We offer a lovely way for you to enjoy the nurturing benefits of infant massage in a fun, 5 week course for parents and their babies, from birth to pre-crawling. 

Through this baby massage course you will learn a skill that can last a lifetime and enjoy some pampering yourself ( complimentary massage for mum included) 

                                                  VIRTUAL BABY MASSAGE COURSE

Historically and traditionally the IAIM programme has always been a face to face programme, and it will return to only being a face to face programme after this unprecedented time. Infant massage is an ancient art that has passed down through generations as a hands on expression of love, and we honour our ancestors in this tradition through our live teaching. 

Our programme is based on connection. The human touch that takes place in our classes goes beyond physical touch, it's a presence. Through shared learning experiences, receiving feedback (both directly and indirectly) about the interactions taking place between parents and babies and the value that is gained through sharing space with peers and class discussions, we see the benefits. ⁣Living, breathing, touching experience.⁣ Our programme is so much more than learning strokes. ⁣

Our worldwide circle of 63 trainers and our founder Vimala McClure, with much love, have deliberated on how we can keep the integrity and ethos of the IAIM alive and still reach out to support families during this unique period of social distancing.

The UK Chapter is proud to announce that the IAIM programme for isolation is ready to share with our families. The IAIM is renowned for being the gold standard in Infant Massage training and as such recognised that much care and consideration as to the safety of parents and babies was needed in preparation of an online offering. Our programme has always been so much more than simply massage strokes, keeping parents and babies at the heart of what we do. We look forward to sharing nurturing touch and warm listening, safely, with families across the country during this unique and unprecendented time until we can meet again.
