I completed my Certificate and Diploma courses with Dave Taylor a few years ago and the Advanced Diploma with Brandon in 2023. I found Dave to be very professional, friendly, grounded, knowledgeable and caring, with passion for teaching. He was also very supportive when I needed his help at completing Level 3 qualification. I have a background in a different and softer type of massage and the Raynor technique which is extremely effective added an amazing value to my work.

I am very pleased with the training course and Dave's teaching. From the beginning you feel at ease and the environment is welcoming, the course takes place along the river and is in a lovely location. For an absolute beginner, the course was invaluable and covered off a number of topics including some more related to the business side as well which was very useful.By the end of the course you have the knowledge you need to go forward and practice and become a successful Massage Therapist. Would recommend if this is something you are interested in!

Hands down one of the BEST learning experiences ever!!Literally, after my 1st session of Raynor massage with Dave - 3 years ago I walked out knowing I wanted to learn how to do this. The reason was that it was just different straight away and it blew me away how effective it was. I had a look online and saw that Dave himself had a training school and that was it I knew I would go and do it one day and that he would be a good teacher - honestly you can just feel it straight away. The man is a living legend. Fast forward 3 years later, I have a 2-year-old toddler and I'm thinking Ok it's time to start working towards having my own business I want flexibility and more time with my son than a regular job would give me. I went for a massage soon after and it just clicked - Raynor Massage Training - the time has come! I got myself booked in for the Devon Retreat course in Sept and honestly, it was such an amazing experience !! Chef Olliver looked after us so well with his deliciously nutritious food 3 times a day and was also truly a wonderful human being to connect with and so were all the other people I met on the course!!! We had yoga class every morning before to us ready for the day and evening dips in the hot tub to relax after a full day of learning. Dave is honestly a fantastic teacher - he thought the course so well and had us all engaged the whole time! The actual learning experience was very practical and hands-on and I know a lot of massage courses aren't like that unfortunately. It was very comprehensive and heavy on business study which I liked and truly needed! I walked out feeling confident and inspired and I'm in the process of setting up my practice at home to be welcoming my 1st client next week!Worth EVERY penny - such a good experience I'd do it all over again!!Thank you Dave

5++Raynor Massage Retreat in Devon – A Life-Changing ExperienceAttending the Raynor Massage Certificate and Diploma course at the Devon retreat in September 2024 was nothing short of extraordinary and incredible. In the stunning Devon countryside, the retreat offered a perfect blend of tranquillity and intensive learning. The peaceful surroundings created an ideal setting for personal growth and relaxation, making the entire experience feel like a true escape from the daily routine.The Raynor Massage course itself was eye-opening. I had no idea how deeply rooted tension could be until I began learning this unique method. Dave was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate. His passion for massage was contagious, and Dave went out of his way to ensure each participant understood the techniques on a deep level. I particularly appreciated how the course highlighted not just the physical aspects of massage, but also the emotional release that often accompanies it.The schedule was well-balanced, offering plenty of hands-on practice while also allowing time for reflection, connection with nature, and personal relaxation. Each day left me feeling more in tune with my body and mind, and the sense of community with fellow participants was an unexpected bonus. We enjoyed Michelin-starred meals prepared by Oliver, exchanged stories, and shared experiences, creating a retreat that felt like a collective journey of healing.By the end of the course, I felt like a new person—equipped not only with new skills but with a fresh perspective on wellness and emotional well-being. Whether you’re a seasoned therapist or a complete beginner, this retreat offers something truly special. I can’t recommend it enough!Thank you, Dave and the team ❤️

I completed Dave Taylor’s certificate course in June 2024, and what I can say with confidence is that he really creates a very strong foundation for anyone who is new to offering massage to base a practice off of. He covers everything one needs to know to set themselves up as a massage therapist in a very short timespan. This includes professionalism, business of massage, good technique, and even tips on how to make this practice sustainable for the therapist (as bodywork can be quite demanding if done inappropriately). There is lots of hands on experience, so by the end of the course I was able to perform a 1 hour full body massage with just enough confidence. I definitely recommend his training!

