Hello, my name is Rena’ Powell, 

I have been a pediatric occupational therapist for over 30 years. I became a Certified Infant Massage Instructor in 1995 through IAIM®- International Association of Infant Massage and I have utilized infant massage in my occupational therapy practice, early intervention, and teaching parent and caregiver baby classes. I also enjoy giving presentations to local groups and setting up booths at health fairs and community events. 

In 2005, I became a Certified International Instructor Trainer through Infant Massage WINC (d/b/a for IAIM®) and began teaching CIMI® - Certified Infant Massage Instructor training’s in Florida, Alabama and surrounding states. 

I grew up in Alabama and I attended University of Alabama in Birmingham and I worked as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant in Mobile, Alabama. I attended Florida International University in Miami, Florida and became an occupational therapist and worked in the public-school system and private practices in Dade and Broward counties for over 10 years. In 1990 I moved to the panhandle of Florida to be near family in Alabama.  

I am very passionate about this work and it is very rewarding to teach and share with others. I love teaching the TRIAD Model™, Nurturing Touch and Compassionate Communication through Infant Massage WINC to help the infant, child, caregivers and family development last a lifetime.
