Infant, (or baby) massage is a long-standing parenting tradition in many cultures and reportedly has numerous benefits for both baby and parent.
As a complimentary practitioner, holistic approaches and 'self-help' are essential elements in promoting 'well-being for all' and baby massage is a crucial part of that ethos.
I am a Certified Infant Massage Instructor with IAIM - The International Association of Infant Massage is a global organisation and the world-class standard for the training and teaching of baby massage.
​
The IAIM Mission Statement reads:
The purpose of the International Association of Infant Massage 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.
