This has been so overdue that I'm embarrassed to admit that I've actually been actively mermaiding somewhat professionally for over a year now but haven't actually introduced myself yet here. Forgive me! Part of that was because I was struggling with self-confidence issues and some social anxiety. But thanks to the mysteriously empowering effect that mermaiding has on most people, I was able to overcome those issues completely. So hello all you beautiful and inspiring mers! I hope I can find my place here among you all.
I'm Mermaid Yumi, a PNW based mermaid; living on Whidbey Island in Washington State. Together with my mersister Hannah, we perform for various local events, parties and even photoshoots. We've started to put together a little pod for our area and are also working with our local pool to open a mermaid school and fitness classes sometime within the next year. Honestly it amazes me how lucky we've been in this journey and we are so incredibly grateful for all the support and love our community, family and friends, have given us. We truly love our little Island! We strive to continue to give kids and adults alike opportunities to experience the joys and magic that comes with mermaiding. I originally started out with a few fabric tails from SwimTails and then saved up for a silicone hybrid Mertailor tail and I couldn't be happier. I hope to someday be blessed enough to have tails from all my favorite tail makers; seriously crossing my fingers!
Aside from mermaiding, I'm also a student of traditional Japanese dance, an avid gamer; both tabletop and console, and a proud mommy to a beautiful soon to be 3-year old girl! So that's just a little about myself, thanks for reading and it's a pleasure to meet you all. Here's some pictures I wanted to share.
