Yumi Iwasaki Lewis

Yumi holds a Diploma of Remedial Massage and has been practising for over 20 years. Her career has taken her across a wide variety of settings, including health clinics, corporate environments, and high profile sporting events such as the Gold Coast Marathon, golf tournaments, and the Commonwealth Games.

Over time, Yumi has developed her own unique massage style. In her integrated holistic remedial therapy treatments, she utilises a wide range of techniques including advanced soft tissue work, cupping, dry needling, principles of Eastern philosophy, and, when appropriate, tuning forks to support nervous system balance. She is also trained in Oncology Massage, allowing her to provide safe, supportive and considered care for clients undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment.

Her treatments focus on releasing resistance within the body, restoring natural balance, and deepening both physical and mental awareness. By helping clients tune in to what the body is communicating and its innate wisdom, Yumi supports the cultivation of mindful awareness for sustainable, long term wellbeing.

Through her extensive clinical experience, Yumi has developed a deep understanding of the powerful connection between the body and mind. This insight led her to further study psychosomatic therapy, expanding her understanding of how emotional patterns and personality traits can influence physical health. Her approach now integrates hands on physical treatment with psychosomatic awareness, supporting clients to achieve both physical relief and mental balance.

Yumi believes that balance in life is essential for optimal health. To complement her massage practice, she has also studied rehabilitation exercise as an Allied Health Assistant. This training enables her to guide clients in maintaining their quality of life, including mental health, through physical awareness, movement, and exercise.

In addition to her clinical work, Yumi spent 15 years teaching at the Massage Schools of Queensland, where she worked as a part time lecturer for international students, sharing her extensive knowledge and experience.

Today, her passion has evolved toward sharing psychosomatic therapy more deeply, and she now runs her own workshops focused on the mind and body connection.

Yumi is currently a valued member of the team at Foundation Health Osteopathy.

“For me, recognising what is happening in the body and mind creates the awareness needed to focus on where change is required. This awareness forms positive intentions, both physically and mentally, empowering us to maintain our health and live in a state of true wellbeing.”

Yumi is a proud member of Massage and Myotherapy Australia and the International Association of Psychosomatic Therapy and Quantum Medical Alliance Japan.
