Common hesitation Clinical + practical

If you’re thinking, “Massage won’t work for my kids…”

You’re not treating calm babies in quiet rooms. You’re supporting kids who are fussy, wiggly, sensory defensive, shut down, or overwhelmed — right when you’re trying to get to the “real therapy.”

Here’s the shift

This isn’t “infant massage” as a cute add-on. It’s a clinical regulation tool — used intentionally to help children transition into a state where participation, feeding, and learning can actually happen.

You’ll learn how to start with the child you have in front of you — then use touch strategically to support state control, smoother transitions, and caregiver carryover.

Built for real sessions across NICU, EI, outpatient, and home visits.

In this training, you’ll get

  • 2 core strokes demonstrated
  • A simple “when to use touch” clinical guide
  • Adaptations across ages 0–9 + common diagnoses
  • Routine-based coaching language that actually sticks
Translation: less chaos at the start of sessions — more progress in the middle.

If you’ve ever…

You’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong.

These are the exact moments this method was built for.

The challenge

What it feels like in real life

  • Starting with a crying baby and thinking, “Here we go again…”
  • Parents nodding yes—but the home program still doesn’t happen.
  • Sessions turning into constant calming instead of progress.
  • Transitions creating a meltdown that takes over the whole visit.
  • Feeling like your best strategies simply aren’t landing.
  • Completing CEUs that give you theory—but not tools you can implement tomorrow.
What becomes possible

What you’ll be able to do instead

  • Use two demonstrated strokes to help children shift from fussy to focused.
  • Know when to use touch—and when to pause—using a simple clinical guide.
  • Adapt the method across ages 0–9 and common diagnoses, including ASD, ADHD, cerebral palsy, and feeding challenges.
  • Coach caregivers in a way that fits naturally into routines, so carryover is more likely to happen.

The system

The 4-Step CIMC Method™

This is the repeatable structure behind the results—so you’re not piecing together random techniques.

Ground + connect

Start sessions with regulation and connection so participation can happen.

Coach with confidence

Use language and routine-embedded coaching that caregivers can actually follow through on.

Customize without overwhelm

Use one method adapted across ages, sensory profiles, diagnoses, and settings.

Integrate like a pro

Make the method measurable and clinically defensible—not “just calming.”

Proof from the field

Here’s what happened when therapists applied this method.

Real feedback from pediatric providers using these techniques across settings and diagnoses.

Up to age 9
“I’m seeing significantly decreased arousal levels with kiddos up to 9 years old with ASD when I begin sessions with massage.”

Jessica L., OTR/L

School-based
“This isn’t just for babies—I use it with my entire school-based caseload, K–3. Kids with ADHD can actually focus after just 3 minutes.”

Jordan K., School-Based OT, OH

Early Intervention
“My EI caseload is 18 months to 3 years. This has become my go-to for every kid—especially runners and sensory avoiders.”

Michelle P., Early Intervention OT, IN

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers so you can decide whether this free live training is right for you.

Is this training only for infants?

No. This method applies from NICU babies through school-age children. You’ll learn how to adapt the same clinical framework across ages, sensory profiles, diagnoses, and settings—including Early Intervention, outpatient care, and school-based practice.

Do I need prior massage experience?

Not at all. This training is designed to be simple, practical, and immediately usable. You’ll see what to do, when to use it, and how to adjust based on the child’s regulation state and cues.

Will you demonstrate the strokes live?

Yes. You’ll watch two massage strokes demonstrated live and see how each one fits within a pediatric clinical lens. The focus is on practical application, clinical reasoning, and caregiver carryover.

Can I get CEUs for this free training?

The free webinar does not offer CEUs. However, Laura will briefly share information at the end about the full Certified Infant Massage Coach (CIMC) course for those who want to go deeper.

The certification is a two-day training that includes 14 contact hours, hands-on instruction, and practical clinical application. Participation in this free training does not require enrolling in the certification.

What if I work with autism, ADHD, feeding disorders, or cerebral palsy?

You’re in the right place. The training includes real-world application across common pediatric presentations, including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, sensory processing needs, and feeding challenges. You’ll see how to adapt the method according to the child’s cues and regulation state.

Will there be a replay?

This experience is designed to be attended live. If a replay is made available, it will be offered for a limited time. Live attendees can ask questions, follow the demonstrations in real time, and receive the live-attendee bonus revealed during the training.

Who is this training best for?

This training is designed for pediatric OTs, PTs, SLPs, Early Intervention providers, nurses, lactation consultants, massage therapists, doulas, and other pediatric healthcare professionals who want a clear, repeatable method for supporting regulation, improving session flow, and strengthening caregiver carryover.
