About Mimi

Mimi Chouard is an experienced Portland massage therapist with a particular passion for supporting clients through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, surgery, and other reproductive and life transitions.

A graduate of the Lane Community College Massage Therapy Program, Mimi has been practicing massage therapy since 2013 and has completed more than 300 hours of advanced training in maternity massage, integrative pelvic bodywork, and breast/chest bodywork. She has also been a Certified Educator of Infant Massage since 2019.

Her experience includes working in massage clinics, chiropractic offices, and award-winning spas, as well as teaching infant massage to parents and caregivers and volunteering as a doula.

Mimi’s Approach to Massage

Mimi believes effective massage begins with listening.

She values clear communication, informed consent, and collaboration throughout each session. While she brings extensive training and professional experience to her work, Mimi believes that each client is the expert on their own body.

Her goal is to create an environment where clients feel heard, respected, comfortable, and actively involved in their care.

Rather than using the same approach with every client, Mimi draws from a range of techniques, including myofascial work, Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and lomi-lomi, choosing and adapting techniques according to each person’s needs and preferences.

Outside the Clinic

When she’s not working with clients, Mimi enjoys being outside—especially hiking, camping, swimming, and spending time in the sun.
