Testimonials
I absolutely love everything about the neonatal touch and massage from the original certification to even the past two recertification’s I have completed. I really appreciate how each recertification has been more advanced and not just a repeat. I cannot thank all of you enough for the knowledge and growth your certification has enabled me to have as a clinician.

Amy Levin, RN
Kara Ann is completely passionate and knowledgeable about the quality of care in the NICU. She is totally engaging, interesting and compassionate. I wasn’t bored for one moment during 2 full days of learning. Kara Ann is very generous about sharing her knowledge and her time. She definitely wants to create quality therapists who will succeed in the NICU. You feel as though you are totally supported in your NICU endeavors. I highly recommend this course. I expect that it will elevate my practice significantly.
Stefanie Steinberger, PT
I really liked the videos because it demonstrated implementation of the techniques, location of trigger points, parent teaching/education, positioning and so many other helpful things in addition to the main topic or purpose of the video. The exemplar helped me reflect on what I had accomplished rather than focus on how much more I would like/need to do – which can seem overwhelming sometimes. And, as you said in your comments writing also helped me reflect on what I would like to work on next (in addition to keeping the momentum going on the current projects). Thank you for your work in getting the re-certification program together and for your ongoing support in-between!
Jeanne Meinert, PT
