5. The whole concept of IAIM has opened my eyes and wonderful to learn a new skill to support parents and babies
6. The other students were supportive and interesting.

I loved it!
attended a 4 day IAIM infant massage course
Kate Pigeon-Owen is amazing ! great trainer!
so much knowledge and lived experience to support our learning, was given lots of resources and plenty of time for practical work to put theory into practice!

IAIM Baby Massage training is very informative, fun and supportive. You learn so much, not just the IAIM strokes but also the theory and benefits behind the scenes. It was great to practise with an actual massage class with parents and their babies and meeting like minded people throughout too.

Very informative, knowledgeable instructor just felt course could have been slightly shorter.

Comprehensive, professional training, which will lead to considerably improved experiences for parents and babies.

The training was very informative and clear. I felt confident and excited to start a new career in delivering the baby massage course to parents/primary care givers.

Kate promotes confidence throughout her training and is very approachable and helpful.

Kate was a wonderful instructor with a lot of knowledge on my baby massage training. I am part of the last cohort of Lincolnshire trained in baby massage. Kate gave me a lot of knowledge on the importance of baby massage.

Boost You for Leaders was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Each session offered something different, and was practical, empowering and easy to apply, which helped me reflect, recharge and feel more grounded. I especially loved learning simple ways to boost my wellbeing, like creating moments to increase oxytocin as a way to manage stress. The small group setting felt safe and supportive, and it was a real reminder that looking after yourself isn’t just important, it’s essential. I came away with tools I’ll keep using and a fresh perspective on what it means to lead and live well.

Over the past six weeks, I’ve taken part in the Boost For You Leaders online programme run by Kate Pigeon-Owen of Wellbeing International. I really appreciated the variety of approaches shared, with practical ideas I can use to help me stay on top of my own wellbeing.

Each week had a different focus, topics, contributors and ways of learning. The mix of listening, reading, writing and interacting with fellow delegates kept the sessions fresh and easy to stay engaged with. It was also great to hear from a range of knowledgeable guest speakers, each bringing their own experience and perspective.

Kate’s passion and knowledge really came through. The programme was well put together, enjoyable, and full of useful tools and ideas that I can build into everyday life. As a new graduate, I’m very happy to recommend it.

The Boost You for Leaders programme I attended has been a great opportunity to become familiar within a short timeframe with a wide range of approaches and skills that have made a significant difference to my personal wellbeing and work productivity.
The facilitated 6 x 1 hr-long weekly sessions and really useful additional enrichment materials have also motivated me to promote this programme as an effective way of enhancing our wellbeing strategy to support and inspire staff and colleagues.
Thank you for providing several really practical, realistic and achievable solutions to what may otherwise appear to be wellbeing challenges that are difficult to delineate and tackle within a business setting.
I strongly recommend this accessible and evidence-based programme to leaders of both small and large organisations/ businesses.

Loved the whole ethos of the baby massage course and Kate delivered this perfectly

Kate was really informative, friendly and her passion for baby massage is infectious. If anyone is thinking of doing the course I would highly recommend as you will come away feeling really empowered and informed to go away and help mums and babies.

The knowledge and passion of the trainer made the delivery of the course engaging and interesting her knowledge and support was empowering .

Great trainer, enjoyable sessions with a mix of interactions, activities and much more. Felt welcome and in a safe space to ask questions and get things wrong! thank you so much for an enjoyable four days!

Wellbeing International have been a great support to my teams in the Essex Child and Wellbeing Services in North Essex over the last 12 months. They have delivered several wellbeing topics to over 150 practitioners which have been well received and the boost you for leaders has been invaluable to the leadership team in North Essex. The one to ones offered afterwards were very good and for very large teams I think this has worked well, our sickness and turnover of colleagues is low and overall there is an improvement in wellbeing which we can see from 121's and from how the teams are functioning, we have also seen an increase in positive compliments from clients.

Absolutely amazing training and trainer. Kate really got us to grips with the IAIM training and how important massage is holistically. So grateful I was able to do this training and can’t wait to work with families working with IAIM

I attended the training at the Towers in Swansea last week with Kate! The training was absolutely eye opening for me I didn’t realise how fantastic Infant Massage really is! Kate made the training extremely interesting and informative! Thank you!

Having just graduated from the Boost You programme, it was powerful to have set aside time to focus on developing myself and my personal well-being strategies. This would not have been possible without knowledgeable, enthusiastic and empathetic facilitators and a like-minded group. Thank you.

If you are a leader looking to review and refresh your self-help strategies for supporting your own well-being so that this has a ripple effect on those you lead, then for a small investment of time and money you can access a resource that has the intention and aim of having lasting impact.

Kate from wellbeing international was really knowledgeable and helpful. As part of a team building event we learnt the science behind stress and how to get a better work-life balance. Got some really good tips on getting better sleep and we even got to give each other a massage at the end! Lovely way to spend the afternoon. I have been waking up a lot more refreshed and ready for the day ever since.
