Many people consider us a controversial massage school because we are able to teach people massage in such a comprehensive way in a short period of time. Many people consider us a black sheep in the industry. But let me explain to you why thousands of people around the world have chosen to learn massage with us.

Brandon Raynor is a Naturopath, trained in Australia, who has a deep understanding of many of the traditional medicines from around the world. He now holds massage courses all over the world including massage courses in the UK, in the Southern and Northern areas of London. As well as his 4 year Diploma in Naturopathy, he has Diplomas in Chinese Herbal Medicine, Shiatsu Massage Therapy from Japan and Ayurvedic Medicine from India. He has had extensive massage experience in 5 continents. With this understanding of massage and natural health from all these cultures he has formulated a massage program that enable you to learn to massage using the most essential attributes of what makes a good massage treatment from a truly holistic and global perspective. Brandon’s unique ability to take the best from the various international massage traditions and combine them into one technique makes this a very valuable opportunity to take the cream of his 20 years of experience, without having to spend a lot of money and do the 8 years of study that it took him just to get started in this field

Brandon’s style of massage does not just deal with loosening muscles in the body although this is certainly an important aspect of our approach to massage. What we also deal with, however, is in rebalancing or moving the life force which is known as chi in Chinese Medicine. The concept of chi is the basis of Chinese and Japanese Medicine and can also be seen in various variations in Thai, Tibetan and Ayurvedic medicine from India. However, unlike acupuncture, or most other styles of natural medicine, with Raynor massage we don’t limit ourselves to one tradition or concept of medicine. Hence we can use the pressure points of Chinese Medicine and shiatsu, the marma points of Ayurveda and the breathing practices of yoga combined with Western Deep Tissue and Swedish massage all in one treatment.

However, what we also do is to simplify some of the theory associated with these various systems of medicine, so that we can make our massage style be able to be learned by anyone with no previous knowledge of medical theories necessary. This is the unique gift that Brandon Raynor has brought to the world. A simple and easy to learn style of massage that is very powerful on many different levels. An acupuncturist in Dublin, recently commented after completing a massage course in Dublin with our school that he had never seen the chi in the body move in such a powerful way as he had done in our massage course. That is coming from an acupuncturist who spent 4 years studying exactly how to unblock and move the chi in the body. That tells you something about the effectiveness and power of this form of massage when done properly.

We don’t use fancy names or difficult to understand concepts to help people learn our style of massage. In our massage classes you will be pretty much either watching the teacher massaging, doing a massage yourself or receiving a massage 90% of the course time. The other 10% you will learn the contraindications to massage, professionalism, hygiene, and a small amount of theory behind what we do. This way to learn massage is like no other. There are many short massage courses around that teach a basic Swedish massage routine or long massage courses that spend hundreds of hours getting you to learn all the major names of muscles in Latin. There are even 4 year long acupuncture courses to help you learn Chinese Medicine, but where else will you find a course that teaches you all that you need to know to not just be a reasonably good massage therapist, but a course that will teach you to actually move blockages in people’s flow of their life force or chi?

Many people have said, when they have been at our course, that this isn’t just massage that we are teaching. It is a whole lot more. That is because moving the life force or chi in a person has profound benefits to that person’s health. Many emotional problems can be cured or helped enormously by unblocking the blockages in the chi flow. This is especially true of the very deep style of abdominal massage that we teach. We get very deep into people’s bellies and loosen the tension that many people hold there. This often produces very strong reactions as old emotions are accessed and are let go of. We have developed a system to learn massage in our 5 and 10 day courses that will truly amaze and inspire you. Usually people after completing our course go on to establish successful practices and many people comment after receiving a massage from our students that it is the best massage they have ever had.

We hope that you will take this opportunity to learn massage with our school and so become a positive force for healing on our planet. There is no greater career at your fingertips than in caring for and helping your fellow human beings. This is a career where you can truly go home after a day’s work and feel that you have made a big difference in someone’s life.
