Genova Italy Infant Massage Instructor Training

Did you know that parents who take a class with IAIM learn much more than just the mechanics of a massage routine?

Our program involves many different styles of touch, movement, interaction and communication.

Both research and anecdotal evidence from families have shown that there are many ways that babies and families may benefit from infant massage.

The benefits for babies can be grouped into four categories: Interaction, Stimulation, Relief and Relaxation and benefits for parents, the entire family and society as a whole are also recognised.

  • For bonding and secure attachment
