Instructors: UK Chapter
Established since 1997 the UK chapter has over 2000 active members.
Certified Infant Massage Instructors grouped together form an official IAIM Chapter. Chapters are all non-profit associations that respect IAIM Mission Statement, Bylaws, Policies and Procedures. Chapters have boards and/or committees elected by the Chapter’s members and are responsible for supporting the growth and development of the association in their country and supporting the instructors with newsletters, warehouses with material for instructors, and regular meetings. There is only one IAIM Chapter per country. Each Chapter is represented by an IAIM Chapter Representative.
