The way emotions can affect how we breathe, move, or hold our bodies.

These experiences don't necessarily exist in isolation.

Through Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, movement, yoga, strength, breathwork, and meditation, we can explore different ways of understanding what you're experiencing and develop practical tools for working with your body.

Whether you're seeking personalized acupuncture care or looking to deepen your understanding of your own movement and recovery patterns, my goal is to help you:

Understand your patterns.
Adapt your practice.
Keep doing what you love.
