Do you want training in today’s most effective paradigm of family-centered massage - individualizing touch and massage for each unique infant and child and parent rather than routinely performing a generic inventory of strokes? Do you want to utilize practical skills derived from a knowledge of infant and child development and behavior, effective communication, and facilitation strategies and methods distilled from decades of experience developing touch and massage interventions with families?

Instructor Certification Training

Learn from experienced trainers and faculty with professional backgrounds and knowledge of massage intervention that range from hospital to home visitation to community-based settings.

Learn an application of infant massage instruction that is family-centered by design and individualized to fit the baby and family. Within this approach is a framework of assessment of the infant/child and family, neurobehavioral observation, massage positioning that supports outcomes for the developmental progress of the child. This approach encourages parent-child interaction that builds attachment, as well as a trusting relationship between the instructor and the family.

Learn to facilitate infant massage instruction for families with babies who are typically developing, and follow up with continuing education classes ranging from working with families with infants and children born biologically or environmentally at-risk or with special needs, learning more in-depth facilitation skills to work with a wide range of parent populations and situations, or receiving personal supervision or consultation.
