Welcome to IAIM

"Being touched and caressed, being massaged, is food for the infant, food as necessary as minerals, vitamins and proteins." Dr Frederick Leboyer

All infant massage instructors certified by IAIM (called CIMIs) throughout the world receive exactly the same programme of practical and theoretical training. They all share the belief that every baby deserves respect, tenderness, warmth and a listening heart and that one gift that we can freely share with them which will promote such respect is infant massage.

". . . I feel closer during massage. We communicate more clearly with each other. I feel happy when I see my daughter smiling as she does during massage."

". . . (Massage) encouraged useful touching that is beneficial to baby; provided more happy times during each day for baby as he enjoys the massages more and more."

". . . (Baby) was much more relaxed and I felt I was able to judge her mood more easily. I learnt to look more closely at the visual cues she was giving."
