Who this training is for

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. 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

Your learning journey

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

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. Mary Beattie 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.
