About the Therapist / 自己紹介

​Hi there. My name is Mimoza Tan, the specialist of Posture Corrective Therapist, Remedial Massage therapist, and Registered nurse (in Japan).

I am from Osaka, Japan and have been living in Sydney for 7 years. Mother of two kids.

My unique name is a real name, derived from the name of the mimosa flower(wattle).

Since 2018, I have been working as a Shoji-style massage therapist (such as shiatsu).

I took a maternity leave in 2020 and 2023 due to my daughter and son's birth. 

In August 2024, I returned to work and conduct massage session at a clinic in Central, Leichhardt, my home clinic in North Parramatta and also do a home visiting service.

As a nurse working in a hospital, I used to have a chronic body pains like shoulder stiffness and lower back pain. Back then, I managed with youthfulness, but at 30 years old, during a working holiday, I developed hip joint pain. I limped while walking and suffered from shoulder and lower back pain, so tapping and massaging those areas became routine to manage the pain.

It was during this time that I encountered the "Shoji Method Posture Correction" by Shoji Sugimori, who resides on the Central Coast.

In simple terms, it's about correcting posture misalignment to improve various discomforts.

Even after numerous massages at massage school, physiotherapies, and local massage parlors, my body, which didn't improve, remembers being significantly relieved by a single treatment.

From then until now, around 2024, I've spent about five years studying and implementing the Shoji Method, and continuing to deepen my learning through regular treatments from Mr. Shoji himself.

I've improved all the body pain, such as neck stiffness, shoulder stiffness, lower back pain, hip pain, headaches, and bad postures such as forward rounded shoulder, swayback, O shaped legs, and crooked knees, that I was on the verge of giving up on.

At the age of nearly 40, now healthier and more energetic than at 30, I would like to help those currently suffering from chronic bodily discomfort like my past self.
