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.

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 !!!

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!

positive review  The guy's course is definitely the Ferrari of Massage courses. Been doing massage for ten years but this is a completely different modality with completely different results. Raynor is a cool caring guy and is absolutely invested in creating great practitioners as he is a true professional. Had lots of fun on this course and has taken my life in a new direction. So happy I did the course after deliberating for three years! Hopefully this type of massage/therapy spreads world wide! Truly an experience :)

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.

It goes without saying that massages that I've experienced at the hands of Raynor Massage trained professionals have been the most therapeutic that I've ever experienced. I felt that the massages were beneficial for a much longer period of time, and that they also alleviated and alleviated emotional symptoms that manifested in bodily aches and pains. Brandon, who trains in this massage practice, is a warm, learned and especially wise person. It is evident that he imparts ably his qualities to his trainees with impressive results! I highly recommend either his massage technique training and benefiting from his massage technique firsthand!

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.
