SUMMARY:Val David, QC, Canada
DESCRIPTION: Language: French\nLed by IAIM Trainer Sylvie Hétu, this in-person IAIM instructor training in Val David, QC, Canada takes place 14–17 May 2027. Not sure what happens after the training? Our step-by-step guide to becoming a Certified Infant Massage Instructor ( https://iaim.net/become-an-instructor/ ) explains certification, and the training FAQs ( https://iaim.net/faqs-to-become-an-instructor/ ) cover prerequisites and online study. Can’t make these dates? IAIM also offers an IAIM instructor training in Nanaimo starting 18 May 2027 ( https://iaim.net/events/nanaimo-british-colombia/ ) and an IAIM instructor training in Ottawa starting 1 June 2027 ( https://iaim.net/events/ottawa-on-canada/ ).\nWho can take part\nYou do not need a background in massage to join. Most participants come from health, social care, education or therapy roles, and many are parents who have experienced infant massage with their own children and now want to teach it to other families. Training in person in Val-David gives you plenty of time to practise the strokes, ask questions and receive direct feedback from Sylvie Hétu.\n\nFormat: In person in Val-David\nLocation: Val-David, QC, Canada\nLanguage: French\nIAIM Trainer: Sylvie Hétu\nQualification: Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), after completing certification\n\nYour learning journey\nOver the course you will work through the IAIM 15-point core curriculum created by our founder, Vimala McClure ( https://iaim.net/our-founder/ ). You will learn the full infant massage routine, how to teach it to parents rather than massaging babies yourself, and how to adapt each stroke as a baby grows from birth to one year. Time is also given to babies born prematurely and babies with additional needs.\nAfter the training\nAfter the course you begin your certification: you teach a five-session series to families in your community, reflect on your experience and complete an open-book exam. Sylvie Hétu supports you throughout, and once certified you become a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI). As an IAIM member you can then rely on the IAIM chapter ( https://iaim.net/chapters/ ) in Canada for ongoing support.\nBook your place\nTo reserve your place, or to ask about fees and course materials, contact Sylvie Hétu directly. You can use the Contact Trainer button on this page or email shetu@securenet.net ( mailto:shetu@securenet.net ). You can also compare other dates and locations on the upcoming trainings calendar ( https://iaim.net/upcoming-trainings/ ).\nMain Calendar ( https://iaim.net/upcoming-trainings/ )\n
