CLASS SUMMARY:

Participants, through detailed instruction by our Licensed Trainers, are trained to teach parents/primary caregivers The Loving Touch® Method© of Massage with their newborns and children through a demonstration approach using a doll. This is a parent-delivered activity because the goal is to empower parents/caregivers to have direct hands-on contact with their children to improve the parent/child connection through the massage.  Our certification program is presented through PowerPoints/Keynotes, lectures, audio-visual aids, shared discussions, and hands-on learning with a demonstration doll.  There will be an in-person demonstration lab/or Zoom with parents and their children each day of the training for more in-depth learning. To receive  CIMI® certification, participants must attend both days of training and complete the Post-Practicum assignment. This includes the online Open-Book exam and parent instructional sessions with observational write-ups. Successfully passing will achieve their Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI®) Certificate. Participants have a 2-month window to complete the program.

Graduates become a part of the International Registry of CIMI® through the International Loving Touch Foundation, Inc.  Read more about Becoming a CIMI®. Information on continuing education (see CE HOUR Accreditation information)
