Who can take part
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. Training in person in London gives you plenty of time to practise the strokes, ask questions and receive direct feedback from Crystal Miles.

Your learning journey
You will learn how to teach parents to massage their own babies in a way that respects the baby’s cues and invites them to take part. The sessions cover the complete IAIM massage sequence, relaxation and attachment, easing colic and wind, and how to plan and lead classes in your own setting, all rooted in the philosophy of Vimala McClure.
Becoming a certified instructor
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. Crystal Miles 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.
