Neonatal Touch & Massage Certification Phase III Hands-On Training

Description

Neonatal Touch & Massage Certification is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind certification for neonatal healthcare providers. NTMC™ combines a holistic, neonatal and systems theory approach to massage, with an emphasis on families and nurturing opportunities, while elevating the standard of care that neonatal caregivers provide in their daily practice.

The Certification has been developed with a 3-fold purpose: to help NICU babies, families, and staff. It’s all about maximizing positive long-term development of the infant and giving families the opportunity and tools to bond with their infant. Among other things, you will…

learn specific touch and massage techniques to maximize growth, sleep, and comfort;
sharpen your observation skills of neonates, increase your knowledge of infant development, and raise your understanding of the incredible effects of touch; and
facilitate bonding for infants and parents while optimizing infant development.
