Infant-Driven Education
OUR MISSION: To improve the lives of babies and families through excellent neonatal caregiver education and skill development.
OUR VISION: For each neonatal caregiver to understand the tremendous impact they have on the infants and families they serve, and to provide care accordingly.
Educational Training Videos on Swaddled Bathing & Skin-to-Skin Holding
Our portfolio of instructional videos increase the knowledge and skill of healthcare providers, while giving parents an enhanced understanding, ability, and ease in caring for their infant. Videos are available in both English & Spanish for parents and can be licensed for hospital intranet viewing!
Neonatal Touch & Massage Certification (NTMC)™
NTMC is an exclusively neonatal, one-of-a-kind certification for neonatal healthcare providers. It 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.
Seminars, Workshops & On-Line Education
Creative Therapy Consultants provides innovative educational opportunities both on-line and in person. Participants are able to change practice and implement new techniques immediately upon returning to their NICU. Best of all, the programs can be completely customized to meet your NICU’s needs!
OMG! What an amazing day!! You were absolutely amazing and I appreciate everything you had to say. I learned so much today. I thought I was doing things correctly, but I learned today that I wasn’t.
As a new OT in the NICU this was great information! I have an amazing and experienced mentor, but I loved gaining information from current research and sharing it with her as well!
Amazing and current literature resources and overall content!
Loved it – Loved your teaching style and knowledge. Thank you for sharing your passion with the world and making the NICU a better place! Wonderful course, wonderful presenter, wonderful experience! It’s very difficult to find an advanced course specifically for the NICU and this course delivered!!
This was an extremely helpful online education opportunity which gave me some great review as well as new insight into what I can bring to my NICU babes, parents, and other staff in my NICU. Thank you!
Excellent training experience: Presenters were so positive and it was evident that they have a contagious passion for giving the best care to our littlest humans. I feel empowered to better care for my patients and their families.
I really enjoyed your style of teaching/presentation, including hands on, video and a complete handout. I appreciate the collaboration for all the disciplines. Continue the good work!
