IAIM baby massage is a gentle and supportive practice that nurtures connection between parents and their babies. Developed by Vimala McClure in the 1970s, it combines elements of Indian and Swedish massage, baby yoga, and reflexology. More than just massage, it offers a space for parents to slow down, tune into their baby’s cues, and build confidence in their own intuition and caregiving. Taught by certified instructors through the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM), the program is now practiced in over 70 countries worldwide.
In my baby massage course, I invite you to explore the wonderful world of communication through touch together with your baby (aged 6 weeks to 12 months). There is no right or wrong way here – what truly matters is that you feel comfortable and deepen the bond with your child in a gentle and trusting way. This is a space where everything is welcome – crying, sleeping, laughing. You are invited to come just as you are, and whatever happens is perfectly okay. I’m truly looking forward to connecting with you and accompanying you and your little one on this journey. Together, we will experience the nurturing power of touch and feel the parent–child connection in a new and deeper way.
