Mimi Yu (尤虹文) is the author of three memoirs, including the 2019 title “The Unforgetting Body” in which she details her recovery from depression. 

Yu is a cellist who has worked with musicians like Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Paul Katz, and Robert Levin. She played cello while at The Juilliard School and has a B.A. in economics from Harvard University. Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Mimi Yu went to the U.S. at age 15 to study at the Cleveland Institute of Music. 

In her mid-twenties, Yu was impacted by severe depression and had to stop performing.

We discuss her path to healing; finding Buddhism, Taosim, the importance of eating well and listening to your body, trailing spouses. She’s now a public speaker, a music healer, and a coach on mental wellness.

“There’s a beauty in every person we meet, and when they come to me, there must be a reason, and I am just here to support and to love, and sometimes that love awakens the deep love they have for themselves inside. And when that happens, then healing happens.”
