‘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 actually had ACFB recommended to me by a previous remedial massage student
Andrea
I would highly recommend other people study at ACFB as it's a great school with great trainers.
Jonathon
I found Marguerite to be amazingly helpful especially with all things clinic. Neil, Peter and Bri stand out as been warm, generally interested and engaging which is nice, especially when I spent so many hours writing up my clinic notes.
Louise
All trainers were very approachable. I did sometimes feel uncomfortable asking questions about areas I have studied in the past. In these instances I felt it better to keep quiet as it could have looked like I was criticising them (which I did not want to do)
Maria
Each of the trainers I have dealt with demonstrated genuine interest in students and treated us with respect.
Rachael
There are many reasons to study with ACFB, location, student clinic and flexible study options. The courses are changing and I trust the longer duration will be a positive for people who may find the content difficult to grasp. I am pleased I studied at ACFB, I've formed long term friendships and added a number of things to a previously empty tool box.
Louise
Each of the trainers I have dealt with effectively encouraged students to ask questions and participate with others in class.
Rachael
I would recommend this course to others. It's the best course around and whenever I go to clinics for a massage and I tell them I'm a student they all say that ACFB is the best.
Nicolline
Learning new things, and getting advice and guidance from the trainers years of experience. the trainers being friendly and approachable also was good.
Chris
Trainers were always on time and explained everything perfect for me to understand.
Jodee
i didn't do a normal diploma Massage course at ACFB , as i was a student transfer from SAGE which went into liquidation, earlier in the year. I did find both trainers extremely knowledgeable and very easy to understand.
Andrew
The trainers at ACFB very clear with delivery and have a deep knowledge of the human body. They have years of experience in the industry and the knowledge shared was invaluable to me and my career.
Chelsea
The trainers were great, i especially like how we get the opportunity to learn from an array of trainers with different ideas and backgrounds
Samantha
Extremely! They were very helpful and patient. The trainers explained well and catered for all learning types
Andrea
The trainers were very knowledgeable. If the point they were making was not at first clear they took the time to convey it on a way that was.
