How Nurses Use Infant Massage in their work | infantmassage.info | Learn Infant Massage from a Leader in the Field

The following are comments from my Infant Massage Certification Training participants who are nurses:

“I just wanted to take a moment to again thank you for your wonderful instruction and guidance during your course. This whole educational experience from our 4 day course to teaching my own classes has been one of the most enjoyable and impactful experiences I have had. As I mentioned during our time together, I intended to use this new knowledge and share this skill with parents that I work with in the pediatric critical care unit. I went back to work part-time this past week. I am eager to provide education and empower parents in this space. But what I didn’t realize was my desire to offer a platform for this beautiful work in my own community. As a new mom myself, I have been amazed by this parent community and activity calendar that I have been so fortunate to embrace. I do believe that one’s experience with motherhood is significantly impacted by the community around them. Being able to offer something so positive and fun to other parents would be a dream! Being able to support, guide and provide this resource to families in my own municipality really sparks joy.” – 2025 Trainee

“Even as a RN, BSN, RNC-MNN, CLC & IBCLC & NRP Instructor, I still learned new things about babies & their ‘language’ – the strokes were just a small part of the class.” – RNC-MNN = registered nurse clinician in maternal newborn nursing.

Nurses and other medical professionals can offer parents infant massage instruction when they see that a parent is struggling with issues of connection, lack of an understanding of their babies cues, depression, or a specific diagnosis that would be aided by daily nurturing touch.

“I really enjoyed being part of the training and meeting others who work in different fields yet share the same interest in teaching infant massage. This training was highly beneficial to my overall learning and understanding of infants.”

“I’m a labor and delivery/special care nurse. I always say that in that field I’m not just a part of a family’s birth experience. I’m creating memories. Infant Massage in the memory I want to create with my new mothers and families with infants.”

“I’ve been a pediatric nurse for a long time but this experience helped me to see babies and their needs in a whole new perspective.”

“This training was wonderful and informative. As a clinician I use evidence-based practice to support my practice. And I was surprised to see all of the evidence that supports infant massage as a healing and beneficial tool. I’m excited to share what I have learned with parents and co-workers. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful healing information. – Patrice Davis RN, IBCLC

“Parents can feel very helpless in the hospital and Infant Massage is a great tool to give them more of a role in the hospital.”
