Learning Raynor Massage offers a unique set of benefits compared to the path of becoming a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), especially for individuals seeking a holistic and efficient approach to wellness and healing. Here are some of the key advantages:

  1. Holistic Approach: Raynor Massage focuses on treating the body as an interconnected whole, rather than isolating specific areas. This approach acknowledges the intricate link between physical tension and emotional or mental stress, aiming for a comprehensive release of blockages. This holistic perspective can provide deeper relief and more profound healing experiences for clients, catering not just to physical ailments but also addressing emotional and energetic aspects.

    Shorter Training Duration: One of the most significant advantages of learning Raynor Massage is the shorter duration of the courses. This allows individuals to quickly gain practical skills and knowledge, enabling them to start practicing and applying their massage skills in a much shorter timeframe compared to the lengthy education required to become an RMT. This aspect is particularly appealing for those looking to make a swift career change or add massage therapy to their existing skill set.

  3. Hands-on Learning Experience: Raynor Massage courses prioritize practical, hands-on experience, with students spending a substantial portion of their training practicing, receiving, and observing massages. This immersive learning environment helps students develop a keen sense of touch and an intuitive understanding of tension and relaxation, which are crucial skills for any successful massage therapist.
  4. Global Recognition: Although Raynor Massage practitioners may not use the title “massage therapist” in some jurisdictions due to local regulatory requirements, the training and certification are recognized internationally. Graduates can practice as Raynor bodywork therapists or massage professionals, offering services across different regions and even globally, depending on local laws and regulations.

Brandon Raynor Massage course was so helpful in that it has helped me, as an already practicing therapist, to further discern the roots of body tension and release it.
I also really enjoyed meeting Brandon and his personality is a breath of fresh air as a teacher and therapist.
The course is great as it has enmeshed within its content different aspects of other massage modalities from around the world. This aspect about the course was a gem for me as I learnt some of the best parts from other massage cultures.
I highly recommend the course to anyone starting their journey as a therapist or if you are already a therapist.
Thanks again Brandon

ADVANCED RAYNOR MASSAGE COURSE I had an incredible 6 days learning more in depth Raynor massage last week in Australia. Brandon Raynor is so passionate about his teaching that his courses are priceless. I have been practicing Raynor massage over the last 6 years with amazing results. What I learned last week are bringing me to the next level of understanding this incredible modality. I understand more in depth the power of rhythm and flow and the importance of the breath. Advanced course is the next level. Any Raynor practitioner should do it. You have the chance to practice on other qualified students and receive quality massages like nowhere else. I already practice differently since I am back, and the results speak for themselves. I don't need to do much advertising; my clients take my cards and word of mouth is enough! If you are ready to change your life, ready to release your trapped body tensions (physical and emotional), you will feel like a new person. Thank you, Brandon, for this amazing opportunity to take this course and meet wonderful practitioners.

I'm so grateful for the amazing opportunity to do the 3 day course with Brandon and Lily. I was part of quite a large group of lovely people, and they both held so much space, guidance, knowledge and skill for all of us. I learnt a lot about what I needed to let go of within my body and soul, and how I can guide others to do the same. Thank you so much Brandon and Lily.

I spent 7 days hands on with Brandon, Lilly and about a dozen friendly students like myself. I signed on as a beginner, I did the online course, and though upon arrival I was behind my fellow students in skill (some of whom were extremely experienced in various caring arts) I never felt neglected. The course I attended was truly a boutique course where Brandon worked his way through the group, demonstrating and teaching according to our individual ability and experience. It's undeniable that we all had our minds blown. I would recommend the experience to anyone. My level of bodily awareness has totally changed, the level of detail was fascinating, and if you are a novice like me you will also be in the best hands!
Thanks

P.S. my once-injured toe moves a lot better after all the massage practice we did LOL

Brandon is an absolutely beautiful man with a heart of gold & so knowledgeable. Thankyou Brandon xx

After being diagnosed with rhuemtoid arthritis 18 months ago I had lost alot of strength and was suffering terribly from chronic fatigue. I had also suffered from an incredibly tight and tender big toe, which gives me alot of sciatic pain. I have tried many different techniques and therapies over the years including physiotherapy, bowen therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and have also seen many healing gurus around the globe to relieve the tension in my toe with no success. After one treatment from Brandon I can say with great relief that my toe is finally free from 40 years of tension. The raynor technique is not only effective, it's absolutely life changing. Brandon's intuition, years of experience, kindness, empathy and compassion make him not only a fantastic healer but also an outstanding teacher. Being in his class has given me the extra energy, confidence and happiness that's had been lacking for some time. Thanks again Brandon. I'm very grateful for all you do!
