Brandon Raynor's school of massage and natural therapies began in ‎Sydney, Australia in 1997. Today we teach on five continents taking this remarkable massage across the world. Open to anyone over the age of 16, the school’s massage courses are extremely popular with people looking for a career change or to diversify their existing skills. The average age on our courses is around 35 years and is ideal for people who don’t have the time or desire to go back to a full time, longer termed massage school but who still want to learn the skills of massage.

In Australia we now teach in Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Darwin, Gold Coast, Hobart Tasmania, Melbourne, Perth, ‎Sunshine Coast, Sydney. With demand ever growing and new venues being added to match this we are now one of the biggest massage schools in Australia.

In addition to the Australian courses we also teach in 3 locations in New Zealand with our Auckland, Christchurch and ‎Wellington courses and the compliment of courses in the Southern Hemisphere is completed with our South African courses in Cape Town and Johannesburg along with our course in Singapore and our new retreat course in Mauritius which has been introduced new for 2011 allowing people to complete the course as a training holiday.

The school began its expansion into the UK and the US in 2002. We now run very regular courses in London and this course tends to draw in students from across Europe. New to 2011 is the North of England course attracting students from England, Scotland and North Wales while our Dublin course attracts students from both Northern Ireland and Eire. In the US we run a retreat course in ‎Hawaii and our Certificate and Diploma courses in Vermont and Wyoming. In Canada we faced some stiff opposition from some of the big massage schools who opposed our short courses intruding onto their markets but we teach regular courses in Calgary Alberta, Edmonton Alberta, Kelowna British Columbia, Montreal Quebec, Ottawa Ontario, Saskatoon Saskatchewan, Toronto Ontario, Tweedsmuir British Columbia and Vancouver British Columbia.

Students across the world have been very excited to learn this very strong and effective style of massage and the awareness of the massage spreads as much through word of mouth as it does through marketing.

We use a variety of venues across the world, bringing the massage to people in a wide range of locations. When we used the East West Shiatsu School in Cambridge, Boston as one of our first US courses the comment was made by the owner of the massage school on how he was very surprised by how much the students learned in such a short period of time and how happy they all were with the course. Many of our graduates go on to establish and run successful independent businesses, others work in spas, hotels, gyms, with chiropractors, osteopaths and other alternative and complimentary therapists.

You can only qualify in Raynor Massage through this school; this course is not available as a massage course through your local college, by correspondence or through any other retreat or training course. All of our teachers are selected and personally trained by Brandon Raynor to ensure that the quality of teaching is excellent and it is possible to split your study across the world, for example taking your Certificate course in Australia, your Diploma course in London and your Advanced Diploma in Hawaii. Discounts are also available if you book to study all three courses at the same time, even if you split when and where you study the courses. Use our contact form or email info@brandonraynor.com for more details or to discuss your individual needs.

To represent the needs of our graduates, we established INTA (The International Natural Therapies Association) which provides a forum for professional development and a worldwide referral network for those looking for a practitioner. Our practitioner’s facebook group also provides a support network; many friendships made on the courses become long term friendships. Our class size is usually no more than 16 students allowing the teacher to give excellent support and ongoing personal feedback throughout the training and students to develop strong relationships with each other. This is hands on massage training delivered through short, intensive courses. You do not need previous experience or training to do our courses, our entry criteria is based on a willingness to learn and a desire to heal.
