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.

Hi my name is Jason, I'm a computer animator from Hawaii. I had a chronic stiff neck for years. It felt like I had a neck brace cause I could barely turn my head. Looked like a robot. Tried yoga and other stretching techniques but still it only helped about 10%. I met Brandon and he gave me a treatment. After one treatment my neck felt 50% better and after 2 more my neck was like new! I couldn't believe how effective his technique was. My wife also got treatments and she loved it. So told me I had to learn from him...If you have headaches or stiff neck or back issues etc then you must give Brandons massage a try. Sign up for a class or find a Raynor therapist near you.

Jason Leue 23 Apr 2018

I've just finished the diploma massage course. I've previously done another massage course and I can say Brandon's course surpasses the other course I did. Completely loved this course, defiantly recommend if you want to become a health practitioner and assist people along their healing journey ✌🏽️👌🙌🏾🙏
Thank you so much Brandon for the opportunity to learn from you and expand my knowledge base.

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 would like to thank Brandon and Cori for their great support in helping me complete the Diploma in Raynor Massage. Loved everyday and we had such fantastic group. :)

Julie Gear 23 Apr 2017

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.

I just completed the diploma course in Perth (April 2017) and I just loved everything about it!
I came specially from NZ, so I was already motivated. It was exactly what I wanted. It is more than a simple massage that we all have probably experienced. I had personally personal emotional releases and the last one has been very beneficial. I have been able to finally understand all my anger, sadness that I worked for a lot of years at the emotional level but I never realised that the body keeps the memories as well. The same evening I have been able to forgive myself, and I changed the traumatic images into beautiful images. It is an enormous transformation and it will help me in my future.
Raynor massage are perfect if you are looking for the roots of your tensions, problems. It is powerful, especially if you have already started to work on yourself and if you mix it with other type of healing such as changing diet, meditation, healing, acupuncture etc...
If you are looking for a work conversion, it is a great start. I am just at the beginning of this conversion journey but I am convinced that it was the right move to do this course. Thank you to both Brandon and his lovely wife Cori.

Aurélie Lilly McKenzie 17 Apr 2017

Mind Blowing !! I am so glad I took this course. I learnt so much from Brandon & Cori. This whole experience has changed how I value tension and emotions trapped inside. From learning from this course I know have the ability to give back to the world and help people get rid of their tenstion, stress, sadness and all emotions. I highly recommend this course !!

Hayley Fisher 23 Apr 2018
