Fonnie Lo

Treasurer

Fonnie was trained to become a CIMI in May 2022 with Maria Joao. She is the newest member of the IAIM Singapore board. Fonnie has a Bachelor of Nursing from La Trobe University, Australia. She is a Registered Nurse/Midwife, a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a BCLS & AED Instructor (SRFAC).

With her deep passion and extensive experience in maternity since 1989 and lactation for more than 20 years, she understands the immense stress that new parents face when caring for their baby in a competitive environment, especially their desire to provide the very best for their child. She realizes infant massage not only helps parents better understand their baby’s needs, but also nurtures bonding through gentle touch, boosts caregivers’ confidence, and offers physical, emotional, and social benefits for both the baby and family members.

Ong Hui Tze

Singapore Chapter Representative Membership Coordinator

Hui Tze is a mother of 2 children and a furkid. Besides being a certified infant massage instructor, Hui Tze is also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a certified postpartum doula, supporting new parents in the early weeks after birth. Witnessing parents becoming more confident in taking care of their babies gives her tremendous joy and satisfaction. She firmly believes that infant massage not only allows parents to understand and bond with their babies better, it also produces many more loving, respectful and harmonious families! Hui Tze has taught more than 100 families the power of nurturing touch, and she hopes to continue spreading the love and educating more parents on the wonderful benefits of infant massage. Travelling and going to the gym for strength training are other things Hui Tze enjoys doing.

Nicole Lim

Social Media

Nicole, the Association’s Social Media Lead, is a certified baby massage instructor and a mother of one. Like many parents, she discovered through group classes that infant massage is not just about technique, but about connection, reassurance, and growing together with others on the same journey. Having previously supported the Association through membership management, Nicole understands the heart of the IAIM community. In her new role, she sees social media as a warm extension of the classroom, where stories, experiences, and learnings can be shared across IAIM chapters. Through this exchange, instructors feel supported, parents feel less alone, and the collective voice of infant massage grows stronger. With a background in marketing, Nicole hopes to gently nurture an online space that informs, connects, and supports families and practitioners alike.
