Brandon Raynor’s School of Natural Therapies offers 5 day Raynor Massage Certificate CourseRaynor Massage Diploma Courses in Perth on a regular basis.
Brandon Raynor started teaching Remedial massage courses in Sydney in 1998, after he was working in Herbal Solutions Massage and Natural Therapy Centre in Bondi Beach, and had many people ask him where they could learn to massage in the same way that he did. He was very well known for his strong and deep form of massage that used acupressure and breathing techniques to achieve a very deep and strong state of deep relaxation, emotional release and tension release in his clients.
Brandon had actually started to learn to massage in 1991, while living in Sydney, completing his Diploma of Remedial Massage with Health Schools Australia. He went on to do a Zen Shiatsu course at the Shiatsu Ryoho college in 1992 and found this fascinating approach to massage using acupressure points and gentle leaning in and working with a clients breath to be very powerful.
After moving to Byron Bay in Northern NSW in 1993 Brandon worked at Samadhi's Natural Health Centre and was fortunate to be able to do many massage swaps with many of the massage therapists and other natural health practitioners in Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. He was influenced by practitioners such as Carole Starr who was using breathe work to facilitate emotional releases, as well as being influenced by massage therapists who were combining deep tissue massage with acupuncture and acupressure points to achieve a high level of deep muscle tension relief in their clients.
By the time Brandon finished his Naturopathy Diploma in 1994 ( by correspondence with Health Schools Australia) he was well on his way to developing his own style of massage therapy.
Brandon continued his studies, specializing in Oriental and Ayurvedic Medicine (from India), completing his Diplomas in Chinese Herbal medicine in 1995 and his Diploma of Ayurvedic Medicine a couple of years later. His knowledge of oriental medicine helped him to see the body in a different light and understand much more about the subtleties of the life energy or what has been called "chi" in Chinese Medicine or "prana" in Ayurvedic Medicine.
Soon he was using this knowledge of the subtle body in combination with the breathe work that Carol had shown him and the deep massage techniques he had learnt in Byron Bay, to be able to do a very powerful massage treatment. Some people compared it to Rolfing, a style of very deep massage popular in America, but it was very unique in its emphasis on acupressure points, breathing and the importance of abdominal massage. By 1995 Brandon was teaching shiatsu massage courses in Byron Bay.
Brandon also learnt through his many years of study that doing a good massage is actually quite simple. While recognising that some theoretical knowledge can be useful, giving a good massage didn't involve rote learning Latin or Greek muscle names, and spending endless hours learning all sorts of theory.
Brandon discovered that what really made a good massage therapist was the ability to release tension. This involved getting a good feel for massage and also understanding how muscle tension is interconnected in the human body. His knowledge of Eastern Medicine helped him to understand this better.
For example a person could have tight feet and this would then make their legs tight, which would make their hips tight, which would make their back tight, which would make their neck tight and hence would cause them headaches.
There were many different relationships within the human body that Brandon, and other therapists had figured out and he believed that these were the most important things to teach people who wanted to learn massage.
Therefore when Brandon had his clients ask him where they could learn massage like that at a massage course in Sydney he said he could teach them to be excellent therapists in just 4 days, because he would cut through all the unnecessary knowledge that you would never use that was being taught at many massage schools in Sydney and across the world and only teach his students the distilled essence of his many years of experience.
This was the start of Brandon Raynor's School of Natural Therapies. His massage courses in Sydney soon proved so popular that by 2001 he was teaching in many locations throughout Australia including teaching his massage courses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth and by 2002 had expanded to start holding massage courses in the UK and massage courses in the USA and Canada and South Africa.
He now has trained several of his students to teach his massage courses in Sydney and the massage courses are held worldwide, in 25 cities in 12 different countries.
He changed his massage courses to make them slightly longer by changing it to a 5 day Massage Certificate Course and an extended course that includes reflexology, aromatherapy and more time to practice as hisMassage Diploma Course.
These two massage courses may be useful for those wanting to get Australian Government qualifications. Once a student completes the training with us, the student can then apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL or credits) towards a Government Accredited Australian Massage qualification. Therefore, Recognition of Prior Learning for the practical aspects of that course will be considered. Many students with previous health qualifications may also be exempt from further subjects and be able to receive a Government accredited IV quicker after completing our course.
If a student completes our Diploma of Raynor Massage they may gain further recognition of prior learning. In addition, if you are already a nurse or other health practitioner, you may be exempt from further subjects. The combination course gives a student a more rounded education in the area of massage practice. If you go on to complete Government accredited qualifications, you then can apply for health fund rebates for your clients.
By gaining Government accreditation, it may open more doors for you to work around the world. For example, Brandon can practice in Hawaii using his Australian Government Accredited Diploma of Remedial Massage.
Brandon now lives between Sydney, Melbourne and Makaha, Hawaii where he is setting up a worldwide massage retreat training centre, while his teachers continue teaching his massage courses in Melbourne and other locations across the world. Brandon also travels regularly around the world lecturing and giving Advanced Raynor massage classes. He will be holding an Advanced Massage Diploma Course in Perth and Sydney in 2010 and in Melbourne in early 2011.
The massage courses are taught at the Swanbourne Surf Live Saving Club, overlooking the beach and we currently hold our 5 day Massage certificate Course and Massage Diploma Courses in Perth on a 3 monthly schedule.

If you live in Perth then the easy answer is – convenience! If you don’t live here then why not combine your training with a trip to Perth, Western Australia. On the banks of the Swan River, according to Aboriginal folklore the Swan River was created by a large mythical snake known as the Waggyl, which slithered its way through the area creating the bends and gullies which shaped the river. With shopping, gardens and river trips there will always be something to do once classes are finished and you continue to relax into the evening.
Accommodation is plentiful, from luxury hotels to hostels, B&Bs and guesthouses – there is plenty of choice in Perth.

Graduate Feedback - Testimonial

Hi Brandon,
I hope my email finds you excellent in good health and wealthy in spirits.
Just wanted to let you know that today I was approached from BHP Billeton ( Mining Company) to obtain my interest in working with their company as soon as we can organize a meeting to find out what I would require to set up my massage business in conjunction with their company.
I can't tell you what a huge buzz I have gotten from all of this. Especially being told that I have come highly recommended. I don't have to tell you how I already get a buzz from my business as it is now.
So in short, what I'm really wanting to say is thank you, for opening up my eyes to a whole new world. A different approach to life and the skills to be able to help those that need it.
I'm hanging out to do the last part of the diploma next week in Perth. I'm not sure whether it is the lure of some more hands on massaging......( boy could I use it right now) or just to obtain that further knowledge.........
Once again, thank you for what you have followed through with your dream, and allowing the rest of us to share in it.Regards,
Maria Teale
