5 Week Infant Massage Course
My name is Amatullah and I am a Certified Infant Massage Instructor with IAIM. My primary aim is to provide baby massage skills to women who have suffered trauma and seek to bond better with their child(ren). My classes however, are open to all women.
Our classes follow the IAIM curriculum, which is designed to help parents learn essential skills for nurturing their infants. These skills include touch, movement, relaxation, interaction, and communication, along with a special colic routine. Over the course of five weeks, we will focus on massaging a different area of your baby’s body, gradually building up to a full, nurturing routine. This includes simple, gentle movements inspired by the principles of stretching. Our programme is thoughtfully designed and fully dedicated to baby massage, offering a comprehensive and supportive experience for you and your baby.
Our group sessions offer a small, relaxed and non-judgmental space for parents to enjoy with their babies. We always end our sessions with tasty home-made refreshments. The classes are entirely baby-led, so crawling, playing, exploring, feeding, sleeping, changing are all welcome. I also provide cloth toys for your baby to play with. Additionally, I always ensure that the strokes are repeated so that you can practice at home when your baby is ready.
Included in the course are five weekly 1 hour 45 minute sessions, a bottle of vegetable-based massage oil, a massage handbook, and a certification of attendance. We provide waterproof yoga mats and washable terry cloth floor mats for your convenience. These are disinfected after each class.
This course is suitable for infants aged 0 to 12 months old.
