Raynor Massage Advanced Diploma Course

5-Day Advanced Massage Course

Brandon Raynor personally teaches this massage course, with other teachers often assisting him. It is aimed at developing your strategies in giving effective treatments. This will enable you and your clients to get the most from massages and get great results, quicker. It will increase your diagnostic and treatment skills to make your treatments even more effective and transformative.

What You Will Learn

This course is mainly focused on fully understanding the bands of tension that were introduced in the earlier courses. Another key learning focus is to make quicker diagnoses of clients problems areas and to create a rhythm and flow with your massage. This is important as it will give you the skill to to be able to unblock some of the deepest blockages that people can get. The Raynor Advanced Diploma course is only for graduates of our Diploma course (Combined Certificates), regardless of any prior experience and qualifications in other massage modalities. If you book this course at the same time as you book your Certificate and Diploma courses, even if you don’t take it for a while to gain experience before you do this Advanced Practitioner’s class, we offer a ‘book together’ discount with all three courses. Please contact us for more information.

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!

Angela Parsons, 01/03/2013

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.

Massage Advanced Diploma FAQ

Is the course residential?

No. You will be responsible for your own accommodation, food and travel, we can however offer suggestions for accommodation near to our massage schools.

What do I need to bring to a course?

You will need to bring comfortable clothing, flat shoes and four large and two small towels. We provide the massage tables for use during the course.

I don’t really believe in Chi and people’s energy. Can I still do this course?

Yes, you don’t necessarily need to agree with a particular philosophical point of view to be able to learn Raynor Massage and give an incredibly effective massage. Do try to come to the course with an open mind – many people do go home with a different understanding of the human body and the body-mind interaction and recognise that there is much to learn from these ancient traditions even if their personal belief system does not integrate it.

Do I have to do lots of reading and academic study?

No. We will provide a full course handbook and training DVD and give you suggestions for further reading should you wish to add to the knowledge gained on the course.

Can I get insured from this course?

We work with a number of insurance companies, in all the countries we train in, who offer insurance for our students. Click here to view the full details.

A truly transformational experience. Receiving a Raynor Naturopathic Massage has unseated deep unwanted tension and emotion I have been carrying around for years. Brandon and Cori not only facilitated this extraction they also mentored and coached us on the practical and soft skills to pass this gift on to others. I have all the skills and confidence to now treat others who are looking to remove unwanted physical, mental and emotional stresses. This is the massage that everyone wants but is so hard to find. Becoming an advanced Raynor practitioner sets you above all other therapist in your field - the amazing results and full bookings are testament to that.

I have just completed the Raynor Massage course in Sydney and can't recommend it highly enough! I didn't have any experience in massage beforehand, and found the course easy to follow and the techniques super effective! Brandon's endless knowledge and experience, and holistic approach to massage is amazing (Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, shiatsu, thai massage, reflexology, accupressure etc). The techniques are simple, but I have never seen massage have such a instant and holistic effect on the body! The course is very practical with lots of demonstrations and hands on practise, but little attention to detailed anatomy and physiology. Coming from a human movement background I appreciated this approach very much, but if you didn't have much understanding of the body and how it works, you might feel a bit more confident with a bit of self study before the course. Basic anatomy and physiology is simple enough to learn at home, and I'm glad we used class time on practical rather than learning the names of every muscle. Brandon is a wizard himself, and simply steaches students to FIND and FEEL tension, and how to get rid of it longterm. It's quite an intense course, but I graduated feeling confident and excited to start practising. I highly recommend this course to rookies, and massage therapists alike. I don't know of any other form of massage therapy that draws on so many different modalities.

positive review  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 🙏

Best Course EVER!!! I was particularly drawn to Raynor Massage because it incorporates a variety of Massage Techniques from all over the world. I signed up to learn Massage and with Brandon's Course there was absolutely no messing around, we spent half a day on the theory and the rest learning about Raynor Massage. It was fantastic, hard work but fantastic. Thank you Brandon & Cori for sharing your pearls of wisdom with me I look forward to moving forward with my new skills :-)

I never thought the diploma course will be transformative. But, I experienced transformation at the last week of the course which enables me to see myself in a different way. I have to thanks Brandon for that, he is just an awesome human being... ...I learned excellent massage techniques too, but I learned more about myself after the course... I’m Looking forward to taking the advanced course in the future!

This course was such an eye opener for me! I completed the diploma in Hanmer Springs with Brandon and Cori. The pair complemented each other perfectly in their teaching styles and I particularly loved how much hands on practise we got to do over the 2 weeks. Not only do you get taught the tools to offer Raynor massage, but also get to experience first hand the incredible effects it can have on you (that's if/when you are the demonstration student!). Thanks again Brandon and Cori :)

amazing course! I just completed the diploma and just loved it! If you are looking for a type of massage able to help releasing tensions accumulated along your life, it is the right massage to get. Very powerful especially if you are ready to heal. It is also a chance to be taught by the creator of this technique. Thank you for your time both of you Brandon and Cori.
