Giving massages: We feel that it is very crucial that our students start massaging from the very beginning of the course. We believe that to study massage means to learn by doing. In this way one can, in a very short period of time, develop the sense of touch needed to be able to; connect to the massage recipient, detect tension in muscles and connective tissue, appreciate the energetic relationship between massage therapist and client, and begin to witness the impact of different manipulations on the body. Learning by doing is the biggest focus in any Raynor massage class.
Receiving massages: You can’t really become a good massage therapist without experiencing all of the massage techniques on yourself. Receiving a massage treatment will give you great insight into how each massage technique actually ‘feels’. This will help you to develop a sensitivity for the reactions and bodily cues of your future clients. Understanding your clients needs will be the key to your success as a masseuse.
Demonstration by our teachers: A Raynor massage class always includes teacher demonstrations of the various massage techniques and strategies used to release tension and blocked energy in the body. We know for a fact that seeing a technique performed by an experienced massage teacher will be of tremendous benefit to your career as a massage therapist.
All practical work in our massage classes will be done under the supervision of our teachers. They will also use creative teaching strategies including media-like audio and video presentations to enhance the learning experience.
The teacher (Brett Pascoe) maintained a professional demeanour throughout, maintaining discipline and balance, whilst in a relaxing and enjoyable environment. He excelled in his teaching ability and his knowledge was unquestionable and all questions were answered to full satisfaction.Amanda Becher
I found the course amazing! I learnt so much is such a short space of time and feel confident to get out there and start my own massage business. Highly recommended and an excellent step into the massage industry.

I found the course to be very informative and extremely enjoyable. Mr Dean Barnes was brilliant in teaching the Raynor Massage technique and made sure that all students had a comprehension of all aspects involved in being a practioner. I am now confidently doing this technique and healing people. Thankyou for this knowledge, money well spent!

What a great course I learn 't so much in the two weeks I was there. Brandon is such a good teacher and taught us so much. I have since started my own massage business which is starting to pick up nicely. Everyone is really impressed with the massage. I would recommend the course to anyone who wanted to do massage.

I have just completed my Certificate in Massage of the Raynor Technique in Adelaide. I found it to be extremely informative, encouraging and a lot of fun. John is an excellent teacher and I could not fault him. It didn’t matter if he had to explain it over and over again; he encouraged us until we mastered it. I did a lot of research beforehand about different courses (most of them were part time over a long period) but I wanted to start earning money, so this was fantastic way to do it. The type of massage taught is different to anything I have experienced – you walk away feeling wonderful, but it helps align your body as a whole at the same time. I would recommend this course to anyone without hesitation

Not only have I learnt massage, the best part of it all is, I can use it- do something - work. I truly feel very privileged to be a participant of the Brandon Raynor's School of Natural Therapies.

I will definitely recommend this course to others- it has been a great experience for me in many ways. I really enjoyed learning all the different forms of massage, especially the bits derived from Hawaiian massage and shiatsu.

"It's life changing . My son died 3 years ago of a bad brain tumor. I nursed him for 5 years. Have cried a lot and let go of so much grief. Brandon Raynor’s Technique is so much more than just a massage. Thank You! It is the best course I've ever attended hands down. I've told my twin sons to attend and all my friends."
