Welcome to Brandon Raynor’s Massage and Natural Therapies School in Canada!

We are one of the world’s leading massage schools and are the only massage school to operate in 8 countries around the world. In Canada we have branches of our school in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and Kelowna.

Introductory talk by Brandon Raynor explaining the philosophy and methods of Raynor Massage Therapy:

We offer you the opportunity to learn to massage with one of the world’s masters of massage, Naturopathic physician, Brandon Raynor, and his teachers.

This is a special and unique style of massage that is simple, easy to learn, extremely effective at getting rid of stress, tension and emotional imbalances and one of the most effective styles of massage currently available in the world of transformational body work.

It is a Naturopathic form of massage therapy, in that we emphasis a holistic approach to the human being. We see a person as more than just a physical body. We see a person from a mind, body and spirit perspective and our massage style is designed with this approach in mind.

Brandon Raynor talking about the Canadian massage industry:

Brandon Raynor has had extensive training in the medical systems of Ayurveda, from India and also the medical systems of Japan, China, Thailand and Hawaii as well as Western Naturopathic and massage training. With that in mind he has combined and taken the best techniques and simplified the philosophies of these systems of massage and healing and has come up with his own Raynor Naturopathic massage.

Raynor Naturopathic Massage looks at the human being from the perspective that we are a spiritual person inhabiting a temporary physical body. We also have a subtle body consisting of the mind and the emotions. From ancient times in India and China and elsewhere, disease is seen as an imbalance between the spirit, the mind and the body and healing has been used to try and create a harmony or unity of purpose between the spirit, the emotions and the body. Through Raynor Naturopathic massage we work through the physical and subtle layers of the body to realign a person with their true spirit. Much of our work involves clearing out of the body of stored emotions such as sadness, grief, anger, rage, anxiety, shame and guilt. We place special emphasis on deep abdominal massage that often accesses these stored emotions and brings them to the surface and releases them. This massage can also be used as one of the most effective treatments for common stress tension and for improving sporting performance.

Raynor Naturopathic massage is taught in a very simple format consisting of 3 distinct courses. Our certificate level course is a 5 day course teaching our basic techniques and basic strategy of a massage. You will learn how to do a full body massage including massaging the hands, feet, head and basic abdominal massage as well as the usual areas such as the back, legs and arms. This is a great course for people wanting to practice massage therapy on friends and family and have a good basic introduction to Raynor Naturopathic massage.

For those people wanting to start a new career in massage we recommend a minimum level of our Diploma in Raynor Naturopathic Massage. This course goes more into depth about abdominal massage and also reflexology and aromatherapy. We also have a student clinic in this course where students can practice on a member of the general public. The Certificate course is a pre requisite to this course and most time people take the two courses right after each other and we offer a special price if the student chooses to do it this way.

For those people wanting to be a serious practitioner of Raynor Naturopathic massage we recommend the Advanced Diploma course in Raynor Naturopathic massage. Brandon Raynor himself is the only one who teaches this course and the main emphasis in this course is on abdominal massage and emotional release. Advanced techniques for getting rid of neck tension and stiffness are also shown during this course and the students also have an opportunity to receive massage from the founder of this style of massage to see how it feels to be treated by an expert therapist in the healing arts.

These courses are conducted annually in Canada and also more often at the Brandon Raynor retreat and natural therapies center in Makaha Hawaii. Here we have an organic farm and are in the process of developing our retreat center on the ocean developed by Brandon Raynor. It is a beautiful 2 acre farm filled with organic tropical fruits and vegetables that are served fresh to course participants at lunch and also a Naturopathic herb garden. Bookings are limited on these courses so you have to book in advance.

Raynor Naturopathic massage is an intense and condensed way to learn massage therapy and is quite different than the mainstream Registered Massage Therapist approach to massage therapy. Registered Massage Therapists tend to focus on learning a lot of Latin names for the body and look at the body more like modern medicine as a collection of muscles, bones etc. The massage therapy training that they undergo is a very intellectual approach to the body and does not emphasis the interconnectedness of the mind body and spirit nor does it recognize the thousands of years of experience and philosophy that Oriental medicine, Ayurveda and Hawaiian massage have brought to the history and philosophical approach to massage and healing in general.

RMT training tends to be strictly medical type massage and a very specialist field, whereas Raynor Naturopathic massage is broad holistic health practitioner working with a person's psyche as well as their body. A certain higher level of maturity is required to be a good Raynor Naturopathic massage practitioner because we are dealing with the whole realm of emotions as well as the purely physical aspects of massage.

It is a career that will never leave you bored as you start to understand so much more about human beings and begin to take steps to help people with the myriad of many physical, mental, and emotional and sometimes even spiritual problems that people come to you with. There is nothing more satisfying than after finishing work for the day knowing that you have helped a person to feel more alive, clear and more full of health and less filled with stress, tension, anger and frustration than they were at the start of the treatment.

We therefore welcome you to a whole new world of healing and hope that his choice of a new career or a change in your career will be one of the best decisions you will ever make in your life.
