Who should attend

The training is open to anyone who works with babies and families: midwives, nurses, health visitors, doulas, physiotherapists, early-years educators and childminders, as well as parents who would like to share infant massage in their community. No previous massage experience is needed. The sessions are streamed live, so you learn alongside other participants and can ask Mary Beattie questions as you go, without the cost of travel.

• 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

Over the course you will work through the IAIM 15-point core curriculum created by our founder, Vimala McClure. You will learn the full infant massage routine, how to teach it to parents rather than massaging babies yourself, and how to adapt each stroke as a baby grows from birth to one year. Time is also given to babies born prematurely and babies with additional needs.

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.
