Dublin, Ireland (Online Livestream)

Language: English

Gail Bovenizer taught this live online infant massage instructor training online for participants in Ireland in September 2026, with the course delivered in English. If you missed it, check the upcoming trainings for the next course near you, or learn about the steps to certification.

Who should attend

You 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. The sessions are streamed live, so you learn alongside other participants and can ask Gail Bovenizer questions as you go, without the cost of travel.

• Format: Live online (taught via live stream)
• Language: English
• IAIM Trainer: Gail Bovenizer
• Qualification: Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), after completing certification

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 Ireland.
