"May I massage you?" 

Now, every time Jamie's mother or father ask permission to massage her, she straigtens out her arms and legs in anticipation. 

Every massage session starts with asking your baby's permission to massage her. This shows respect for your baby as a person.

Resting your hands on the part of your baby's body you want to massage helps prepare them for the massage.

Debbie Page, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, USA

Debbie has been a Registered Nurse for 33 years and a board certified lactation consultant since 1998. Her belief in a holistic approach to healthy maternity and mothering led her to become an Infant Massage Therapist in 2007.
Debbie has been working with mothers and babies and their families since 1975, except for a period of 11 years in which she took off to enjoy and nurture her three children. She then returned to work gradually until the youngest child turned 15. She has devoted the last 5 years to serving breastfeeding mothers and babies in the community throughout central Massachusetts.

Debbie has a passion for promoting love and closeness in the family. She knows that most families today need to learn how to nurture themselves and their children. Touch is vital to all relationships. Therefore she implores mothers and fathers to provide as much time skin to skin with their new born babies as possible. She is a passionate advocate of Kangaroo Mother Care, which promotes exclusive breastfeeding, skin to skin contact and support to the mother and baby.
Her unique style nurtures mothers as they are getting to know and nurture their babies. Her belief that the mother must first be nurtured led her to become a co-founder of Mothers and Company, a central and metro west Massachusetts company that provides classes, groups and essentials for Maternity and Parenting.
