Welcome to the IAAMB

The Association was founded as a forum for animal massage and bodywork professionals to network and support each other. Our members share a common goal of advancing the field of animal massage and bodywork.

The IAAMB encourages dialog among the schools and schools of thought within the field of animal massage and bodywork.

We've launched a new state-of-the-art member directory, including a world map of all our members.

Through our educational conferences, publications and strong internet presence we enhance understanding and professional acceptance of the animal directed disciplines of massage, acupressure, Reiki, polarity, sound/music, healing touch, flower essence, aromatherapy, color and light therapies, and animal communication.
