The People of Mien - Yumie
Yumie pronounced ‘yummy’ is actually how many of the mien spa clients feel about her massages. Japanese born Yumie has been with the mien spa team since 2017. Originally from the centrally located city of Nagoya (famous for its Samurai I’m told) Yumie is loving her time at mien and her new hometown Melbourne.
Growing up with no parkland to play outside as a kid Yumi loves all things Australian - gardens, parks, the Australian outback and drinking wine in the beautiful Vinyards.
Yumie’s passion for the beauty industry was born at the age of 5 when her mother gave her a hairdressing kit (hopefully there were no sharp scissors or half shaven heads involved). She remembers graduating from high school in Nagoya and knowing University was not an option it was beauty that was her passion. Yumie completed her beauty school training in Japan and went onto the prestigious La Seine Spa where she learnt and was inspired by the philosophy of Shiatsu.
With a Remedial diploma now under her belt, Yumie is one of Mien’s favourite Spa Therapists. Her favourite treatments are massage and facials. She says she tries to move energy and help people to feel lighter and improve flow throughout the body. She likes to use her intuition to find pain and discomfort to relieve and restore. She also likes to create a program of stretching and massages that are specific to getting results. After facials her goal is to see an improved complexion and make recommendation on home care that’s helpful.
