Manolis Kouzarakis
“For where there is love of man,
there is also love of the art.”
– Hippocrates
About Manolis
For Manolis Kouzarakis, holistic therapy is the highest art of living. Since 2015, he has been devoted to wellness, guided by the belief that each person can become the creator of their own health by harmonising with nature’s self‑healing power.
Manolis is a holistic therapist with extensive experience in world‑class resorts and spas across Crete, including Elounda Bay, Cayo Exclusive Resort and Minos Beach Art Hotel. He specialises in Reflexology, Shiatsu, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, combining precise technique with a deeply grounded, nurturing presence. Passionate about education, he also trains new spa therapists in Reflexology and spa techniques, passing on the philosophy of holistic care to the next generation.
In 2019 he presented “The Olive Tree: The Sacred Tree Through the Ages” at the Panhellenic Congress of Greek Traditional Medicine, exploring the timeless link between Greek land and health. This research led to the creation of “DIKTYNNA” in 2020 – a signature line of natural remedies, essential oils and tinctures that he integrates with care into every session. Faithful to the Hippocratic principle of Philanthropia, Manolis also offers his services to Multiple Sclerosis awareness actions and consistently supports the “EY ZO with Cancer” association, seeing therapy as an act of service that reaches the heart of human connection.
