Who can take part

Whether you already support families in your work or are taking a first step into a new role, this course gives you an internationally recognised qualification and a clear, respectful method for teaching parents.

Because the course is taught live online, you can take part from home, as long as you can join every session in real time with your camera switched on.

• Format: Live online (taught via live stream)
• Language: English

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

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 Joann Lewis, 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.
