What makes Raynor Massage and our massage training in Calgary different?
Our massage courses in Calgary are designed to make you a great massage practitioner in a very short space of time. Our courses are hands-on and we work with you to help you develop you sense of touch and to trust your intuition. Studying in small groups we are able to work with you to help develop your strengths and to work on any weaknesses or areas where you lack confidence. Rather than spending hours rote learning Latin names for muscles and studying for exams, on our massage courses you will learn to detect muscle tension and blocked energy in its many forms, layers and channels in the individual clients’s body. You will learn to trace problems to their source rather than just treating them where the pain or tension is experienced. For more information please see the articles What is Raynor massage, and What is Chi.

On our short and intensive courses we will train you to work with the whole person with the aim of assisting the person to a place of wellness, you can read more of this in the article What is Health. A client may be experiencing headaches or neck pain but the real problem may come from tightness in the hands which travels up through the arms and into the neck and the head causing the tension to be felt as headaches.
Our understanding is that the emotional and physical body are intricately interconnected, emotional tension will manifest itself as physical tension leading to a drawing in or tightening of the muscles, for many people this is something that may have developed and been embedded for many years. Because we work with the whole person so holistically, our approach to massage is an excellent remedy to treat anxiety, depression, deep seated emotional disturbances, stress and can also work to heal back pain, various injuries, repetitive strain problems, pinched nerves, sciatica, muscular spasms, aches, pain, stiffness, migraines, arthritis, scoliosis, and some forms of immobility.eadaches. We will teach you to how to find where the source of the tension is and then how to release it. It is this heightened sense of touch, alongside a holistic understanding of how the body functions at both a physical and energetic level which will give you the ability to break up and release this muscular tension from it roots. Raynor Massage draws knowledge from many centuries worth of massage traditions and understandings from around the world.

This past summer I took the diploma course in Toronto. I am 48 years old and have been raising my own and my daycare children for 27 years, and for the past couple of years have known that I had to move on to something else, however didn’t quite know to what. Massage kept niggling in my mind. Then I found the Brandon Raynor site online and spoke to past grads who highly recommended the course. I decided to take a chance in my life and follow this dream, even though I had no past experience in massage. It was more than I could have ever could have hoped for! Amazing what you can learn in two weeks as far as understanding massage and how to help people using the great techniques learned. My teacher was very understanding and patient as I grew stronger with my technique over the two weeks, and I still keep in touch with a wonderful group of supportive and fun classmates. My clients are surprised at what thorough massage they receive. Fantastically Fulfilling!! Thanks for this incredible course! I consider myself fortunate to have been introduced to this technique of massaging. Every person that have been massaged by me, are impressed with the immediate results and also by the fact the I have been doing it only for a few weeks, which is a compliment to the course and instructor. The course opened up a whole new world of interest for me. Cheryl Stranger Raynor massage school Toronto graduate 2008
Taking the Raynor training was a turning point in my career … The techniques I learned have blended well with my aromatherapy clinical practice and my clients are very pleased with the results. Karen Hanna – Completed Raynor massage school Calgary, Alberta, Canada 2007 http://www.aromassage.ca/

Hey Brandon, First of all, I’d like to thank you for the wonderful course you created and the incredible technique you developed. I apologize for not giving you some feedback sooner.The two weeks of taking the course were two of the most life-changing weeks of my life. Terry was an excellent teacher and mentor. We were lucky, having a small class and getting more attention. I found that Terry was extremely patient and allowed me to come to my own realizations, while repeatedly hitting important points. It was also good to have his partner Stephanie there, because she was familiar with the technique and able to help out.
Receiving the treatment was amazing. I felt a lot of electricity and had an extremely intense release. It opened me up in a way I’ve never experienced before. As I got into working on others I felt more of a connection to the energy. Some of the experiences I had, I can only describe as supernatural. I never knew such things were possible.Its hard to put my experience into words.I’m back full-time at University, working part-time. As I re acclimatize myself to the academic world, I know that I can stay rooted through massage and tuning into my body. I’m pumped to start up my practice. For now, I’m content to give massages, it keeps me grounded and feels good to be of service and spread healing.
It’s wonderful what you’ve brought into the world and I express my humblest gratitude. Thank you, Ian MacCauley – ilmacaulay@gmail.com | Completed massage course in Canada 2009
“We would like to take this opportunity once again to thank you and your staff, in particular, Brent Hewinson for the wonderful training we have in Vancouver. My business is doing quite well since my clients really appreciate the Raynor technique and about 95% of the clients are repeated customer that don’t mind spending money for a nice, deep, shaping up massage!!”

