Who this training is for

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. Because the course is taught live online, you can take part from home, as long as you can join every session in real time with your camera switched on.

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

What you will learn

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.

What happens next

Once you have finished the training, you join IAIM as a member and work towards certification with Mary Beattie’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.
