Yumi Iwasaki Lewis

Yumi – Remedial Massage Therapist

Yumi holds a Diploma of Remedial Massage and has been practicing for over 20 years. Her career has taken her across a wide variety of settings — from health clinics and corporate environments to high-profile sporting events such as the Gold Coast Marathon, golf tournaments, and the Commonwealth Games. She has also delivered mobile massage services and worked within five-star hotels and clinics.

Over time, Yumi has developed her own unique massage style, drawing on a wide range of soft tissue techniques, cupping, dry needling, and principles of Eastern philosophy. Her treatments aim to release resistance within the body, restore natural balance, and support long-term wellbeing.

Through her extensive experience, Yumi has discovered the powerful connection between body and mind. This led her to further study psychosomatic therapy, deepening her understanding of how emotional patterns can influence physical health. Her approach now combines physical techniques with an awareness of the psychosomatic dimension, helping clients achieve both physical and mental balance.

Yumi believes that balance in life is essential for optimum health. To complement her massage practice, she has studied rehabilitation exercise as an Allied Health Assistant, equipping her with the knowledge to guide patients in maintaining quality of life through movement and exercise.

In addition to clinical practice, Yumi has been teaching at the Massage Schools of Queensland for over 10 years, sharing her expertise as a part-time lecturer for international students and running her own workshops. She is currently a valued member of the team at Foundation Health Osteopathy.

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

Yumi is a proud member of Massage & Myotherapy Australia and the International Association of Psychosomatic Therapy.
