Respecting Babies, Supporting Families

The NZ Chapter of the
International Association of Infant Massage

Picture
​The purpose of the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) 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.

About IAIM around the world

IAIM was founded by Vimala McClure. Its theory, curriculum and focus are unique and have been carefully developed since being introduced in 1976. The first instructor was trained by Vimala in 1978. It is an international, non-profit making, organisation which is now represented worldwide, in more than 30 countries.

Vimala developed this infant massage programme through careful research and practical experience, incorporating Indian and Swedish massage strokes, with some ideas from reflexology and yoga.

Vimala has written a book "Handbook for Loving Parents" which is essential reading for anyone who is interested in training to be an infant massage instructor or who wishes to find out more about the subject so that they can learn how to massage their own baby.

IAIM NZ is one of many Chapters of IAIM around the world.  Infant Massage Instructors trained by IAIM learn the same techniques and strokes.  This means that in NZ we share the same loving, nurturing, respectful communication with parents and carers as is being shared all around the world.   Here are a few of our sister Chapters.....
