Rennes, France

Language: French

In September 2026, IAIM Trainer Montse Soler led this in-person IAIM instructor training in Rennes, France, taught in French. The course has now finished, but new dates are added regularly to our training calendar, and the training FAQs answer the most common questions about becoming an instructor.

Who should attend

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. Meeting in Rennes 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.

• Format: In person in Rennes
• Location: Rennes, France
• Language: French
• IAIM Trainer: Montse Soler
• Qualification: Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), after completing certification

Your learning journey

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

What happens next

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. Montse Soler 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 France for ongoing support.
