By learning techniques in a welcoming and supportive environment, you’ll discover how they can help soothe your baby, improve sleep, aid digestion, and reduce discomfort from colic.

Yes, they are common questions in my infant massage classes too! I always like to remind parents and caregivers that it’s a baby-led class and baby’s needs are the priority. The classes allow time to learn, to practice and to attend baby’s needs in a relaxing environment. The earlier they get knowledge and skills about infant massage and nurturing touch, the sooner they can feel empowered with tools to communicate with their baby in a nurturing and respectful way.

Infant massage often brings up questions:

Is my baby ready?
What if they cry?
How do I know if they are enjoying it?

An IAIM class offers a safe and respectful space where every question is welcome.

There is no judgement, no pressure — only shared learning.

Understanding the “why” behind the strokes helps parents feel more secure and intentional in their touch.

Knowledge builds confidence.
Confidence strengthens connection.

And connection is at the heart of everything we do.

Exciting news! I’ve just started a new infant massage course with a 10 week old baby, his mom and dad. 😀

Wondering what’s in my bag?
• My doll Amandine and her little blanket
• A small bottle of high quality oil for massage
• Illustrated massage strokes
• My IAIM manual for Infant Massage Educators
• The book of Vimala McClure, founder of the International Association of Infant Massage: Infant Massage, a handbook for loving parents.

Parents and caregivers, curious to know more?

✨ Why do I have a doll?
As a Certified Educator of Infant Massage, I demonstrate all the strokes on my doll — never on your baby. I gently guide you through each movement so you can practise with your baby, strengthen your connection, and gain confidence to continue at home. Remember: you are the expert of your baby.

✨ What’s in my manual?
It contains the foundation of knowledge every Educator trained by the International Association of Infant Massage needs to teach infant massage. At each class, I’ll share key insights on a different topic, so you can discover the amazing power of infant massage as the art of communication through nurturing touch.

✨ A little something for you, when you join a class!
• A small bottle of high quality oil, plus guidance on the type of oil recommended by the International Association of Infant Massage
• Illustrated massage strokes that you’ll learn step by step over the sessions

👋 Welcome, I’m Marion!
Mom of two young boys and a Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM) by IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) and IMUSA (US chapter). ✨

👶Based in Bellevue, near Seattle, WA, I teach Infant Massage classes for parents and caregivers to attend with their babies, from birth to 1 year ✨

💫My infant massage journey began in 2019, when I learned to massage my eldest son. What started as a beautiful bonding moment quickly became a passion! After taking IAIM classes, I knew I wanted to learn more… and eventually became a CEIM so I could share this amazing practice with other families 💕

❤️I’ve always loved education, and becoming a mom sparked a deep interest in how babies grow, develop, and thrive, especially during those precious first 3 years.

👶Infant massage is such a gentle, powerful way to support connection, communication, and confidence—for both babies and parents.

🌍A little about me
Originally from France, I lived in Southeast Asia for 10 years. When my family moved from Singapore to the US in 2024, I decided to put my career as an architect on pause (at least for now!) to follow my heart and launch Bonjour Bébé 💫— an exciting and meaningful step for me, allowing me to build a community in this new chapter of life. ✨
