Welcome to Restore Massage Therapy.

In my work as a Catholic LMT, I integrate the physical healing of traditional bodywork with a spiritual awareness rooted in the Catholic understanding of the human person as body and soul. For clients, it can offer not only reduced muscle tension, improved circulation, and nervous-system regulation, but also a sense of interior peace that comes from intentional prayer throughout our session. The care you will receive respects the dignity of the person, avoids any spiritually ambiguous practices, and invites the Holy Spirit to be present in the work of healing. At its heart, Catholic massage therapy aims to support holistic well-being—restoring the body while nurturing a deeper encounter with God, who desires His children to find rest.

Please select your ideal appointment type. If you have any questions about our treatments or alternative availability, please call Restore at (585) 363-5040. I look forward to working with you on your health journey.

Lily Gandell grew up in Fairport, New York, where she first discovered the power of healing touch by instinctively offering comfort to friends and family. What began as a childhood joy soon developed into a lifelong calling to provide restorative care through massage therapy.

She graduated from the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage in Rochester, NY in 2021 and became a Licensed Massage Therapist with a special focus on women’s health and prenatal support. In 2025, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from Franciscan University of Steubenville, where her studies deepened her understanding of the human person and the integration of body, mind, and soul. Lily is also a certified birth doula, combining her skills in therapeutic massage with compassionate support for women and families throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Inspired by her father, an OB-GYN whose devotion to patients modeled true compassion, Lily seeks to honor the dignity of women in every stage of life. As a Catholic provider in a field often shaped by practices not aligned with the Church, she offers a reverent, spiritually grounded alternative. Each session is approached with prayer and intentional care, creating a safe and sacred space for healing.

Her philosophy of practice is simple yet profound: healing flows from respectful, attentive, and prayerfully guided touch. Every massage is uniquely tailored to the client’s needs, grounded in trust of God’s design and reverence for the body as a sacramental sign of the soul’s dignity.

It is her joy to serve as part of Restore Health and Wellness, where Catholic values and whole-person healing are at the heart of care.

Tips are welcome and go directly toward supporting this hands-on care.
