Mimi Tatsumi

Growing up on the California coastline, Mimi Tatsumi developed a keen awareness of the symbiosis between nature and humanity at a young age. Her esoteric studies began as a teenager and included the human aura, Kirlian photography, Buckminster Fuller, sacred geometry and other related subjects.  Her fascination with human energy systems provided a natural springboard to a profession in the healing arts. Rather than use her degree in Social Ecology, Global Peace and Conflict Studies from UC Irvine to pursue policymaking, Mimi chose to assist individuals in finding peace and strength within themselves. 

Beginning her career as a certified and licensed massage therapist in 1992 at Bosten Chiropractic, she soon incorporated yoga, essential oils and aromatherapy into her profession. Mimi was also a pioneer of the now common place “Spa Party” concept, which she brought with her to Maui in 2000. 

There, she put down roots, waterbirthed and raised her son Prasa, and spent close to two decades treating high-profile clientele in The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Maui. During her tenure there, she was renowned for her expertise in Hot Stone massage, Hawaiian ceremonial-style Lomilomi, AquaCranial, Pregnancy massage, Vichy Shower Body Treatments, Healing Touch and Deep Tissue. As an educator, she co-created The Spa’s “Crystal Gemstone Treatment” and “4-Hand Lomilomi Protocol”. 

Her thirst for knowledge has led her on numerous adventures including studying under the Gyuto Tibetan monks, learning mantra, meditation, teaching at-risk youth in East Los Angeles non-violence practices and the art of personal mandalas. She also spent time in Italy as an apprentice to Doctor Sergio Lopez Braña, founder of the Braña Method, an aromatherapy-based, full-body rejuvenation system.  In recent years, Mimi began studying the use of Tibetan 9 Metal Sound Bowls and crystal healing tools with Tibetan Healer Sanjay Boud.

Coming full circle, Mimi has returned to the Wellness Room at Bosten Chiropractic in Los Angeles to continue sharing her vast knowledge of holistic healing while providing guidance in the simple and effective use of tools and therapies for grounding, centering and revitalizing.
