What the course covers

Over the course you will work through the IAIM 15-point core curriculum created by our founder, Vimala McClure. You will learn the full infant massage routine, how to teach it to parents rather than massaging babies yourself, and how to adapt each stroke as a baby grows from birth to one year. Time is also given to babies born prematurely and babies with additional needs.

What happens next

Your learning continues after the final day. You will complete a practical certification with real families and a written assignment, with guidance from Deborah Wade, before qualifying as a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI). You can then teach in private, group, hospital and community settings across the UK, and keep developing through continuing education.
