About IMIS Infant Massage Association IMIS acts as a professional association specifically for students and professionals holding (or studying for) a recognised qualification in infant massage. IMIS is an international body. Students and instructors are located in various countries worldwide. We keep members up-to-date with any new research, or general information pertaining to infant massage and child development to ensure that you are always aware of any new developments and recommendations relevant to the teaching of infant massage. Upon becoming a member of the Infant Massage Information Service you are entitled to the following benefits:
Access to the locked members website The members’ site is updated with new research articles, and general interest articles each quarter. Members can discuss various topics of interest with other students and instructors via our online message board.
Newsletter updates For those who do not have access to the internet, a print out of what has gone on in the members’ site is forwarded by mail each quarter.
Certificate of membership Your certificate can be used to show that you are aware of the latest information in regards to infant massage. When enquiries come through to the IMIS office from parents or organisations looking for individuals with infant massage training, we recommend that they request to see a qualifying certificate and a certificate of current membership to ensure that you are up to date with current techniques and recommendations.
Referrals When clinics, parents or organisations contact us to locate someone who is trained to work with parents and demonstrate massage techniques, we can provide referrals to you if you wish. Once you have completed your training a form will be provided which asks if you would like your contact information to be made available.
Instructor Support
IMIS offers ongoing to support to instructors and consultants once they are working and utilising their baby massage qualification.
We feel that it is important for instructors to be able to contact a trainer to discuss questions, recommendations, ideas, or concerns whilst they are working in the industry.
