Hi, I'm Hui Tze, an experienced IAIM baby massage instructor who helps parents to understand
the power of nurturing touch so that you can build a deep connection with your baby. Thank you for your interest in the 5-session Baby Massage Course!
Do you know that your baby’s sense of touch begins to develop as early as 7 to 8 weeks of pregnancy? And it's through touch that you first communicate and interact with your baby, as you and your partner stroke your belly to say hi and convey your love.
Both you and your baby benefit from the natural process of touch. And baby massage provides this opportunity to parents to bond with their babies. It connects you deeply with your baby and helps you understand your baby’s nonverbal language and respond with love and respect.
Baby massage encompasses most of the senses – Sight, Touch, Hearing and Smell. Therefore, it is an excellent programme that will help your baby to develop all round. Not only does it promote bonding and provide relief, it provides the adequate stimulation that a baby needs for brain development, and enhances the baby’s memory and focus.

What is the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) Programme about?In many cultures, the practice of massaging babies is an art passed down from generation to generation. The IAIM Programme founder, Vimala McClure, combined different techniques (Indian massage, Swedish massage, reflexology, yoga methods), with her own ideas and created this special programme since the 1970s and it is widely practiced in many countries around the world.

Who is this programme for?This programme is designed for parents with infants 0 - 12 months old. We welcome babies to be themselves - they can cry, sleep, poo, feed and do nothing in class! And parents can do whatever you need to answer your baby’s needs.
+
Why does it take five weeks to complete the IAIM programme?In each session, you will be taken through a series of different activities that incorporate massage, touch, voice, eye contact and many other interactions. You will need time to practise the techniques with your baby at home, and each session, we will learn new strokes and build on those previously taught. Babies will take a little longer than adults to integrate and accept massage in their lives. Hence, five sessions is the optimal duration.

Private 1-1 classes (at your home): $500**
