"The Nurturing NICU Workshop presents a thorough education on the aspects of touch in the NICU with a developmental care perspective. The visuals presented offered opportunities to see touch in action; the handouts were useful and informative and gave me the confidence I needed to begin a touch therapy program where I am employed. This workshop was presented with integrity by all the speakers, who each had a broad knowledge base in their specialty and I had a wonderful time networking with other NICU nurses."

"The Nursing staff found Carolyn to be an excellent teacher with not only a great deal of information about massage, but also a clear understanding of how to apply this to the preterm infant. Having Carolyn come to our facility enabled a much greater number of staff to hear directly from the expert, which increased their motivation to start the program".

"The step-by-step instructions in the clinical application and implementation of a touch therapy program have given me the last bit of confidence I felt I needed to begin a program in our NICU".

"I believe the Nurturing NICU is a most valuable training for establishing a hospital-based program for parents and their medically fragile infants. Teaching parents the information and techniques I learned at the workshop helps the parents to be an integral part of their baby's growth and healing".
