Is this course right for you?

IAIM instructors come from many walks of life. On this course you are likely to meet midwives and nurses, psychologists, social workers, baby-group leaders, yoga teachers and parents, all sharing an interest in supporting early bonding through loving touch. Meeting in Wiltshire means you learn hands-on in a small group, practising with dolls and observing a real parent-and-baby session under Deborah Wade’s guidance.

• Format: In person in Wiltshire
• Location: Wiltshire, England, UK
• Language: English
• IAIM Trainer: Deborah Wade
• Qualification: Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), 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.

What happens next

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. Deborah Wade 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.
