Our IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) trained midwife will teach you a variety of massage strokes and styles, how to vary pressure, rhythm, length of the massage and how to respond to the infant’s body language.

Infant massage is tailored for all babies between 1-12 months of age. The benefits of Infant Massage include bonding between the parent and the baby. It secures the attachment and builds the foundation of a strong and healthy relationship. You will learn the baby’s non-verbal language and communicate via loving, nurturing touch.

Infant massage also promotes the release of endorphins (the anti-stress hormone) which is beneficial for both parent and baby. It may also assist in your baby’s sleep and relief of pain and tension.

Includes:

3 sessions of Infant Massage course facilitated by a IAIM trained instructor

Course Content:

In each of the three sessions, you will be taken through a series of different activities that incorporate massage, healthy touch, voice, eye contact and many other interactions. You and your baby are BOTH students in the class and the baby usually takes a little longer than us adults to adapt, familiarise and accept massage in their lives. The IAIM Infant Massage Program is run at the pace of the babies in the class.

Also, please do not worry that your baby might be unsettled or squirmy during the class. ALL babies are welcomed and be themselves! The purpose of the program is not to "force" a baby to have a massage during the sessions, but to give you skills and knowledge that you can use at home and throughout your baby's development.

We do massage WITH a baby, not TO a baby.
