Brandon Raynor Advanced Massage

Individual Focus

Brandon Raynor teaches this course as a clinic with the students as the patients, so each student will receive a significant amount of massage. Most of this course will be focused on treating each of the students as if they were a client and asking what the best strategy is to treat that person. It is recommended that students who attend this course are comfortable at receiving a deep massage. This is because Brandon often works quite deep with people! This is an excellent way of taking your massage skills further and deepening your experience, understanding and abilities. The pace of the course will be intense. This course focuses on each of the students in the class in order to individualize the massage treatment to suit the client.

Testimonials

The advanced course was an amazing experience! It has brought together the Raynor massage for me and taken it to another level. I have had the confidence to go full time as a massage therapist. I feel great in myself after receiving a massage and the benefits are being passed on to my clients!

The Advanced Diploma course with Brandon changed the way I approach giving a massage treatment and took my bodywork to a new level. I now have a much deeper understanding of not just how to give a massage, but how to give a massage catered specifically to an individual. Every person has different bodies and emotional states and thus has different needs and thus requires a different strategy when being treated. This is the most valuable lesson I learnt during this course and I’m so grateful I did because I am now achieving incredible results in my bodywork.

I highly recommend Brandon Raynor course to everyone interested in becoming a Massage Therapist or current Therapists wanting to do professional development course or learn something different and unique. The course teaches us alot of useful techniques to trest i injuries and relax a person. It focusses alot on hand and feet work with the knowledge of releasing emotional stresses. No course currently will give you knowledge about band work and how to treat them. Brandon is very professional with his work and delivers great lectures and practical work to learn everything about a human body and how to treat a person with the best techniques. With the skills and knowledge provided in the course, I have treated many clients and have always had great feedback with helping someone mobilising her finger joints and getting proper blood flow before it becomes chronic. I thank Brandon alot for teaching us the best techniques and giving us the knowledge and motivation to become successful massage therapist. The classes are very well organised, friendly and located at the best venues. Goodluck to all the new thersoist undertaking the course as I assure you that you are in good hands and you will be really happy to undertake the course.

Brandon's massage course was fantastic! I did my certificate in Cambridge and absolutely loved it! Brandon's approach to the ideas of massage is unique, but very effective! As an athlete, I have had many niggles and injuries which have required treatment, but none of them have released my upper body tension in the way the Raynor techniques did! I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to release physical or emotional tension and improve the quality of life for themselves/friends/family. Brandon has a world of knowledge and experience, he has a genuine and caring demeanor, and is a fantastic teacher. I cannot speak more highly of him and his course!

I’ve just come back from the advanced course in London - I actually did the week in October 18 but really wanted to go back again. I’d done the retreat with Dave in April/May 18 & absolutely loved it & although I’m really pleased I went to the advanced course, I wasn’t quite ready for it either! Brandon’s style is very different to Dave’s - it’s not a case of consolidating what you’ve learnt, but it takes it to a whole new level!

Watching Brandon work deeply can be a bit shocking at first. It looks so painful...& it is! But Brandon is right about people being red, amber or green. At the start of the week I was definitely red, only going to amber the day before the last day...I wanted to go for it but held back too long. However on the Saturday I decided to get out of my comfort zone & just went for it. You have to be a green light & surrender to the deep rooted pain & tension you’ve been holding onto for years!

Yes it’s painful, but it’s momentary & it feels so good to allow yourself to let it all go. The only way to understand the power of the advanced techniques is to experience them for yourself...& then you’ll be on a mission to find someone to work on you more!

I’m so pleased I returned to the advanced course a few days ago. I arrived with a years more experience, a desire to learn & a big green light to get worked on! I received some great treatments & got to practise on amazing therapists & got awesome advice & feedback. I’ve come back with a new confidence & excited to be continuing on this journey 😊

Thank you Brandon 🙏

Just finished Brandon's 2 week certificate and Diploma in massage last week!

I personally found this to be simply amazing and life changing. Everyday I was simply blown away with what we learnt and especially how I felt.

I'm a 38 yr old male with a beautiful wife and 2 young girls and found the 2 week course suited me perfect!! The price was well worth the transformation I have had with the added bonus of becoming a massage therapist. If your thinking of doing this course, its worth it on every level. Brandon is an amazing individual and some one I have come to trust and respect 100%. The skills I learnt can be taught to anyone willing to learn.

I have no hesitation to recommend this amazing course to anyone! If your thinking of doing this course? Its a no lose situation!!

Thank you so much!!

I completed the course in 2009 and the later on completed the advanced course in 2013. Having experienced massage throughout the world , including some amazing work from blind masseuses in Tibet I was looking forward to a change of career if this course delivered what it promised.

It did, in great buckets, my first experience of an emotional release from a client was both humbling and I felt privileged to help with this process.

Having only had an interest in massage , the two week course enabled me to immediately start working on people I knew and those I did not. The transition to getting paid was as easy as finding clients. It is still easy if you just talk to people.

The advanced course rounded out the training and introduced new techniques including a form of what I could only call acupressure with amazing personal results. I would like to personally thank Brandon and Maureen for convincing me to attend.

As an interesting bonus my personal chronic (lie on the floor for 3 days a couple of times a year) back pain completely went and has not re occurred. The change to my personal health and wellbeing as Terry mentioned was an unexpected bonus.

My only complaint is that there are not enough practitioners to go around :)

Well worth a few weeks of your life to learn what is possible if you really listen to what the body is telling you. This is a very intuitive course and anyone with an open mind and heart should do very well.

I have finally completed the Advanced Raynor Massage course I completed the diploma back in 2014 and has been a great new start for me but then recently I did the Advanced course and this was truly transformative. The skills that a learnt from this a amazing but also I was able to shift some deep rooted tension that needed to go that Brandon gave me a helping hand with. Thank you so much It’s been life changing for me

The best massage in the world. Words cannot even describe how amazing you feel after. Allow at least few treatments to notice the clarity & focus. Strongly recommend 😁👌

Maja Corak 23 Apr 2018

Raynor Massage is so very effective at getting to and eliminating the deepest layers of tension including those held by negative emotions and traumatic experiences. I am not exaggerating when I say that Raynor Massage helped me overcome depression, anxiety issues and other health ailments. It was such a great experience when I took the Diploma course in 2007 and subsequent Advanced classes with Brandon that now Raynor Massage is embedded in my daily life. Extremely happy to be a teacher for this amazing organization and full to the brim with deep gratitude towards my mentor Brandon and the rest of his team. Thank You Brandon Raynor, Thank You!

Terry Masson 05 Jun 2014

I have just finished diploma course held in Auckland and what an amazing and mind opening experience ! Both Brandon and Cori are great knowledgeable teachers . It was my first time getting hands on and getting involved in massaging and treating people so I was quite nervous to start . Now I can't wait to start practicing raynors method on my own , seeing benefits , and knowing there is Brandons and Cori continuing support after the course . Thank you and all great students and for sharing experiences from all different paths of life .
