Your learning journey

You will explore how nurturing touch supports bonding and secure attachment, and look at the evidence behind the benefits of infant massage for babies and their families.

Certification and beyond

Your learning continues after the final day. You will complete a practical certification with real families and a written assignment, with guidance from Montse Soler, before qualifying as a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI).
