Trip through Yellowstone National Park

We had a great trip through Yellowstone on the way to Salt Lake City
We stopped at Chico Hot Springs, which were very nice. A relic of the 1920s health and healing industry.

In Yellowstone itself we saw bears , buffalo and other animals and some wonderful rivers, hot springs, geysers, mud volcanoes etc...

Rebecca has arrived back from Australia and Terry is doing admin for us back in Montana and preparing for a round the world teaching tour.

Terry's First Teaching Massage Course in Toronto

Terry went to teach his first massage course in Toronto, Canada, which was very successful.
Here is a picture from that massage course.

Here are some testimonials

Dear Terry..

Terry, thanks for a great week. The massage you gave me was definitely
amongst the best I've ever had (difficult to gauge exactly against 10-20 yr
old memories) and I felt great on Sat/Sun. In fact, my 8k run went
splendidly on Sunday even after a week of sitting in the car.
So my husband was the lucky recipient of a massage last night, and his first
comments as he got on the table were "how is this going to be different from
the relaxation massage you gave me a few wks ago?" WELL..... In less than
5 min he had his answer. (Remember how he was stranded in Chicago? He got
home at 10:30pm on Friday evening after leaving Mexico at 9am on Thursday -
talk about tight tension bands and knots!) And 2hrs later he wanted to
write the Raynor organization a thank you letter for such an effective
course (all I did was apply what I learnt).

Dear Terry

I actually had a "professional massage" today which I had booked months ago

before I even heard about the Raynor Technique. When I got up off the

table, I felt so cheated:-( Compared to Terry and the rest of you guys, she

caused very little pain. ...

I certainly didn't want to insult her and tell her

that I had had several better massages last week that were a la John Cougar

Mellancamp "It hurt so good". Helene, I have to agree with your husband it

is a big difference.

I gave my sister her massage yesterday evening and she actually enjoyed. I

figured that would be my biggest challenge (high expectations plus she's had

many massages before both good and bad).

Email of Support from Montana Senator Jerry O'Neill

Brandon Raynor,

Thanks for your message. I agree with you; we don't need to restrict the public's ability to access massage benefits. The government's job is to prevent fraud and crime.

Emails of Support from Senator Ed Butcher HD 29

Brandon:

There are several of us who believe the government should not be regulating every business. To establish a governmental regulatory agency should require demonstration of OVERWHELMING public safety concerns—we have plenty of laws on the books to address public safety and morality issues. You need to spend time discussing your concerns with the legislative members of the Business and Labor committees since these kinds of laws generally originate in those committees. You can easily find out who serves on those committees by picking up a legislative handbook at the information desk in the state capitol and begin lobbying returning members now in preparation for the 2009 legislative session.

Ed Butcher, HD 29

Massage Law Protest in Helena Montana

We protested in Helena Montana outside the State Capitol to keep the state a place where people can freely practice the massage form of their choice. We also got new signs on our RV for the next protests.

Protest in Bozeman, Montana

We did our protest about keeping Montana a state where people are free to practice massage as they see fit. We had a great response. Many people came from our ad in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle as well as passer bys for a free massage.
