​
I will never massage your baby - because, as a parent, you are the best qualified person to do so. I will demonstrate the strokes on a baby doll, give information, encourage discussion and create a safe, warm and welcoming environment.
A typical IAIM course consists of five classes, once a week (approximately 1.5 hours each). After completing the course I encourage parents to continue massaging their babies at home. 
​
​You will learn about the oils we use for massaging the baby, the baby's cues and how to respond to them, the baby's crying (why babies cry and what types of cries exist) and how to adjust the massage to a growing child. You will also learn about relaxation, parent empowerment, bonding and attachment, empathy, respect and communication.

More about the program:

The IAIM stands for International Association of Infant Massage. Their program is being spread with love and dedication throughout the world community by thousands of IAIM certified instructors who have received exclusive education through IAIM qualified trainers. I am honored to be one of them. 
At the center of the IAIM program are the parents and their babies.  The parent is seen as the expert and the best person to give the baby a massage. The baby is the teacher from whom the parents learn so much! The instructor (that would be me) is the support, the one "holding the space" in which the magic happens.
