FROM VIETNAM TO VISIONARY
A Journey of Resilience, Healing, & Intuitive Leadership
Mimi Chau's story is one of extraordinary transformation—from an immigrant navigating cultural challenges to a trusted guide in conscious leadership and corporate wellness, empowering women to lead with intuition and purpose.
Roots of Resilience
Born on the island of Phu Quoc, Vietnam, Mimi's earliest lessons in leadership came from her grandmother—an illiterate yet brilliant businesswoman who ran a successful business with just an abacus, raised eight children, and helped family members escape to America during the Vietnam War. This powerful legacy of combining business acumen with intuitive, compassionate leadership would later inspire Mimi’s holistic approach to corporate wellness and conscious leadership.
From Survival to Self-Trust: My Journey Between Two Worlds
At nine, Mimi's family moved to San Jose, California. Growing up in a neighborhood where immigrant kids faced violence and drugs, she learned early on that survival meant adapting quickly and carrying the weight of cultural and family expectations. Despite these challenges, she excelled in school, started working at 14, and managed multiple jobs through college. This journey gave her firsthand experience of a pattern she now recognizes in high-achieving women: the gradual disconnection from self that happens when constantly overriding exhaustion, intuition, and well-being to achieve—a pattern she now helps others transform.
From Achievement to Awakening
By her late twenties, Mimi had achieved the entrepreneurial dream—growing a bootstrapped operation into a thriving plant-based café with multiple revenue streams. With a work ethic deeply rooted in her Asian upbringing and amplified by modern hustle culture, she pushed through exhaustion and ignored her body's signals until burnout hit. This crisis became a wake-up call, revealing how success achieved through self-disconnection creates an unsustainable cycle of achievement and depletion.
The Healing Journey
Mimi's path to renewal led her through a deep exploration of holistic healing—from healing chronic pain and burnout through Dr. Joe Dispenza's work to becoming a Reiki Master, practicing sound healing, and experiencing transformative Ayahuasca ceremonies. Each healing modality awakened different aspects of her being: her intuition, her connection to ancestral wisdom, and her inner vision. This journey revealed how high achievement could coexist with vibrant wellbeing, leading her to develop an integrated approach that helps leaders create success on their own terms. Today, she guides others to trust their body's signals, make empowered choices, and create meaningful impact while maintaining their energy and authenticity.
