The ORIGINAL IAIM®, Incorporated in the USA since 1986   Welcome to the International Association of Infant Massage where we believe that Infant Massage Instruction - nurturing touch promotes a lifetime of family attachment and healthy infant development.   The mission of the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM®) is to foster a renaissance of each people's ancient tradition of infant massage and to promote nurturing touch and communication through training, education, and research so that globally parents, caregivers, and children are loved, valued, and respected throughout the world community. “Where touching begins, there love and humanity also begin...”   Ashley Montagu

IAIM®, trains and certifies Certified Infant Massage Instructors (CIMI®) who in turn teach parents and caregivers to massage their babies. To maintain the high quality of classes we provide to parents we require the  instructors we train are required to complete the Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI®) process. Each CIMI® must attend a 3 day or 4 day training, complete an exam and demonstrate their competence by teaching parent classes.

CONGRATULATIONS to Andrea Kelly for her FEATURE article published in the October 2008 issue of Massage Magazine.   The article is titled "The Gentle Art of Infant Massage" and there is a excerpt online at www.massagemag.com/IAIM titled "Beyond Infant Massage: Courses that Create Healthy Family Communication". We highly recommend that you buy the October 2008 issue of Massage Magazine to include the 5-page FEATURE article with your marketing package along with your card and brochure. (Please note that the magazine apologetically put the incorrect web site at the end of the article in the magazine (the website address online is correct) so before you make copies for your classes please make sure to CORRECT the last three letters at the very end of the article from net to ws i.e.:www.iaim.ws)
