GREETINGS!
You can become a certified Infant Massage Educator and help parents use nurturing touch to feel closer to their babies, reduce their colic and fussing, sleep better, and become healthier and happier.
Infant Massage USA's four-day Parent Educator Certification Training will prepare you to teach parents and caregivers how to massage their infants and children.
Our 15-point curriculum, designed by Vimala McClure, author of Infant Massage, A Handbook for Loving 
Parents, will give you the knowledge base, experience and confidence you will need to fulfill your role as an instructor. You will get practical experience teaching infant massage through the three-day parent-baby class that is part of each training.
As a Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM), you will be able to work with parents and families in private, group, hospital and agency settings. In addition to private teaching, you will be able to participate in research studies, conduct in-service programs, and present at professional conferences.
Nurses, midwives, childbirth educators, early intervention specialists, NICU staff, OTs, PTs, parents and caregivers, and anyone interested in promoting nurturing touch as a parenting tradition have found this training to be a wonderful tool in their work with parents and babies.
This course and certification qualifies for 52-56 CE credit hours for nurses and massage therapists, and is also accredited through AOTA and Maryland Board of Physical Therapy Examiners.
Not ready to register? Looking for a training closer to home? Please reply back to this email and let me know to keep you on my training mailing list and inform you about future trainings.
As a Infant Massage Parent Educator, you will have a rewarding opportunity to enhance parent-infant bonding, improve and maintain the physical well-being of babies, and facilitate long-term, positive emotional development.
I would love to have you in one of my trainings!
Sincerely,
Olga

"Olga's wonderfully personal teaching style made this a very personal and deeply touching experience." - Nicole
"Infant massage is such an important part of the growing and bonding process that I can't wait to immediately get started teaching families of the premature infants I care for. It is going to be such a positive outcome not only for the infants, but also for the mothers who have little control over what they can do for their infant." - Connie
“The course is a must-have for any professional working with infants or working with parents of infants . . . everyone should know this information.” - Head of an Early Intervention Agency
“I loved meeting the parents and babies. Watching them perform infant massage was an absolutely beautiful experience.” - Student
