About Baby Massage
Baby massage is a time for just you and your baby. Being a new mum can sometimes feel like an endless cycle of sleepless nights, feeding and changing nappies. Massaging your baby gives you a special time when you can relax and be together and it can have lots of wonderful benefits too.
Baby massage is an ancient art used in many diverse cultures. Vimala McClure, founder of the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) created this massage course from influences she had on her worldwide travels. She used elements from Indian and Swedish massage, Reflexology and Yoga. The IAIM course has been enjoyed internationally for over 30 years.
