Raynor Massage Diploma Course Level 3 (Advanced Certificate Course in Australia)

5-Day Raynor Massage Diploma Course Level 3 (Advanced Certificate Course in Australia)

Our Raynor Massage Diploma course is designed to build on your massage skills. You will be taught more advanced techniques, which combine with our 5-day Raynor Massage Certificate Course. This course is designed to give you the confidence you need to bring your clients to a new level of health.

What You Will Learn

The Diploma course is designed for students who want to develop their massage skills further as well as new massage therapists entering the profession. Many of our students do the two courses together as a 10 day combined Certificate and Diploma course. If this doesn’t suit you, it’s also possible to study the second Diploma week at a different time or in a different location from your Certificate. It is designed to be flexible to fit around your existing commitments and budget. Even if you have extensive massage experience in a different modality, first you need to take the Raynor Online Course Level 1 and the Raynor Massage Certificate Level 2 and before you can study for our Level 3 Diploma course.

In Australia, the equivalent to the Diploma Course is the called the Advanced Certificate Course level 3. The content is the same.

The course is only available through the Raynor College of Massage & Natural Therapies because all our teachers are Advanced Practitioners in Raynor Naturopathic Massage.  Brandon Raynor has spent over twenty five years travelling around the world studying massage and continues to do so today. These teachers have have been trained by and have worked with Brandon, and he has personally approved them to teach. Our teachers are also practitioners, and they work with Brandon on a regular basis for their own development. The Diploma course specifically draws on several more additional disciplines from the worldwide understanding of massage. There is a focus on foot and hand massage reflexology, aromatherapy and joint mobilization.

On completion of the level 3 Diploma course, and ideally having gained experience with using the massage professionally, students are then eligible to join our highest level course, the Level 4 Advanced Practitioners Course. You can only take the Level 4 Advanced Practitioner’s course if you already have a Level 3 Raynor Massage Diploma, regardless of your other qualifications and experience in other massage modalities.

Course Outline

If you’d like to see what comprises the Certificate courseplease see the 5-day Raynor Massage Certificate Course. The Diploma course covers the following:

  • Joint mobilization techniques for the toes, fingers, ankles, wrists, hips, back and sacrum
  • Special moves that enable a person to give more pressure for clients that like deeper massage
  • Using the feet to walk on the hands and feet of the client and for smaller people, the technique of walking on the back of the client
  • Reflexology of the hands and feet
  • Ayurvedic massage oils and Ayurvedic constitutional diagnosis.
  • Introduction to the use of Chinese liniments in massage

  • Aromatherapy
  • Stronger emphasis on developing rhythm and flow with massage.
  • Feedback to enable you to become a better practitioner
  • Demonstration of full body massage
  • Introduction to diagnosis and strategy in Raynor massage
  • Instructions on how to set up and run a Raynor massage therapy business
  • Student clinic to get feedback and develop confidence in treating real clients

Learn Advanced Techniques

Accelerated Expertise

Our Raynor Naturopathic Massage Diploma course is designed for people who would like to start a new career in the massage industry. It is also a good choice for existing health professionals who would like to expand their skill range to include the wide variety of techniques and philosophy that make up Raynor massage. The expert teaching provided and the benefits of studying in a group of no more than 20 students to one teacher means that we expect that everyone who completes the course can give an effective therapeutic massage. Raynor Massage is such a unique massage style, if you are focused then you can become incredibly effective with just two weeks of training. We will also teach you to integrate both reflexology and aromatherapy into your massage practice.

The aim of the massage remains the same for the Diploma as for the Certificate. Essentially, you will learn to find tension in the body and eliminate it. On the Diploma course, your ability to release tension is taken to a deeper level. It is often possible to access tension that has been stored for many years, even since childhood. The Diploma trains the massage therapist to work in a more extensive manner in order to track and release the bands of tension that run through the body.

Practical Education & Assessments

We teach massage in a uniquely hands-on manner. The tutor input and hands-on massage learning method applies for the Diploma course as it does for the Certificate. This is because you will learn so much from both giving and receiving the massage. You will work with different people across the week so that you can gain experience working with different body types while learning how different people hold their tension. You will gain more experience in learning to adapt the depth of the massage so that it is appropriate for the individual client.

On the final day of the course we open the doors for our ‘student clinic’ where we invite members of the public to receive a free massage. This is an integral part of the assessment of the Diploma where you will carry out everything learnt on the course, from taking a case history, selecting oils, giving a full body treatment and discussing aftercare advice with your client.

Course days are very intensive and usually run from 9-5pm, Monday to Friday with a 1 hour break for lunch each day.

Massage 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.

If you're looking for a one stop shop for massage and actually want a career of helping people, not just giving them temporary relief, look no further!!! Do not waste 12 months of your life learning a routine massage. If you truly wish to learn a technique from one of the best in the industry, Brandon Raynor is your man! Be prepared to learn nearly 30 years worth of refined into 10 days (for the Diploma). Be prepared to learn a lot about yourself and others, for some of us, the course changed our lives. Brandon is a very humble person with a what-you-see-is-what-you-get attitude, caring, very approachable, knowledgeable and can read you like a book. Thanks to Brandon for his time, assistance and fantastic style of teaching. My career change is a sure thing and the kudos go to Brandon! Regards, Mira

I recently attended the diploma course at Gympie, I was not sure what to expect and was a bit nervous about two weeks of learning....but I was drawn to this course, well what can I say? Brandon's courses exceeded anything I could have imagined, to say everything I thought about Massage is now changed is an understatement to say the least. I have had an amazing experience, not only did I learn ALOT! I met some wonderful people made some lasting friendships. Added to all that. We were taught by Brandon himself who is extremely patient and has a unique and VERY workable way of teaching. If you are looking for a course that is way more than just your run of the mill. I recommend this one. I am already excited about the advanced course in November. Can't wait! Way to go Raynor Massage!!!!!

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.

Brandon is an excellent massage practicioner and teacher. His courses have a large practical component, where you not only have the time and space to practice on other students but also learn so much by having Brandon and the other student perform treatments on you. Brandon has an excellent understanding of how the body and mind influence each other and teaches how to connect with your client and work together to releave tension and strain in a holistic & effective way, treating the root cause of the inbalance. After completing the Certificate & Diploma I had the confidence to start my own business, building a busy practice in the months following and enjoying the process of connecting and helping my clients. I have been able to pass much of what I have learnt to my clients, empowering them be to aware of how they treat their body & mind and make the choice to let go of the habits that are no longer serving their holistic health. I would highly reccommend Brandon's School of Massage and Natural Therapies, to anyone seeking to support others in their journey to holistic health.

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 attended the certificate and diploma course in August (2017) at Gympie. Brandon was our educator; how lucky were we to be taught and worked on by the man himself!!! The course was delivered with a small group so that, as adult learners, we had time to learn, practice and discuss. It was a great learning environment. I also feel very well supported by a very large number of past students/practitioners. I am looking forward to attending the advanced course in a few months to catch up with my group , fine tune my skills and develop even more!!! Thankyou Brandon.