I recently completed the five-day certificate course with Dave at the picturesque Putney location, and it exceeded my expectations. The session was highly informative, offering a wealth of valuable knowledge and practical skills. Additionally, I had the privilege of receiving a full Raynor Massage from Dave, as well as the opportunity to practice on an external individual, who provided excellent feedback. I am eager to further enhance my expertise and skills in Raynor massage by attending the Diploma session.

I joined the Certificate course with very little expectations. Half way through the course I decided to book myself onto the Diploma Course which started immediately after the certificate course. Dave Taylor is a fantastic coach/instructor. He is professional, knowledgeable, and skillful. He is also passionate about what he does. I have finished the courses feeling inspired and empowered to offer an exceptional standard of massage and very well equipped to start my own business. In my opinion, if you are interested in deep tissue massage, this is the only course you will need.

This is the only training I could and would recommend for anyone looking to get into the field. You will walk away with *everything* you need to succeed - both from the professional, “practical”, financial perspective and from the technical perspective of confidently being able to give a great massage.Everyone is different, but I personally feel a million bucks walking away from the course, knowing that I now have a tangible, real, practical, undeniable ability to really help someone and change their life in subtle and also obvious, profound ways - by delivering a massage / bodywork session that works with the true nature of body.Everything you need and nothing you don’t. Straight to the heart of things. Practical and hands on, without skimping on any theory that is genuinely useful and necessary. Do the diploma if you can, but if all you can do is the certificate, you’ll still walk away with enough to make this your way of life (and then you can come back and top up later with the money you earn from it, as one woman joining us on the diploma course did).Dave himself is extremely friendly, professional, kind, and accomodating, and absolutely the perfect teacher of this stuff. Inspiring.Don’t worry about the shorter timeframe - it’s long enough, for sure. By the end of the course I was itching to get going, confident I had enough to help people with and charge good money for. Dave is experienced with this stuff and pre-emptively addresses all your concerns and self-doubts that you have about getting into the field. In the end, it’s straightforward and simple. Raynor is a great methodology / modality, evidenced by ITEC qualified individuals being present on the course saying they didn’t feel ready after the other stuff - and even a novice practictioner of this stuff will have an advantage over most others (and be able to provide a better quality service, to help people more).Thanks Dave, thanks a million.

Proper enlightening experience as if I wasn’t sold before, I am 100% now!!Dave has the most amazing way of teaching this massage, a balanced attitude with a relaxed, friendly manner with jokes and firmness to get you to the highest level of thinking and applying yourself.Dave has clear standards of which he expects the course to go and is not afraid to put you straight if his standards aren’t meet and I have the most upmost respect for that.The business and self worth Dave teaches you is second to none. Again teaching you to do everything at your highest level you can, truly grateful for that and him sharing his hard earned knowledge with the business side too, setting everything high and professional with the look of your business and knowing your self worth🙏What made me choose Dave’s course? Cut a long story short I thought I needed a shoulder replacement until I went to a lady called Tina who did Dave’s course a few years ago , I have tried all sorts of stuff before and nothing really worked until Raynor.I started researching and Dave was running a course in Devon in March booked after speaking with Dave and it’s was one of the best decisions of my life!Tension stored in your body for years hurts deeper than we understand, to have it released with Dave’s teachings is powerful and if you really want to help people do this course, it really works.The one and only Daisy his dog is a bundle of love and helped me not miss my dog so badly , thank you Daisy 💕The place is set in the middle of nowhere, peaceful, beautiful view with hot tub and swimming which was chilly but fun.Oliver thank you for the amazing veggie food ( I can handle a week without, with your delicious meals)Juliette for the fun morning yoga and emotional support 😊I’m a farmers daughter, private carer and love to help people, by doing Dave’s course I feel I can now do this at the highest level with his massage training to release tension, trauma and pain stored away in the body. In a safe professional place set to the high standards as well as knowing my self worth.Meet some amazing people and highly recommend this experience you won’t regret it.Thank you Dave this course changed the way I look at life 🙏

I highly recommend this Deep Tissue Massage Course. I was completely impressed with Dave's professionalism, teaching and amazing skills as a Massage Therapist. I had an amazing experience!. I am a Therapeutic Counsellor and Dave taught me how to release tension, stress, trauma and pain stored in the body by massaging it in a holistic powerful effective way. I loved Dave's ability to teach and work with students - worth all the money invested. The whole experience is amazing! An excellent perfect place too for all the learning and sharing!
