Is this course right for you?

The 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 Cornwall means you learn hands-on in a small group, practising with dolls and observing a real parent-and-baby session under Wanda Cox’s guidance.

• Format: In person in Cornwall
• Location: Cornwall, ON, Canada
• Language: English
• IAIM Trainer: Wanda Cox

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.

Becoming a certified instructor

Your learning continues after the final day. You will complete a practical certification with real families and a written assignment, with guidance from Wanda Cox, before qualifying as a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI). You can then teach in private, group, hospital and community settings across Canada, and keep developing through continuing education.
