Is this course right for you?

Whether you already support families in your work or are taking a first step into a new role, this course gives you an internationally recognised qualification and a clear, respectful method for teaching parents. It suits health and childcare professionals, therapists and parents alike. Meeting in Clermont-Ferrand means you learn hands-on in a small group, practising with dolls and observing a real parent-and-baby session under Sivan Cieutat’s guidance.

• Format: In person in Clermont-Ferrand
• Location: Clermont-Ferrand, France
• Language: French
• IAIM Trainer: Sivan Cieutat
• Qualification: Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), after completing certification

Your learning journey

Over the course you will work through the IAIM 15-point core curriculum created by our founder, Vimala McClure. 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.

What happens next

After 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. Sivan Cieutat 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 in France for ongoing support.
