Who this training is for

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. Training in person in West Midlands gives you plenty of time to practise the strokes, ask questions and receive direct feedback from Crystal Miles.

• Format: In person in West Midlands
• Location: West Midlands, England, UK
• Language: English
• IAIM Trainer: Crystal Miles
• Qualification: Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), after completing certification

What you will learn

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.

Certification and beyond

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. Crystal Miles 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 the UK for ongoing support.
