About Hoffman Massage and our massage studio in Avalon Beach
Integral Body Therapies is a family massage, yoga and health studio run by Bronson Bertschinger. Our services include Hoffmann Intuitive Massage and Bodywork, Raynor Massage, Dorn Spinal Therapy, myofascial release, cupping therapy, yin-yoga, guided relaxation and free meditation classes.
Bronson Bertschinger is 35 years old, was born in South Africa and has spent 25 years of his live on the northern beaches of Sydney. He first learned how to massage by his Grandmother Nadia Florence Hoffman, who has now passed on. She taught him a traditional style of African massage at the age of 10.
In 2004 Bronson was taught Thai Massage by Sean Stocker a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner from a school called Health Traditions. More recently Bronson was trained by Naturopath Brandon Raynor and became General Manager and head teacher of internationally renowned massage and natural therapies school Brandon Raynor's School of Natural Therapies. Yoga and meditation have been a part of Bronson's life for the last 12 years and also have a large influence on his massage treatments.
Even though Bronson is one of the world's most qualified Raynor Therapists, he works very intuitively in a unique style that is very much his own that he has named Hoffman Holistic Massage and Bodywork, in honor of his Grandmother who was the first to teach him massage and healing techniques. Bronson, and many of his clients, family and friends, feel he has a gift. Most of techniques he uses were never taught to him by anyone, they just seem to come to him and feel natural, and have given him the ability to heal in ways he never thought massage could. The massage has no system or structure. Everyone is an individual, so the massage will change from one person to the next based on what their body, mind and subtle energy needs.
"We are all very unique individuals, come in all shapes and sizes, have our own pains, problems, stresses, likes and dislikes. Therefore the treatment I do adapts to you and what your body needs that at the time. Treatments vary from deep tissue massage to very subtle energetic work, it is totally dependant on the individual."
At our Avalon Yoga and Massage Studio, we also do Yoga classes, 1 on 1 Yoga, Dorn Spinal Therapy, Bowen Therapy, Myofascial Release and both Eastern and Western Traditional Cupping Therapy.

Bronson develops his own massage and energetic healing technique Hoffman Massage, Intuitive Body work and Energetic Healing.
|
Hoffman Massage, Intuitive Bodywork and Energetic Healing
is a system of intuitive massage, bodywork and energetic healing
developed
by Bronson Bertschinger. Bronson has drawn on techniques and ideas
behind many
healing arts from all over the world, combined them and developed his
own approach of working the body. Hoffman massage draws mainly on
ancient forms of massage, bodywork and medicine that combine this very
comprehensive form of massage, bodywork and energetic healing.
Brandon Raynor was one of the main influences on the massage side of Hoffman bodywork. It set a foundation for Bronson's belief that massage can be a profound tool for healing many kinds of diseases and set him on the path to develop other aspects of bodywork that he has experienced and studied. Some of the other forms of healing that have influenced the development of Hoffman massage and energetic healing include: Myofascial Release and the Anatomy Trains, Thai Massage, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yang Mian System of Kung Fu, Hawaiian massage Lomi Lomi, Tiu Na and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurvedic Medicine, Ayurvedic Massage, Marma Therapy, Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Raynor Massage, Shiatsu, Acupressure Massage, Hilot Therapy, Cupping Therapy, Gua-Sha, Pulsing Therapy, Rolfing, Bowen Therapy, Chiropractic, Dorn Spinal Therapy, Reiki, Pranic Healing, Shamanic Healing, Medical Intuitive Healing, Reflexology, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Polarity Therapy and Feldenkrais. |
 |
Bronson has either studied, experienced or practiced all of these techniques and combined what he has learnt with what he believes the most powerful tool we have, intuition.
The aim of our Hoffman massage courses is not only to teach one of the most comprehensive forms of massage in the world, but to develop your sense of awareness and touch so that you trust in and are guided by your intuition in a grounded fashion.
