School History
Brandon Raynor's School of Natural Therapies began in Australia in 1999 and began work in New Zealand in 2002 has grown to be an international school teaching massage on five continents. It maintains its Southern Hemisphere roots with its only two permanent clinics at 45 Oxford St in Bondi Junction, Sydney and at 181 High St in Northcote, Melbourne where New Zealand visitors to Australia can book a treatment and to compare for yourself the power of Raynor Massage above others available in the market.
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.
We teach in 3 locations in New Zealand with our Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington courses. In Australia we now teach in Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Darwin, Gold Coast, Hobart Tasmania, Melbourne, Perth, Sunshine Coast, Sydney 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 goal of a good massage is to find any chronic muscle tension, even when the person is relaxed, and to get rid of it. In Eastern styles of massage there is also a central goal to develop sensitivity to the flow of the chi, or life force, through the body and to open up the various channels through which it flows and remove any blockages. Raynor massage combines these two goals offering a holistic and highly effective treatment.
Along with the development of its own unique techniques, Raynor Massage adapted techniques from many styles of massage, including; therapeutic and remedial massage, deep tissue massage, reflexology, Shiatsu massage, Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian massage), Tui Na, Acupressure, Thai and Swedish massage and integrated the most effective parts of these treatments. In this way, we have developed a very powerful and focused style of both massage and teaching. We do stay focused on our goal of getting the tension out of people and unblocking them.

Our courses are open to everyone from the age 16 and there are no qualification prerequisites to
do our course, we simply request that students have a passion to learn and a desire to help others
through massage. Our courses can involve emotional transformations in people that do require a
mature perspective on emotional matters.
The main emphasis in our teaching of massage therapy is to equip the students to feel and find
muscle tightness in the body and know how to get rid of it. We train our students to feel tension.
Our courses are intensive and practical, we do not spend time in lectures, pouring over textbooks
and there are no written exams. We will recommend further reading for you and we encourage all of
our students to take their ongoing professional development seriously. As part of this our graduates
are entitled and encouraged to join INTA, the International Natural Therapists Association.
INTA members not only need to sign up to standards of professional behaviour but are linked into this
central point for information about ongoing professional development and to keep up to date with
massage developments, INTA also provides a global referral service for people wanting to find a
Raynor Practitioner near to them.
