With Sylvie Hétu, IAIM international Trainer
Infant Massage is a traditional parenting practice in India and many other parts of the world, where generations of mothers have offered this nurturing touch to their babies. Vimala McClure, the founder of IAIM, having experienced the effect of infant massage while doing volunteer work in India, had the vision that all babies in the world should experience this loving nurturing connection. Her programme is now present in nearly 100 countries on all continents.
Today, countless research conducted worldwide, support the benefits of the IAIM program with impressive results. Neuroscience and psychology researchers are unanimous about the necessity of deliberate, appropriate touch for babies. Training to become an infant massage is joining a worldwide community dedicated to promoting nurturing touch, safely, skillfully, and professionally. This 4
-day intensive online livestream training session is designed for nurses,
physiotherapists, massage therapists, childcare educators, dedicated parents, etc.
Once the training, take home assignment, and practice teaching are completed, the participant will become a qualified infant massage instructor, a CIMI, protected professional title meaning Certified Infant Massage Instructor, enabling them to conduct classes for parents in groups or privately, teaching how to massage their babies. Included are a manual, compendium, book, certification support and certificate. This is an international certification.
