Baby massage is a longstanding parenting tradition in many cultures, including Indian and African, and was introduced to the western world during the last 30 years, gaining in popularity in the UK since the late 1990's.
Baby massage is when a parent or primary carer lovingly strokes or holds their baby.
Using a high quality non-fragranced vegetable oil, soothing holds and rhythmic strokes are given on each area of baby's body, following a sequence that has been developed over many years.
The massage offers a wonderful experience and a special time to communicate both verbally and non-verbally with babies, so that they feel loved, valued and respected.

The International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) is a global organisation and the world-class standard for the training and teaching of baby massage.
The IAIM was founded by Vimala McClure in 1986.
Following her experience of working in an orphanage in northern India in 1973, Vimala brought the traditional practice of infant massage to the West.
She has since written many books including Infant Massage - a Handbook for Loving Parents.
The IAIM became an internationally established organisation in 1992 with the help of Audrey Downes, a registered nurse and IAIM Instructor, and other dedicated IAIM Instructors, who helped Vimala to begin the Association.
