About the UK Chapter

The UK Chapter of the IAIM was established in 1997 and has since trained over 13,000 Certified Infant Massage Instructors (CIMIs), who come from a wide range of professional backgrounds and experience.

All IAIM Chapters are non-profit organisations that respect the IAIM mission statement, bylaws and policies and procedures. There is only one IAIM Chapter per country and each Chapter has an elected board and/or committee who are responsible for supporting the growth and development of the Association within their country. Members are supported in a variety of ways and within the UK this includes:

  • Regular Educational Study Days and Course Refresher Days
  • Trainer led massage stroke refresher sessions
  • A newsletter three times a year
  • Access to news, research and other resources on the IAIM Members website
  • Support from your peers via the IAIM Facebook page and WhatsApp group
  • Support from your course Trainer
  • Support from the UK Chapter Executive Board and IAIM Office
