From that first training held in Kinsale, we now facilitate several trainings across Ireland each year, some of which Kirsty herself teaches. In 2003, Baby Massage Ireland was declared an official corporation and qualified for charity status.
In 2011, Gail Bovenizer completed her studies with IAIM and joined Kirsty to became
the second IAIM Instructor Trainer within Ireland. It is important to note that Baby
Massage Ireland is the Irish Chapter of the International Association of Infant Massage
and therefore anyone wishing to become a member of Baby Massage Ireland must have
completed the IAIM Training Course with a registered IAIM Instructor Trainer.
Today Baby Massage Ireland has a nationwide network of CIMIs who offer classes
for parents and caregivers in both group settings and one-on-one. The
recognition of the benefits of infant massage growing all the time and Baby
Massage Ireland is proud to have classes by our instructors refunded by some of
the Health Insurance companies.
