What you’re getting
The Therapeutic Touch Session Starter Kit
A short, repeatable sequence to support regulation, connection, and smoother
transitions — without adding more to your session.
Less than the cost of a single co-pay.
3 strokes demonstrated on video + full session toolkit. Less than the cost of a single co-pay.
The real problem
You Know It Belongs in Your Sessions.
Using It With Confidence Is a Different Thing.
You know therapeutic touch belongs in your sessions. You’ve seen it referenced in training materials. You understand the nervous system rationale. You might have even tried it — and felt uncertain about whether you were doing it right, when to stop, or what the child’s response actually meant.
Most providers in this position do one of three things: they wait until they feel more confident (which never comes), they improvise in the moment and hope for the best, or they skip it entirely and reach for something more familiar.
None of those options serves the children on your caseload.
“This routine works best before escalation — not after.”
What’s actually missing isn’t more information about therapeutic touch. It’s a clear, repeatable sequence you can reach for the moment you walk in the door — with enough clinical context that you know exactly what you’re doing and why.
The solution
Not a Theory. Not a Framework. A Routine You Can Use Today.
The Therapeutic Touch Session Starter Kit gives you a specific 2–3 minute sequence — demonstrated on video, explained clinically, and formatted as a reference you can open during your session if you need it.
It takes less time than a transition activity. And it creates the neurological conditions that make everything else you do in the session work better.
Keep strokes slow, predictable, and consistent. Less is more. That’s the entire clinical principle behind this routine — and the video demo shows you exactly what that looks like in practice.
Three complete stroke tutorials
Legs, Feet, and Back — Demonstrated on Video
A complete 2–3 minute sequence demonstrated via QR code so you can watch, pause, and practice at your
own pace. Each stroke includes exact timing, pressure guidance, and clinical context for when and why to use it.
Stroke 01 — Start Here
Legs
Slow, rhythmic strokes from thigh to foot. 30–60 seconds. Helps organize the body and reduce initial tension before any other intervention.
OTPT
EILMT
Stroke 02 — Grounding
Feet
Gentle, steady pressure across the sole. 30 seconds. Supports calming and body awareness — grounding the child before transitions or feeding.
OTPT
SLPLC
Stroke 03 — Finish Here
Back
Long, slow strokes from shoulders to lower back. 60 seconds. Encourages full-body relaxation and regulation — the closing stroke that consolidates the routine.

Who this is for
Built for Every Provider Who Works With Infants and Young Children
This kit was built for pediatric OTs, PTs, SLPs, licensed massage therapists, early intervention
providers, lactation consultants, doulas, and nurses who work directly with infants and young children.
Occupational Therapist
Regulation-first approach before any sensory or ADL work
Physical Therapist
Primes the neuromuscular system before movement activities
Speech-Language Pathologist
Pre-feeding regulation sequence that reduces tension and improves readiness
Licensed Massage Therapist
A pediatric clinical framework that opens referral pathways with therapy teams
Lactation Consultant / Doula
Pre-feed calming routine that supports latch, bonding, and caregiver confidence
Nurse / EI Provider / Dev. Therapist
Evidence-based regulation tool that transfers directly to the home environment
You don’t need prior massage training. You don’t need special equipment.
You need a reliable starting point for regulation — and the clinical language
to explain what you’re doing and why.
★★★★★
“I watched the stroke demo three times before my first session. By the second week
I was teaching it to parents. I’m seeing significantly decreased arousal levels
from my kiddos — up to 9 years old with ASD — when I begin sessions with massage.
I wish I’d had this from the start.”

What’s inside
The Therapeutic Touch Session Starter Kit
Built for real pediatric sessions — not ideal conditions. Every section maps
directly to a moment you will encounter in your next session.
When to Use This Routine
When you notice dysregulation, fussiness, difficulty transitioning, reduced engagement, or a caregiver who isn’t sure what to do. Use it before escalation — not after.
The 3-Step Calming Touch Sequence
The full legs → feet → back sequence with timing, technique, and clinical purpose for each step. The whole routine takes 2–3 minutes.
What to Watch For
Signs it’s working — slower movements, relaxed posture, calmer breathing, increased eye contact. Signs to adjust — squirming, increased tension, avoiding touch. What to do when you see each.
How to Use in Real Sessions
Before feeding or positioning, during transitions, as part of a calming routine, while coaching caregivers. This fits into what you’re already doing — it’s not extra.
Clinical Reminder
You don’t need a long routine. 2–3 minutes of consistent, calm touch will always outperform complex techniques done inconsistently.
What changes after your next session:
Nervous system regulation
A predictable, sequenced routine gives the child’s nervous system something consistent to respond to — session after session.
Predictability and safety
Children regulate faster when touch follows the same sequence. You’ll notice the shift — often within the first minute.
Increased engagement
A regulated child participates. Use the routine before any activity — feeding, positioning, fine motor, speech — and watch engagement improve.
Confident caregivers
When parents can do the routine at home, carryover happens. The kit gives you the language to teach it in under five minutes.
A note on the price
Why $17
The Therapeutic Touch Session Starter Kit is $17. It’s priced that way because it’s a focused, practical tool — not a course, not a certification, not a comprehensive training program.
It does one thing: gives you a repeatable, video-demonstrated session routine you can use immediately.
If you want the full clinical method, the evidence base, diagnosis-specific adaptations, documentation tools, and 1.4 CEUs, that’s the Certified Infant Massage Coach course — a different investment for a different purpose.
This is the starting point. Use it in your next session. Decide from there.
Questions providers ask before purchasing:
Is this the same as the free therapeutic touch guide?
No. The free guide explains the conceptual framework — when and why therapeutic touch works. This kit gives you the actual technique: three strokes demonstrated on video with exact timing and pressure for each, a cue-reading table so you know what to watch for, and a session integration guide so you know when to use it. If you have the free guide, this is the logical next step. If you don’t, this kit stands completely on its own.
I don’t have any massage training. Can I still use this?
Yes. No massage background is needed. This was built by a healthcare provider, for healthcare providers. The video demo shows you exactly what to do, and the written guide gives you the clinical context to understand why. Zero prior experience required.
Does this work for older kids — not just infants?
Yes. The routine is shown with adaptations for different ages and presentations including sensory hypersensitivity, ASD, and limited touch tolerance. Providers report using it with children up to 9 years old.
What if my child is hypersensitive to touch?
The cue-reading guide covers exactly this. You’ll learn the signs to adjust — squirming, increased tension, avoiding touch — and what to do when you see them: slow down, reduce pressure, or pause. The routine is designed to be graded, not forced.
How is this different from the full CIMC certification?
The Certified Infant Massage Coach course is a 2-day, 14-contact-hour certification covering 50+ strokes, diagnosis-specific protocols, documentation, billing, and caregiver coaching — approved for 1.4 AOTA CEUs, 1.35 ASHA CEUs, and multiple PT and nursing boards. This kit is a single focused routine at a fraction of the investment. Think of it as the starting point before the full method.
Clinical Reminder
“You don’t need a long routine.”
2–3 minutes of consistent, calm touch will always outperform complex techniques done inconsistently. This kit gives you exactly that — simple enough to teach to a caregiver in your first session.
