Your learning journey

You will learn how to teach parents to massage their own babies in a way that respects the baby’s cues and invites them to take part. The sessions cover the complete IAIM massage sequence, relaxation and attachment, easing colic and wind, and how to plan and lead classes in your own setting, all rooted in the philosophy of Vimala McClure.

Certification and beyond

Certification is completed in your own community: you teach a full series of classes to parents, document the experience and sit an open-book exam. When you pass, you become a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI) and join a worldwide network of instructors, supported locally by your national chapter in France.
