Shito Rie

Transforming Lives Through Sincerity and Skilled Touch

Shito Rie, Spa Manager at the award-winning Lapidem Tokyo Spa, embodies a unique blend of heart-led service and refined technique. Known for her sincerity, precision, and deep respect for the healing power of touch, Rie brings warmth, expertise, and leadership to every treatment she delivers—and every therapist she mentors.

A Journey Rooted in Purpose and Passion
Rie discovered her calling in high school during a trial esthetic class, where she was deeply moved by how much transformation could be achieved through human hands in such a short time. From that moment, she made it her mission to master the art of wellness and share its benefits with others. Since joining Lapidem Tokyo Spa in 2021, Rie has continued to elevate the guest experience while nurturing an empowering and collaborative environment for her team.

Instructor at Kogao School Dubai

At Kogao School Dubai, we are honored to welcome Ms. Shito Rie as an instructor for our Hitokori and Ishido massage training courses—two of our most advanced Japanese techniques.

Through these trainings, Rie shares her mastery in:

• Hot Stone Therapy: deeply warming techniques that relax muscles and activate vital tsubo (pressure) points
   
• Sphere Stone Massage: dynamic sculpting motions that improve circulation and contour the face and body
   
• Cryo Therapy: revitalizing cold treatments that oxygenate and brighten the skin
   
• Lymphatic Drainage: detoxifying movements that reduce puffiness and enhance glow
   
• Aesthetic Sculpting: precise lifting and contouring techniques for visible facial rejuvenation
   
• Energy Activation Rituals: harmonizing treatments that restore inner calm and outer beauty
   

Her classes go beyond teaching technique—they inspire a new level of presence, intention, and professional excellence in every student.

More Than a Manager—A Mentor and Creative Force
As Spa Manager, Rie is dedicated to providing each guest with a unique and unforgettable experience, while continuously developing her team’s skills and morale. She also contributes to Lapidem’s digital presence through social media and as a writer for LAPIHOLI, the spa’s lifestyle platform focused on Japanese beauty rituals and wellness insights.

A Philosophy of Service and Growth
Rie’s guiding motto—“Believe in yourself and face each guest with sincerity”—is reflected in her approach to both therapy and training. Her goal is to grow every day, both as a person and a professional, while enriching the lives of others through care and expertise.
