In this episode, we sit down with Josh Williams, LMT, a practitioner whose unique journey bridges the worlds of human and equine therapy. Based in Oregon, Josh has spent decades refining his work—first as a massage therapist for people, and later extending his practice to horses, blending intuition with biomechanics.
Josh shares how his early years in a rural farm town eventually led him to massage school in Hawaii, and how a chance encounter with a meditation retreat center helped shape the depth and presence he brings into every treatment session.
We also discuss his podcast, My Horse Journey, where he explores the incredible connection between people and horses—and what these animals can teach us about healing, patience, and presence.
Whether you’re a manual therapist, animal lover, or just someone curious about alternative healing paths, this episode offers a truly unique perspective.
