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. 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 the course covers

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. Mary Beattie will also cover the adaptations IAIM instructors use for premature babies, babies with additional needs and older, more active infants.

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.
