Brandon Raynor’s College of Massage and Natural Therapies delivers high quality massage courses in Halifax, Nova Scotia and all around Canada. Raynor massage encompasses the best techniques from styles all around the world, such as Shiatsu, reflexology and Swedish massage.

Learn To Massage

Raynor Massage is very different to most other massage therapies available. We have a holistic understanding of the body, recognizing that both physical and emotional tension will have a negative impact on the physical body. Massage treatments are popular for many conditions, such as stress, pain or restriction in mobility. We do not treat symptomatically or only focus on problem areas. Nor do we perform a light ‘relaxation massage’ designed to give short term relief. Instead, we treat the tension which is so often the root cause of pain and restriction.

Progress Quickly

Our intensive method of training suits mature people who want to quickly learn an effective and popular style of massage. To this end, we offer an intensive 5 day Certificate Course as well as a Diploma Course and our Advanced Practitioners Diploma Course. Students at our courses will be massaging and practicing techniques every day.

1. Online Introduction to Raynor Naturopathic Massage Level 1: Perfect for beginners, this course covers the essential massage techniques and principles in a short timeframe, giving you a strong foundation to build upon.
2. Raynor Massage Certificate Course: Ideal for beginners, this course covers fundamental techniques and principles, providing you with a solid foundation in Raynor Massage.
3. Raynor Massage Diploma Course: Take your skills to the next level with our Diploma program, delving into intricate techniques to address complex issues and conditions.
4. Raynor Massage Advanced Diploma: Aspiring professionals can enroll in this comprehensive program, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to establish a thriving practice.

Learn Practical Skills

Whether it’s the Certificate, Diploma or Advanced Diploma Course, all of our courses focus on practical skills. Generally speaking, our students spend 80% of class hours practicing, receiving and observing massage. We spend the remaining 20% discussing the theory of Raynor massage and other subjects. These include hygiene, professional ethics, contraindications, the theory of hand and foot reflexology and the qualities of different aromatherapy oils.

Get Accredited & Insured

Our courses are accredited with the International Institute for Complementary Therapies, and the International Natural Therapies Association.
