Inside the training

Much of the training is practical. You will practise the strokes on a doll, learn to read a baby’s cues, and plan how to run a five-week class for parents. Wanda Cox will also cover the adaptations IAIM instructors use for premature babies, babies with additional needs and older, more active infants.

After the training

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. Wanda Cox 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 Canada for ongoing support.
