| Raynor Massage Courses in Ottawa, Ontario |
Ottawa, Ontario Massage School - An Alternative to Registered Massage Therapy Schools
Our massage school in Ottawa offers Raynor Massage Certificate Courses and Raynor Massage Diploma Courses. This course does not give you Registered Massage Therapist status within Ontario but does allow you to work as a Raynor Practitioner and offer effective Raynor treatments to your clients. On completion of the course you can also get insured as a practitioner. For more information about Raynor massage please see the articles called What is Raynor massage, What is Chi and the Body as Elements. 
Not only that but our Raynor massage course teaches you to become an excellent bodywork professional. This is due to our intensive learning techniques that make advanced massage concepts simple and easy to understand. Brandon Raynor has spent over twenty years traveling around the world studying massage and this Massage Certificate course draws on techniques from many of the world's great massage traditions which are merged with techniques created by Brandon Raynor himself. These techniques, which you will learn and practice, combine to achieve the overall goal of the total release of all tension in the muscles of the body. In philosophical terms, drawing from both Chinese and Indian traditions, Raynor massage opens up the channels or meridians through which the chi or prana (life force) flows. People leave this massage with a relaxed body and mind and feeling re-balanced. You will learn how to massage in this holistic and very powerful technique. The five day intensive Certificate courseThe five day intensive Certificate course is an excellent way to get started with Raynor Massage. Being taught in a group of no more than 16 you will start massaging on day one of the course! Under the expert guidance of one of our teachers you will learn about, practice and experience Raynor Massage. This unique form of massage is taught in a unique way. There will be tutor input for 20% of the course, 40% of your time will be spent giving hands on massage and for the remainder of the course you will learn by experiencing the massage. Working with different partners of different body types across the five days you will learn to find tension in the body and then learn how to eliminate it. Muscles hold tension for all kinds of reasons; the stress of modern living, sports training, injuries, bad posture, hours spent hunched over the keyboard, problems experienced at work or home, all of these things are held in our muscles and lead to problems of tension and pain. Untreated this tension can lead to longer term problems both physically and in our mental well being, as a trained Raynor Massage practitioner you can have a positive effect on people and learn to release them from this muscular tension. Under the expert teaching of one of our teachers you will study in a group of no more than 16 people and we expect that everyone completing the course will be a very good massage practitioner by the time they qualify. Because Raynor Massage is such a unique massage style you can become incredibly effective with just two weeks of training and be able to integrate both reflexology and aromatherapy into your massage practice. This course is only available to those who have already studied the Certificate level, introductory course to Raynor Massage, even if you have massage experience in other massage styles, Raynor Bodywork is so different that you can only join the Diploma on completion of your Certificate.. To see the details of Certificate course please click here. Our Intensive 5 Day Diploma CourseAs with the Certificate course this unique form of massage is taught in a very hands-on way. The same 20% of tutor input, 40% massaging and 40% being massaged applies for the Diploma course as it does for the Certificate, this is because you will learn so much from both giving and receiving the massage. You will again work with different people across the week so that you can gain experience working with different body types. On the final day of the course we open the doors for our 'student clinic' when we invite friends, family and members of the public in to receive free massage. This is an integral part of the assessment of the Diploma where you carry out everything learnt on the course, from taking a case history, selecting oils, giving the actual full body treatment and discussing aftercare advice with your client. The aim of the massage remains the same for the Diploma as for the Certificate, you are learning to find tension in the body and then learn how to eliminate it. On the Diploma course this tension release is taken to a deeper level and it is often possible to access tension that has been stored for many years, even since childhood. The Diploma trains the massage practitioner to work in greater depth with the meridians, or channels, through which Chi (Prana) flows, releasing stagnant Chi and dealing with deep set muscular tension. This Diploma in Raynor Massage Course is designed by Brandon Raynor and is only available through the Brandon Raynor School of Natural Therapies. It is run in locations throughout the world. All teachers are Advanced Practitioners in Raynor Massage who have been trained by and have worked with Brandon and whom he has personally approved. Brandon has spent over twenty years traveling around the world studying massage and continues to do so today. The Diploma course specifically draws on two additional disciplines from worldwide understanding of massage in its focus on both reflexology and aromatherapy. You can study for our Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Practitioner Diploma courses in Ontario.

Hey Brandon, First of all, I'd like to thank you for the wonderful course you created and the incredible technique you developed. I apologize for not giving you some feedback sooner. The two weeks of taking the course were two of the most life-changing weeks of my life. Terry was an excellent teacher and mentor. We were lucky, having a small class and getting more attention. I found that Terry was extremely patient and allowed me to come to my own realizations, while repeatedly hitting important points. It was also good to have his partner Stephanie there, because she was familiar with the technique and able to help out. Receiving the treatment was amazing. I felt a lot of electricity and had an extremely intense release. It opened me up in a way I've never experienced before. As I got into working on others I felt more of a connection to the energy. Some of the experiences I had, I can only describe as supernatural. I never knew such things were possible. Its hard to put my experience into words. I'm back full-time at University, working part-time. As I re-acclimatize myself to the academic world, I know that I can stay rooted through massage and tuning into my body. I'm pumped to start up my practice. For now, I'm content to give massages, it keeps me grounded and feels good to be of service and spread healing. It's wonderful what you've brought into the world and I express my humblest gratitude.

Our teacher was a very good instructor. He puts his heart into his teachings and was very professional. He always went to lengths to make sure that he was understood and that he understood you. It's almost unbelievable that you can learn such a great technique in 2 weeks!

I learnt techniques that will not only benefit me as a massage practitioner but also as a physical therapist
I have felt pain in my hip and entire right side since Feb 2005 and the pain is gone. My mind is also clear which has not been for years. Great instructor! I will be back for the Diploma!

I was about to go to New York for 6 months to study massage, and I am so happy I came here instead. I have been in different courses in my life
This massage course was amazing.

I would recommend this massage course to everyone and anyone seeking knowledge of the healing power of touch from teachers to Doctors. I truly could not envision a more perfect way to learn such basic essential knowledge that we should all know as a human community. You are all the best hands down. This course will change my life
