 Yumi is deeply inspired by the body’s innate wisdom and ability to heal. With a compassionate touch, she creates a space where each session honours your unique journey, restoring harmony both physically and energetically.

Yumi says...

“I was born in Japan, where physical touch isn’t a common part of daily life—my family greeted each other with bows or waves instead of hugs. Discovering Reiki opened my eyes to the profound healing power of touch, and later, Zenthai Shiatsu deepened my understanding of connection through movement, presence and care. In each session, I offer ‘te-a-te’, a Japanese word that combines ‘te’ (hand) and ‘a-te’ (apply), together meaning treatment or healing—a simple yet powerful reminder that intentional touch can bring harmony to the body, mind and spirit.” 

Reflections from clients...

“My sessions with Yumi, as a pregnant client, was incredibly rejuvenating and healing. She is very mindful of mine and the baby’s needs. Her techniques made me relaxed and I felt safe and nurtured through the process. As my abdomen grew heavier over time and my body posture changed, muscle tensions also increased. But having a zenthai shiatsu session focused on pregnant women’s body with Yumi alleviated these tensions. I felt freshened up, massaged mindfully and just simply alert and energised again. I highly recommend it to any women who may need some tender loving care on their body. It’s a wonderful feeling to also just receive nourishing for myself! Thank Yumi! You’re amazing!”
―Rovielle of Maleny 

“Yumi is such a sincere and full of humanity and that reflected on her treatment. I had a session that brought me a surprise of healing! A huge release came with breath work during session. I felt like something from the past life issue was released and tears came out naturally. I cried like a child after the session as Yumi held me gently. I had only one word to describe my feeling at that time was gratitude – so thankful to Yumi from the bottom of my heart.”
―Yoko Hayashi, Japanese Sound Therapist at We Are Sound 

“Excellent massage. Can highly recommend. Very unique style that is effective. Yumi understands the subtleties of Chinese/Japanese medicine that can be of great benefit to those seeking treatment. It would be wise to organise a drop off/pick up particularly after the 90mins massage as the work is very deep. Would not recommend driving home after a session.”
