‘Lomi Lomi’ means ‘to rub or to knead’ in the Hawaiian (Polynesian) language and it is a beautiful form of body work which is energetically vibrant yet deeply relaxing. It is a full body oil based massage in which the practitioner uses hands and forearms in long fluid strokes of varying intensity and rhythm up, down and around the body.
The massage has a unique flowing style, which is deep tissue in nature, working to nurture the body as well as to release tension and
relieve strain. ‘Lomi Lomi’ also balances the mind emotionally thereby providing a safe space for you to empower yourself to deal
effectively with life’s challenges.

What our students are saying about our Courses
I feel as though ACFB has provided me with a good, logical, step by step process that can guide me through all consultations whilst working within the industry, as well as a good grounding of knowledge to take into my future studies
Graham
The passion the trainers have for massage made it so much more fun, they all just have so much knowledge that they want to share with us.
Sarah
All the trainers are very knowledgeable, experienced in this field, and also very patient, and helpful.
Feng
I have had many compliments for my massage skills that I have learnt from ACFB
Amanda
The trainers were amazing Dee always helps and takes the time needed to explain anything I am unsure of
Michelle
The course material was comprehensively presented in visual, auditory and kineasthetic modes to accommodate all learning styles.
Gayle
I would definitely recommend ACFB, but I can only speak to the Distance Learning. Very in-depth course, very informative
Larry
I am so glad I chose to study here because it has exceeded all my expectations.
Mel
I thought my instructors had lots of knowledge and lots of great teaching techniques to help make everything easy to understand and retain.
Cameron
Before starting the course I had very little knowledge of anatomy and physiology and my gym experience was quite limited. I now feel that I have a good understanding of the how the body works and of how to develop basic exercise programs to best meet client's needs. I also appreciate the importance of health screening before designing any exercise program.
Gayle
I really appreciated being able to get a lot of assistance throughout the course, especially with my trainers taking time to catch me up on some techniques that weren't included in my Diploma, and especially in regards to orthopaedic testing.
Mel
Based on both my own experiences of ACFB, and information I have gained regarding the delivery content of Diploma of Fitness at other RTOs I would definitely recommend ACFB to others
Graham
I felt very comfortable asking any of my trainers questions and they openly encouraged me to do so.
Jonathon
I felt that my trainer was genuinely interested in me and in my success as a student and subsequent trainer myself and wanted to bring out the best in me.
Gayle
I really enjoyed the fact that kerry & Kylie, were able to outline exactly what I had to do to complete the Massage Diploma course. Given that SAGE Institute went into receivership and we only received some recognition of prior learning.
