Aki’s Paediatric Massage Service
Thank you for visiting my page. I appreciate you taking the time to find out about Akiʼs Infant Massage and my role as an instructor.
Massage instructing is my passion. I grew up in a dairy farm in Hokkaido Northern Japan dreaming of becoming an educator. That dream became a reality here in Australia, where I have now worked as an practitioner for many years. Over that period became interested in ‘appropriate physical touch’. The interest quickly became my passion, and I studied at IMIS to become an Infant Massage Instructor and Paediatric Massage Consultant.

Iʼm so grateful to be able to share knowledge of ‘touch’ to support physical, mental and emotional development in infants.
Just as babies learn through the sensory benefits found at mealtime; how to chew, use a spoon, different tastes, and their favourite food by communicating preferences through body language, facial expression, making sounds etc… Infant massage carries broader meaning and educational concepts within its practice. I canʼt wait to share this with you.
