Meet Dr. Tania Nunez

Helping People Move Better, Recover Naturally, and Keep Doing What They Love.

I've always believed that movement is one of the greatest gifts we have—and that we shouldn't have to give it up as we get older.

As a Doctor of Acupuncture, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Recovery Specialist, and recreational runner, my mission is to help people reduce pain, move with confidence, and build healthier, more resilient bodies.

My approach combines the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with evidence-informed movement, strength training, mobility, and recovery strategies to help people feel better today while supporting long-term health and longevity.

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 quickly discovered that the body changes with time. 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 learned to train smarter. 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 working toward lifelong, healthy running.

That personal journey shapes the way I care for every patient and every student today.

My Philosophy

I don't believe healthy aging means slowing down.

I believe it means learning how to care for your body differently.

Whether you're seeking acupuncture for pain relief, stress, headaches, digestive concerns, or sports recovery—or you're a runner looking to prevent injuries and keep running for years to come—my goal is the same:

To help you move better, recover naturally, and keep doing what you love.
