Graduate Feedback
Here are some of the comments we’ve been getting from our graduates. Feel free to contact them where email addresses are available:
"The course has given me the most incredible amount of self
confidence that I have ever experienced before, for five years ago
I was told I wasn’t to live, and to meet light minded people,
it overwhelms me. Long term, I can’t wait to do some more courses."
"Makes you realise, don’t take corporate life or indeed
life too seriously, it is just not worth it! Just have a massage and
chill!"
"The students’ output in their knowledge, insights and
skill developed during the course in the performance of massage to
each other and the general public was fantastic and very impressive.
Keep up the good work done!!"
"I was extremely pleased with the training, particularly the
hands on from day one."
"I will recommend it to others!"
"The course has given me so much positive energy and confidence
in the subject. Natural High!"
10 Day Raynor Massage Diploma Course
The Diploma Course can be undertaken in one two week period, or the first 5 days of the Certificate program can be completed first, and the remaining 5 days completed some time in the future.
For the description of the first 5 days of this massage course see Massage Certificate course information.
Day Six
Day 6 of the massage diploma course will involve a role play of a
full practitioner/client interaction from taking a case history to
doing a full massage to suit the client’s needs within a certain
length of time. There will be a valuable discussion period after this
treatment where any areas that a student needs to improve will be highlighted.
This will give the student an idea of the areas that they need to focus
on in the next 4 days of the course.
Day Seven
On Day 7, the teacher will introduce the use of aromatherapy oils to the massage treatment. He/she will cover the use of 8 to 10 commonly used aromatherapy oils, how to diagnose which ones are suitable for particular clients and their contraindications. You will then explore their use during practice with both deep tissue massage and also lighter massage.
Day Eight
Day 8 of the diploma course will be the reflexology course day. We will learn the reflexology areas of the feet and the hands. You will explore the importance of the feet and hands in massage and how they affect and benefit the whole treatment. The zone theory of reflexology and the use of reflexology charts will also be discussed.
Day Nine
Day 9 of the course will
concentrate on the specific aspects of face and scalp massage and the
use of acupressure points in the head to help alleviate stress, tension,
headaches, neck problems and the relationship between releasing tension
in the head and the effect this has in helping release the emotional
tension stored in the belly and chest.
Day Ten
Day 10 of the Massage diploma course will involve any final revision necessary, as well as a 50 point assessment which will grade each student on the following qualities: empathy, communication, techniques, professionalism, correct pressure, and overall effect. The last day of the massage course we will also invite friends and families of the students to the class to get a massage from a fellow student.
The students will also be graded on their understanding of the role of the patient in 3 categories of communication, understanding the importance of breathing with a practitioner, and proper understanding and appreciation of the benefits of massage.
This course also involves between 20 and 40 hours of take-home work as well, and will involve a written test on aspects of professional practice such as hygiene, professional ethics, the meridians of acupressure, contraindications and the strategies of massage treatment covered during the course.
