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.

Certification and beyond

Your learning continues after the final day. You will complete a practical certification with real families and a written assignment, with guidance from Mary Beattie, before qualifying as a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI). You can then teach in private, group, hospital and community settings across the UK, and keep developing through continuing education.
