About us - the Australian Chapter of
the International Association of Infant Massage
Teaching infant massage across the globe
The International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) was founded by Vimala McClure and is the first such global organisation. Our theory, curriculum and focus are unique and have been carefully developed and refined through research and practical experience since first introduced in 1976.
In 1992 the IAIM became a truly International organisation with established chapters forming around the world.
Mission Statement
The mission statement of the International Association of Infant Massage and it's Australian Chapter is:
to promote nurturing touch and communication through training, education and research so that parents, caregivers and children are loved, valued and respected throughout the world community.
The organisation symbolises a unity of all people seeking to support nurturing touch in every form.
Our unique capacity is in working to bring together the interests and expertise of parents, caregivers, educators, health care professionals and researchers. This reflects the overall ethos of the association; striving together to support parents in creating a nurturing environment for them and their child.
