About Josh
Hi, my name is Josh Nunn. I was born in Austin, Texas where I first found my passion for health and movement. Rowing, kayaking, hiking and biking all played a pivotal role in my self-discovery.
Movement has helped me navigate and overcome the challenges of injury, depression, loss, and personal and professional roadblocks. Movement has taught me how to love and care for myself - my body, my mind and my spirit. Movement eventually lead me to explore what health is and how to guide the body back into balance after acute and chronic trauma.
Helping others connect-in with their bodies and find their own inner wisdom has allowed for faster and more integrative healing to occur. By exploring what it means to enjoy the process of awaking and exploring creative self-expression through movement, has made be a better therapist and deepened my appreciation for the gift of our bodies.
Through the years, I have chased this journey through western degrees and eastern healing arts, sprint and endurance races, weight training, yoga, meditation, and fallen down many, many rabbit holes - which I’ll save for future fire chats. The journey of hard-knocks has informed a balanced approach to what Living Health means to me.

Injury Recovery and Structural Bodywork
Fascia, or the connective tissue, holds everything in place. It is the foundational matrix of muscle tissue, into which all contractile cells attach. It is the scaffolding that holds in place our nerves and blood vessels.
Poor posture, scar tissue and chronic tightness limits muscles' ability to fully contract and elongate, inhibits nerve impulses, and slows down circulation limiting the capacity for nutrients to get to and heal injured areas.
Josh uses hands-on manual therapy to ease fascial tension and open up the body's nerve and circulation pathways.
Health Assessment + Programing
We take inventory of your current lifestyle - work load, family/social responsibilities, dietary choices, exercise routine, postural patterns and biomechanical restrictions.
Integrated Programming: we create a plan (coordinating diet, exercise, alignment bodywork and healthy lifestyle factors) that supports your efforts in reaching your health and movement goals.
