Who can take part

You do not need a background in massage to join. Most participants come from health, social care, education or therapy roles, and many are parents who have experienced infant massage with their own children and now want to teach it to other families. The sessions are streamed live, so you learn alongside other participants and can ask Jody Wright questions as you go, without the cost of travel.

What the course covers

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.
