Is this course right for you?

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. Training in person in Liverpool gives you plenty of time to practise the strokes, ask questions and receive direct feedback from Deborah Wade.

• Format: In person in Liverpool
• Location: Liverpool, England, UK
• Language: English
• IAIM Trainer: Deborah Wade

What the course covers

The programme follows the internationally recognised IAIM curriculum: the massage strokes, the reasons behind them, and the communication skills you need to guide parents with confidence. You will explore how nurturing touch supports bonding and secure attachment, and look at the evidence behind the benefits of infant massage for babies and their families.

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. Deborah Wade 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 the UK for ongoing support.
