About Deb.
Deborah Nicosia, BA, LMT
Initially, I earned a BA in philosophy from Texas State University. In 2006, I went on to complete 750 hours of instruction in massage therapy from the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts in Santa Fe, NM. I’ve studied many modalities, including deep massage, pregnancy massage, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, orthobionomy, clinical massage, craniosacral therapy, and shiatsu.
Of all the modalities I’ve practiced, Craniosacral Therapy was by far the most interesting, rewarding, and effective. I am excited to focus on this modality and look forward to sharing the profound benefits with you.

FAQs
Is it like massage therapy?
Yes and No. It is similar to massage therapy since you will be on a massage table with soft music playing, and the session is about an hour. It is not like a massage because the work is performed over clothing and a series of sustained holds instead of strokes.
Do you work with children?
I mostly work with adults. However, I will work with older kids on a case-by-case basis. I do not currently work with children younger than 10 years old.
What should I wear?
You will lie on the table with your clothes on to receive CST. Since the work is done over clothes, comfortable workout-type clothing works best.
Will I need more than one session?
If you are working on a particular issue, more than one session is often indicated. My intention is always to help you achieve your goals in as few sessions as possible.
How will I feel after the session?
Most people feel very relaxed. Although the work is subtle, it is deep work. So be gentle with yourself after a craniosacral session. Stay hydrated. Take it easy. In other words, it’s probably better to receive CST after you run a marathon, not before.
Do you take insurance or HSA?
I do not take insurance but do accept most HSA cards.
