About the Business

On a sunny afternoon in Bondi, after a transformative massage session, a curious client inquired how to learn the unfamiliar massage techniques that he had just experienced. Brandon Raynor, the massage practitioner, informed him that the massage techniques were a fusion of his own unique style along with a combination of different modalities that he had learned at various natural therapies schools over the past ten years.

Understanding time limitation, Brandon reckoned that he could train someone to be an effective massage therapist in a quicker amount of time than traditional massage schools he had attended. Prompted by the challenge to improve the quality and efficiency of massage education, Brandon Raynor's School of Natural Therapies was born.

First, the goal of every massage is for the practitioner to help their client to free up any tension, stress and emotional blockages in a holistic manner.

Massage Therapy Courses

Massage Therapy Courses

Each course is designed to be short but intensive; incorporating the knowledge and the most powerful techniques from the world’s leading massage modalities along with many innovations and adaptations drawn upon 25 years of experience from Naturopath Brandon Raynor.

One of the most important aspects of Raynor Massage is the holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of the body, mind and soul. Many emotional stressors and imbalances cause physical tension and stress in the body. Raynor Massage has, as its goal, the ridding the body of all tension. Releasing tension will open subtle energy channels or meridians through which the qi or life force flows—restoring the body and mind to a state of balance and relaxation.

Our courses emphasize learn-by-doing whereby one of our highly skilled instructors will give demonstrations on a massage technique followed by the students pairing up and practising the techniques on each other. This will enable you to work with different body types and individuals presented with various “problem areas” so that you are equipped to deal with a wide range of clients.

In addition, you will receive massages allowing for personal healing, growth and an understanding of the effects of Raynor Massage. During this time, the instructor will be on hand to give you one on one feedback for corrections and improvements, enabling you to develop competency and confidence in your own massage skills in a short period of time.

Whether you want to become a professional massage therapist, are a current massage therapist looking to add a new technique to your repertoire or just want to learn how to massage family and friends, we offer three level of courses to suit your needs.
