Parent and carer infant massage testimonials
IAIM Certified Infant Massage Instructors (CIMIs) are trained to deliver the same tried and tested syllabus wherever they are in the world. The course materials are reviewed on a regular basis by our central body, collating and acting on CIMI observations, participant feedback and the latest scientific research. Here are some of the comments we have received from parents and carers who learnt to massage their baby with the IAIM.
IAIM classes help you to develop an understanding of your baby’s needs, in a relaxed and welcoming environment
- I enjoy massage myself, so I hoped Olivia would enjoy it too. I learned better to read her body language and what she is trying to tell me. I can now recognise her sensitivities and respond to meet her comforts better. K Chapman
- It is wonderful to see how receptive Charlotte is to touch and massage in just a matter of weeks. She gets excited at the beginning of a massage now. We look forward to many years of massage and can't wait until she can learn to massage us! S Morris
IAIM classes give you an understanding of the physiological and emotional benefits of infant massage
- Previously I was just rubbing oil with no reason, now I know why I am massaging. A much better experience. S Rahjamati
- I came with no knowledge or expectations and left with a great experience and lots of info about Baby Massage. T Treah
IAIM classes are perfect for babies and carers with special needs
- At 3 months my GP thought I was at risk of postnatal depression (my mother had psychosis). I found the massage classes very helpful
- I have learned that massaging my baby can help me cope with difficult circumstances in a more positive frame of mind
- The classes made me much more at ease with my baby physically and therefore strengthened the bond between us. I was unsure of how much I could touch her, of whether I would be hurting her. I now massage her daily
IAIM classes help both you and your baby relax
- I lost the fear of touching and handling my baby and the class allowed us time to relax together. Massage helped with colic and helped him to get to sleep with the singing we learned
- My baby is much calmer now with less periods of discomfort
- It was easy to follow, I enjoyed it, my baby enjoyed it and it was very soothing. R Settree
IAIM classes are informal and fun!
- A good way to learn how to spend some quality time with bub. K Cullen
- A fun and insightful time. S Fozard
- It was fantastic! L Mathie
