Empowering family connections through nurturing touch

Welcome to Infant Massage USA!

Each year, we train hundreds of people to become Certified Educators of Infant Massage (CEIMs), giving them all the tools they need to bring nurturing touch to their community.

As the U.S. chapter of the International Association of Infant Massage, we act as a nonprofit support network for our CEIMS. They’ve helped us share nurturing touch with over 23,000 families and counting!

Research shows infant massage has many benefits…

  • A happy family with a mother, father, and their baby playing together in a bedroom.

    Accelerated bonding and attachment between children and caregivers

  • Close-up of a baby sleeping with one hand extended forward.

    Improved muscle growth and weight gain

  • Two women holding a baby in a bright kitchen, smiling and embracing each other.

    Stress reduction for both parent and child

  • A young child with curly hair sleeping peacefully on a white pillow and bed.

    Healthy sleep and digestion

  • A father and baby having fun together indoors, with the father holding the baby up and both smiling.

    Increased parental confidence and competence

  • A man and woman smiling as they give a baby a bottle, in a brightly lit room.

    Enhanced understanding of communication and consent
