The International Association of Infant Massage, Australia (IAIM) is a not-for-profit charity, and for 18 years has been the only organisation in Australia providing the
The First Touch Program to parents and families all over the country.
Our work helps parents and families experience the many benefits and joys that come from using healthy touch, infant massage, and many other forms of communication with their babies. The IAIM program takes only a few hours to deliver, costs
less that half the amount of a baby's first vaccination, yet has a life-long impact on a child's physical, emotional and social health.
