Join Lynn Barts, who is the Midwest Licensed CIMI® Trainer for the International Loving Touch Foundation for this 2 day hands on, inspiring & intensive certification training.

Babies and parents alike benefit from this ancient tradition that has been practiced around the world for centuries and is now being rediscovered here in the United States. Research shows that infants who are massaged daily sleep better, have less colic and gain weight faster. Their parents have decreased stress and anxiety and develop more confidence in their parenting skills. Benefits for mothers & non- carrying partners learning infant massage while they are pregnant include decreased stress & anxiety, increased bonding with their fetus, enhanced birth plans, & partner bonding. For babies with developmental delays and disabilities the research demonstrated multiple benefits which will be discussed in the certification training. An adaptation framework will be provided & multiple opportunities for observation & reflection of parents with their babies in massage.

Each instructor training includes LIVE DEMONSTRATION CLASSES WITH LOCAL FAMILIES! Please contact your instructor if you know of families who may want to attend the parent-baby classes with their child. Times vary based on the course. Contact your instructor for more information & the local flyer for families.
