Who this training is for

IAIM instructors come from many walks of life. On this course you are likely to meet midwives and nurses, psychologists, social workers, baby-group leaders, yoga teachers and parents, all sharing an interest in supporting early bonding through loving touch. Meeting in London means you learn hands-on in a small group, practising with dolls and observing a real parent-and-baby session under Crystal Miles’s guidance.

Inside the training

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

After the training

Certification is completed in your own community: you teach a full series of classes to parents, document the experience and sit an open-book exam. When you pass, you become a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI) and join a worldwide network of instructors, supported locally by your national chapter in the UK.
