We offer Certificate, Diploma, and Advanced Diploma massage courses in Hobart. Our courses are 1-2 weeks in length, intensive, and hands-on.

Our massage courses in Hobart are not like any other available in Australia. Although the courses are short, you will learn to massage in a way that will leave your clients wondering where you trained and how this massage is better than any other they have ever experienced. Our school was actually based in Launceston, Tasmania between 2003 and 2005 but has since re based to Queensland.

Each year we bring our short and intensive massage courses back to Tasmania, running courses in Hobart. If we don’t have a course available in Hobart you may want to come to another city or our main school in Gympie Queensland to take your course. Raynor Naturopathic Massage is known worldwide for its effectiveness in treating longstanding problems, getting to the heart of problems and resolving them. It has as its goal the aim of finding and eliminating tension in the body to allow the whole body, physically and energetically, to work as it should. After beginning in Australia, Raynor Naturopathic Massage is now a worldwide export and this system of bodywork is taught in several different countries worldwide. As a school, we remain committed to teaching these short massage training courses across Australia.

Our courses are very practical and hands on, by the afternoon of day one of the course you will be both massaging and being massaged under the watchful supervision of one of our teachers. All of our teachers are hand-picked and trained by Brandon Raynor. Brandon devised the massage and is Principal of the school and personally trains teachers to ensure that we provide high quality, value for money massage courses.

We don’t have any Raynor massage courses scheduled for Tasmania in 2015/2016 but we encourage you to attend our massage courses in Melbourne, Sydney or the Sunshine Coast.

An Introduction to Raynor Massage

Raynor Massage is a massage style developed by Naturopath Brandon Raynor and has become known as one of the most powerful deep tissue styles of massage in the world. This massage not only incorporates standard deep tissue massage techniques but also elements of acupressure, shiatsu massage, Thai massage, Hawaiian massage, Swedish massage and Ayurvedic massage as well as other Naturopathic techniques.

How are Raynor Massage courses different?

Our massage courses were developed with the learner in mind by a therapist who has been practicing in the field for many years. They are hands-on and individualized courses, designed to get you massaging from day one without spending time on theory that you never use. In our massage courses you will learn to develop your sense of touch so as to detect muscle tension and blocked energy in its many forms, layers and channels in the individual patient’s body. You will learn to trace problems to their source rather than just treating them locally. For more information please see What is Raynor massage, and What is Chi.

We train the therapist to work with the whole body and to work to restore it to wellness, you can read more of this in the article What is Health. A client may be getting headaches but the real problem with that person may be tightness in their hands which travels up the arms into the neck and into the head causing headaches. We will teach you to get to the source of this muscle tension and relieve it. This heightened sense of touch, and knowledge of how the body functions in a holistic manner, as well as the knowledge of a variety of techniques from the worlds’ most renowned massage styles, will give you the ability to break up and release this muscle tension from its roots.

A massage that can actually release the tension and frees the body’s subtle energies on this deepest level works wonders with emotional and physical ailments, as many emotional problems actually have physical interaction. Our cutting edge approach to therapeutic massage is one of the best remedies to treat anxiety, depression, deep seated emotional disturbances, stress and can assist in healing back pain, various injuries, repetitive strain injury, pinched nerves, sciatica, muscular spasms, aches, pain, stiffness, migraines, arthritis, scoliosis, and some forms of immobility.

Dr. Owen Hutchings, emergency room physician, Sydney, Australia

How wonderful that massage was that you gave me in the course and how much it has changed my life.

As I mentioned, since my lung collapsing and being off the pill, my cycles were around 54 days long without ovulating. I had tried all kinds of herbs but after the massage, my next cycle was exactly 28 days with ovulating and, as a result, guess what…. I’m pregnant! An absolutely wonderful surprise and byproduct of an amazing therapy. I’m 13 weeks currently and have been really well, happy and healthy since the massage.

I just thought you should know how amazing the therapy actually is and what incredible things it can change not
only mentally but physically and biologically as well. So a BIG thank you for your amazing gift of healing. Todd and I are both so grateful and happy for all of your invaluable help.

Hope you have a great day,

A Huge Inspiration!!! From my first 15 minutes on day one I knew I had made the right choice. Terry told us his personal reasons along with his experiences learning Brandon Raynor Massage Technique to teaching and travelling the world sharing such a powerful massage technique. “Wow” I remember thinking how easily I related to his previous working situation as I was coming from a financial accountants position which involved, stress, stress and more stress… to learn massage.

The 10 day Brandon Raynor Diploma course run by Terry was fun, relaxing and the experience was awesome. Terry showed such passion and love for massage which made learning the Raynor Massage Technique easy. He’s high quality teaching methods, professionalism, life experiences and his understanding of different cultural backgrounds and needless to say Raynor Massage technique made this intensive hands on course very informative and an absolute pleasure to attend. Terry’s massage skills which I experienced hands on was mind blowing and definitely made a huge impact on my whole outlook on life physically and emotionally.

I now feel I have found my purpose in life – to share the physical and emotional Healing Power of Raynor Massage.
Thank you Terry and Craig, for your caring help and support!
