Haley B OTR/L

This is one of the best trainings I have taken and it ties in so perfectly with OT. Michelle, I really enjoyed all of it. I got so much out of it!! I’m looking forward to sharing it with the babies and families I work with. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Repetition

Lydia H SLP

I learned so much from this training and I'm grateful to be able to view the modules as many times as I need. The information is deep, I am diving in and loving it, thank you!

Changed my entire practice

Sarah L DPT

Prior to taking the training, I was unaware it included education and integration of nervous system regulation and resiliency. This is a game changer, not only for how I do 'tummy time', but how i engage and work with all babies and families.

Samantha M. SLP

I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed Michelle’s TummyTime! Method course! I appreciated how self-paced it can be— allowing for lots of processing (and practice!) between modules. I am a SLP and CLC and I use what I learned regularly to prepare my infant patients for a feed. I’ve found that here’s such little direction given to parents other than “put them on their belly”. I’ve gotten great feedback from parents and plan to continue using the TTM in my practice!

The program investment is $850.00 and includes: TTM training, monthly mentoring sessions on Zoom and ongoing support and resources
