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!

– 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.

i fully enjoyed and benefited from what i learnt in this course. these are skills that are useful in what ever you do. the course was short but what you learn is much and the method is so effective and integral in the process of relieving core tension from people. i will never see massage the same again. the course was one of the best experiences and i have been lucky to take part in it

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'd have to say Brandon is one of the influential people who helped me to transformed my life. Not only to learn massage techniques but I was able to releases deep seeded trauma in physical and emotional levels which I dind't even know I had. Brandon's course was just AMAZING!! I totally agree with what I call " Brandon's philosophy " toward having a healthy body. I took Brandon's Advanced course back in 2011 in Hawaii and am so glad I did !!!

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.

Mike Francis 17 Jun 2014

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.

Ed Selby 20 May 2017

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

Keogh Reid 03 Nov 2018

I didn't have Brandon as a mentor and instructor during the basic training, but was very fortunate to have him train during the Masters degree. He even opened his life, family and home to me by personalizing my time with him on a 1-1 basis. I came to know him as a close friend and the older brother that I didn't have growing up. He is very caring, friendly, warm and a wonderful family man. All that aside he is a very dedicated strict but fair guide and mentor. I learned with him in those two weeks a lot of skill sets that would have taken months or even longer anywhere else. I have always wanted to pursue naturopathic medicine and I could think of no one better than he to be dedicated to the art of healing and helping people. I only pray that I have emulated his amazing teachings and did Brandon Raynor School well. Even after 6 years of practicing his art, I still find myself wanting for more. Don't be fooled by all the knowledge you get from him, he had plenty of secret hidden forbyiu to unlock with time. Just the ancient medicinal healers, wisdom comes with age and time. I hope you make Brandon's school of Natural Therapy your first stop at the Massage world. You won't regret it, I know I have not. Thank you Brandon for ever so more changing my life. -Ahmed

Audrey Mooney 02 Oct 2015

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!
