The International Association of Infant Massage was inspired by Vimala McClure, who in the 1970s recognized the profound benefits of massage for children and parents. After living in India and observing traditional care practices, she brought this knowledge to the United States, adapting it for families there.
Vimala did not teach just techniques—she introduced an approach centered on respect for the child, loving touch, and parental support. In 1981, she founded IAIM, which has since expanded to over 70 countries, becoming the world’s largest organization dedicated to infant massage.
Her vision continues to inspire instructors and parents worldwide: a universal language of hands, heart, and relationship.

Returning to work after maternity leave may be straight forward for some. For others, going back to work after leave can prove challenging.

As you come towards the time you planned to return to work, you may experience a range or combination of different emotions. This is quite normal!

It may include sadness or anxiety about going back to work after maternity leave, or guilt around leaving your child.

Some mothers may feel a sense of relief around a return to normality and reduced financial pressures.

Challenges securing care for your child may complicate matters, and settling your child into a new routine once you are back at work can take time.

You may be breastfeeding your child and need to establish new feeding routines, including expressing milk and getting your infant used to a bottle. Or, you may choose to cease breastfeeding during the day at this time.

Additionally, for many women, the elements of your previous work wardrobe might need a review, given that you likely last wore some of these clothes up to two years ago!

All these questions and thoughts may be difficult to handle. If you need assistance or feel overwhelmed, speaking to your doctor about your return from maternity leave is an important first step.

Check-list for returning from leave.

~ Meet with your employer early to discuss returning to work from maternity leave.

~ If you wish to seek flexible working arrangements, make a formal application and discuss your plans earlier rather than later.

~ Access any organisational supports that are available.

~ Consider your practical arrangements and how your partner or family may be able to share these responsibilities.
