Who this training is for

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. The sessions are streamed live, so you learn alongside other participants and can ask Kelley MacArthur questions as you go, without the cost of travel.

• Format: Live online (taught via live stream)
• Language: English
• IAIM Trainer: Kelley MacArthur
• Qualification: Certified Infant Massage Educator (CEIM), after completing certification

Inside the training

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.

After the training

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