She owns and operates a home based private practice, Massage Solutions, LLC. Debbie has over 13 years of massage experience and is a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association.

Chris Cedrone
Chris Cedrone is a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Connecticut. He graduated from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in December of 2005 and has also passed the comprehensive National Certification Exam (NCE) administered by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and is nationally certified (NCTMB). Chris is also a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and has volunteered at several local events. Chris practices his own style, which he calls “Fusion Therapy” in his sessions. Techniques consisting of Classic Western Massage strokes are seamlessly mixed with Traditional Eastern Japanese and Chinese therapies having their early roots in China, some of which can be traced back 5,000 years. This “Fusion Therapy” includes the modalities of Korean Sooji Hand Therapy, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Anma, and Tui Na along with the Traditional 5 Element and 8 Principle Theory styles of diagnosis, Chris is constantly expanding his practice to include modalities that do not involve extensive or stressful use of the hands and shoulders; which he wants to teach to help prolong the careers of his fellow Holistic Health Practitioners. He is diligently continuing his 17 year long journey towards an Advanced Practitioner Level in Shiatsu. He feels there is always "more to learn" Lolita and Chris met in September of 2006 at a Fijian Massage Workshop in Essex, CT. When Lolita noticed Chris's passion for helping other therapists in the class, she asked him to become one of her limited number of instructors and after 4 years of training Chris was NCBTMB certified as an Instructor by Lolita Knight in 2010. The rest as they say, is history.
Chris is certified with Fijian Massage, Chinese Facial Fusion Massage and Indian Head Massage.
