Who should attend

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 Montreal means you learn hands-on in a small group, practising with dolls and observing a real parent-and-baby session under Jasmine Bouchardy’s guidance.

• Format: In person in Montreal
• Location: Montreal, QC, Canada
• Language: French
• IAIM Trainer: Jasmine Bouchardy

What you will learn

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.

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 Jasmine Bouchardy, before qualifying as a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI). You can then teach in private, group, hospital and community settings across Canada, and keep developing through continuing education.
