SUMMARY:Vaughan Park Anglican Retreat Centre, Auckland, New Zealand / Aotearoa
DESCRIPTION: Language: English\nLed by IAIM Trainer P-J McCrea, this in-person IAIM instructor training in Auckland, New Zealand takes place 18–21 February 2027. The course is taught in English. 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. Looking for a training in another country? See the IAIM instructor training in Escazú, Costa Rica starting 22 April 2027 ( https://iaim.net/events/iaim-training-in-costa-rica/ ) or the IAIM instructor training in Brussels starting 23 April 2027 ( https://iaim.net/events/brussels-belgium/ ).\nWho should attend\nThe training is open to anyone who works with babies and families: midwives, nurses, health visitors, doulas, physiotherapists, early-years educators and childminders, as well as parents who would like to share infant massage in their community. No previous massage experience is needed. Meeting in Auckland means you learn hands-on in a small group, practising with dolls and observing a real parent-and-baby session under P-J McCrea’s guidance.\n\nFormat: In person in Auckland\nLocation: Vaughan Park Anglican Retreat Centre, Auckland, New Zealand\nLanguage: English\nIAIM Trainer: P-J McCrea\nQualification: Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), after completing certification\n\nYour learning journey\nThe programme follows the internationally recognised IAIM curriculum: the massage strokes, the reasons behind them, and the communication skills you need to guide parents with confidence. You will explore how nurturing touch supports bonding and secure attachment, and look at the evidence behind the benefits of infant massage ( https://iaim.net/benefits/ ) for babies and their families.\nCertification and beyond\nOnce you have finished the training, you join IAIM as a member and work towards certification with P-J McCrea’s support. Certified instructors teach parents in homes, clinics, hospitals and community centres, and many go on to give talks, run in-service sessions or, after years of experience, train as IAIM Trainers ( https://iaim.net/become-an-iaim-trainer/ ) themselves.\nQuestions and bookings\nPlaces are limited, so get in touch with P-J McCrea early. Use the Contact Trainer details on this page. Want to know more about the people who lead these courses?
