IAIM (The Intentional Association of Infant Massage) was the vision and brainchild of Vimala Schneider McClure, author of the book "Infant Massage", and was founded in the USA in 1981. Its aim is to integrate the ancient art of infant massage with the parenting traditions of the west. The IAIM is different from other examining bodies in that it has been teaching and examining Infant Massage courses for over 15 years.
The fact that the IAIM specialise only in Infant Massage has led to a unique and very special course, for which there is a huge demand throughout the world. The IAIM has trainers and instructors in 25 countries across the world. The school we promote for this course is well respected and has been established for 15 years and brings these experienced and internationally respected trainers to the UK from Sweden, Canada and the United States.
Trainers go through a programme of spiritual and personal development as part of their training over a number of years; it is believed that this forms the essence of the very special course that can now be undertaken in the UK. The Infant Massage Instructor Certification Training course will fully equip students to be able to teach infant massage to parents, to enhance bonding, improve healthy development of the infant and provide support for the parent.
60 CPD course points has been awarded for this course by the beauty guild - please check with who you registered with for their guidelines on how many points they award for one day courses as they all differ.
The Infant massage courses have a maximum of 22 of students on each course.
The individual students are responsible for arranging their own teaching sessions (advice is given on this during the course).