It was an excellent course and I’m glad I took it. It was hands on and the students got to learn to massage right away'” Hermie N, Completed Raynor Massage School Calgary 2012
” I just want to thank you for changing me and my life in a very positive way in a short period of time, you have great energy and I am transferring it thru me to my family and people I care about. I know you like to deflect the credit to your teachers, but I think we have some similarities in our past travels and I am so glad my rough road lead me to you and the Brandon Raynor course, have a safe flight and keep in touch.
Thank you again.”” Ken, completed massage course in Toronto 2012
The course teachings, materials, even the giving and receiving massages was more than I ever hoped for. By the third day I had already decided to leave my job as a contractor for Canada Post. This is what I will be giving to anyone who seeks the releasing of tension period the end…
One of the things of the many I enjoyed was everyone’s expressions on their face after they had a break through (beaming with light). If I could help people reach their core and feel their own essence and allow that light to be expressed on their face and in their life. This will be an amazing way to live my life through the expression of others.
Too often in today’s world we put ideas or suggestions in people’s minds you can call it persuasion or manipulation even on the extreme brainwashing. It is such a beautiful thing when there are no words attached and the person can express themselves in a non invasive manner releasing their own tension and not someone else’s idea of what they think their tension is. This massage technique has that gentleness of a mother bear watching over her cubs allowing them freedom to explore on harmed also the strength of her when she guides a predator away.
I could say many things the course was amazing, all of it. I especially liked the way it’s taught, by the end of ten days you are experiencing layers of tension peeling away and get a great sense for how other’s will also feel after they receive the massage. There is no way to have a better understanding than through receiving. When you receive and feel that relief is possible this always leads to wisdom, for self also for others.

Hi Terry, hope your doing well. I just wanted to thank you for being such a great teacher! I had my surgery and finished my recovery time and am now back to work. My husband and I created our own line of products for the spa and have used essentials oils in a lot of our products. There has been a nice response to our line. I did my first massage on a lady on Tue and it was challenging. She has a huge lists of health issues and complaints. When she was leaving the spa however she looked very ill and not pleased, I was so concerned. I called her later that night and she said she was fine. I thought maybe I would never see her again. To my surprise she phoned to book two more appt’s. She wants to come back every couple days. Wednesday was ok for her but she said Thur was the first day that her pain was only in the background and she was finally able to do something productive with her day. I just finished another appt with her and she was able to let me get deeper because of her breathing. She was impressed that I worked with her breathe something she mentioned was never done on any other massage she had recieved. Again, thank you Terry for being such a caring teacher. I have four more booked this week, one being a return client and two word of mouth. Keep in touch Terry and take care, Gail

Hi Brandon,
I took your massage course in Sydney in December 2002. I am back in Canada now. I’ve been doing massage for friends and family in my small town. My patients have been quite receptive to the massage. One friend told me she couldn’t believe my course was only 4 days, and that it was one of the best massages she had had. She felt 100% better after the massage. There is no massage like yours in Canada, and I truly believe it is the best type of massage. Thank you again for bringing it into my life. I only wish I had someone here to massage me!!
Best wishes and health

Amazing, Awesome… really enjoyed the 2 weeks with Terry.. He is not only a great teacher but a wonderful person.. He shares his knowledge of massage and also his theory on life.. He is an inspiration to all he touches… I met new friends and was able to share my sadness and my joys with them.. I am looking forward to using my teachings in all of my volunteer work at the nursing home and the womans shelter and with more practice be able to make a living as a Raynor Massage Therapist.. My dream would to be as great as Terry and be able to share my new talents as a teacher some day.. I am going to work hard on saving to be able to come to Hawaii for the next course.. And god willing and lots of hard work I will make it there. I know have a new outlook on life thanks to Terry and the Raynor Course and I have chosen to practice it everyday with all those I meet… I will promote your organization to the fullest and encourage others to partake in the upcoming course in Toronto in October where Terry will be teaching as well…
I will stay in touch and send you updates on my progress and names of anyone interested in the upcoming courses..””
