No previous massage experience is needed. Meeting in Meyreuil means you learn hands-on in a small group, practising with dolls and observing a real parent-and-baby session under Montse Soler’s guidance.

What you will learn

The programme follows the internationally recognised IAIM curriculum: the massage strokes, the reasons behind them, and the communication skills you need to guide parents with confidence. You will explore how nurturing touch supports bonding and secure attachment, and look at the evidence behind the benefits of infant massage for babies and their families.

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 France.
