Masoki Massage Therapy

Soup is hugs in a bowl. Fall just makes it official.
Rest, restore, laddle up, your body works hard, so feed it something kind.

Cupping doesn’t have to be static. With dynamic cupping, we glide the cups over oiled skin, so it feels like a deep, stretching massage instead of a stationary treatment.

Why clients love it:
✨ Eases tight, stubborn muscles
✨ Boosts circulation and warms the tissue
✨ Helps release fascial restrictions
✨ Supports mobility and post-workout recovery
✨ Feels relaxing, not painful

Perfect for desk-job tension, athletes, or anyone whose back and shoulders are begging for relief.

Hi hello wonderful beings! Right on the edge of summer and fall, the air itself seems to pause…still warm, but carrying a hint of change underneath. It’s a good time to look back at what the summer held: the moments that mattered, the things you meant to do and did or didn’t, what surprised you. And to look forward, too;.what you want to carry into the coming season, what you’re ready to let go of. The shift in the air outside mirrors a shift worth making inside.

A client’s daughter shared this with me and I’m still smiling or 😭. Hearing that someone left feeling completely relaxed, pain-free, and cared for — that’s the whole point.

So grateful for clients who trust me with their bodies and their stories. This is never lost on me. Thank you for letting me do what I love. 💛

✨ Meet Lily Kandaris✨ With 20+ years in the healing arts, Lily brings a rare blend of skill and intuition to every session. Her journey started as a NYC dancer and 17-year dance educator, giving her a deep understanding of the body’s movement and anatomy before it evolved into a career in massage therapy.
Trained in both Eastern and Western modalities, Lily’s toolbox spans Swedish massage, trigger-point therapy, acupressure, Reiki, craniosacral work, and manual lymphatic drainage. She’s also a certified cupping practitioner and an experienced educator, having taught at Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy and with several teams and studios across the Phoenix area. She brings a uniquely empathetic perspective to peri- and post-menopausal care too, drawing on her own experience to support clients through this transition — body, mind, and spirit.
A member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals and the American Craniosacral Therapy Association, Lily is always growing her craft. Outside the treatment room, you’ll find her hiking, gardening, meditating, or spending time with family. She and her husband recently made Richmond home after relocating from Phoenix!
We’re also excited that Lily is collaborating with Masoki as a continuing education provider — stay tuned for upcoming CE opportunities! 📚
