Skills developed through Tummy Time can support an infant through childhood and beyond. Yet, so many babies seem to dislike Tummy Time!

 

This is where you can help change this...

Training as a Tummy Time Play Practitioner via this course will give you the confidence and know-how of this important position for play, with a focus on parent-baby connection via playful interaction, movement and sensory play.

We debunk common myths, and share practical ways to make tummy time an enjoyable experiences from birth with Paediatric OT approved Tummy Time play. Creating fun, playful connected time between parent and baby, supporting emotional wellbeing and development, we bring the power of play the love way to Tummy Time. 

 

I have received 100% positive feedback on the training, and I am yet to find a Tummy Time Practitioner who hasn't been able to support a family in happily bringing this position for play into their daily lives in a variety ways. My practitioners embed their knowledge into their current services as well as create whole courses on Tummy Time and Sensory Play.

Carly makes sure you are fully prepared to go out and hold your own classes with confidence by offering lesson plans, printouts and a fab Facebook community. I held my first workshops last week and I am already booked for this week!

Thank you, Carly!

I have studied Carly's online Tummy Time Practitioners course and I am absolutely blown away with all the content and value she has included. It was a very user-friendly course and easy to follow, with a lot of research and scientific evidence included from the perspective of a Paediatric Occupational Therapist.

Carly's passion for Tummy Time play is infectious! As a fellow Paeds OT I love Tummy Time  and already understood some of the benefits. But Carly's amazing course has completely reframed my thoughts. Her resources are fantastic, making it so easy to deliver classes. I can't recommend this course enough!

Having taught baby massage and yoga for a long time I thought I was clued up, but WOW! I've always been passionate about using Tummy Time as a play tool, but now my understanding of the physiological & developmental benefits runs so much deeper. Having Carly's perspective on this activity has blown my mind!
