Who should attend

IAIM instructors come from many walks of life. On this course you are likely to meet midwives and nurses, psychologists, social workers, baby-group leaders, yoga teachers and parents, all sharing an interest in supporting early bonding through loving touch. Meeting in Liverpool means you learn hands-on in a small group, practising with dolls and observing a real parent-and-baby session under Deborah Wade’s guidance.

What the course covers

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.

After the training

Once you have finished the training, you join IAIM as a member and work towards certification with Deborah Wade’s support. Certified instructors teach parents in homes, clinics, hospitals and community centres, and many go on to give talks, run in-service sessions or, after years of experience, train as IAIM Trainers themselves.
