Natalie Garmson new that massaging her two boys from when they were born felt very natural and nurturing, but wanted to learn more about the benefits of infant massage as well as the different massage strokes. Thats when she found the International Association of Infant Massage, or IAIM for short. "Since becoming a certified infant massage instructor I haven't looked back" she said. Natalie initially set up Idibidi Kids to assist families with newborns and young children in the Perth area by teaching infant massage instruction for parents and caregivers, but has since branched out to include a in-home Massage for Mum! pamper package, Sleep Education Consults as well as teaching the international Massage in Schools program.

Apart from servicing the local Perth area, Idibidi Kids can help families with their child's sleep and settling concerns all around Australia. The Sleep Education Consults are more than just a consult, offering parents an educational and informative session, in home or via the telephone, tailored to the clients requirements. Natalie covers age appropriate developmental stages, sleep requirements, as well as helping parents to understand their baby's tired signs and the different cries. She will also give parents a brief introduction to baby massage, as research from The Touch Research Institute shows that massage can help assist babies sleep patterns and can promote a deeper, more restful sleep, something both the parents and bub would be happy with!

If parents are wanting to learn more about infant massage, the benefits, how to perform a full body massage on their child, as well as other issues related to their child's first year of development, participating in a 4 session parent-infant massage course is ideal. For those parents wanting to learn massage for a more specific reason, for example, to help assist their child with special needs or for a certain condition such as colic or chest congestion, the one hour workshop is more appropriate.

Learning from a certified infant massage instructor, CIMI for short, will guarantee that your stroke technique, rate and rhythm at which you massage your child is correct, something particularly important if your child has low or high muscle tone, often referred to as hypotonic or hypertonic muscle tone. Another example is the colic massage routine, a specialised massage sequence that is very useful in assisting babies who suffer from colic, wind or constipation. If you massage your baby's tummy in the wrong direction or if you do not use the correct pressure, you could potentially make your baby's condition worse. This is where a CIMI will ensure you are on the right track, and at the same time, provide the parents with increase self-confidence, guidance and support.

Most of all, learning what is essentially a traditional art, one that has been around in Eastern cultures for thousands of years, is fun and easy to do. It is important to nurture the bond that you have with your child; infant massage is a wonderful parenting tool that does just that!
