‘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 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
Everyone was very friendly and approachable, the instructors were very knowledgeable and had a great way of teaching.
Cameron
All 3 learning styles were addressed early on in the course, recognized and accommodated for.
Alex
Each and everyone of the trainers that taught me were knowledgeable and very motivating.
Rachael
I like the location of ACFB and I really like how Andrew knew my name and greeted me each day he saw me. The student clinic is a great way to gain experience and to witness the benefit of tried techniques. All the trainers, not just my teachers are always helpful too. Neil, Peter and Bri often present as encouraging, interested and offer feedback as relevant.
Louise
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
After I got over the nerves, I really enjoyed the clinics and found I got most out of them
Samantha
I actually had ACFB recommended to me by a previous remedial massage student
Andrea
The trainers were very caring and tried their best to explain as much as they could. Especially as English was my second language, I received lots of beneficial help which made the course easier to understand.
Wen
The trainers were amazing and found them to be very approachable and open.
Sue
They make sure you walk out competent and confident before entering the workforce
Rachael
I enjoyed the course. The course was planned out great, the teachers were fantastic and the location is good
TARA
Everyone is friendly at AFCB and 9/10 there is always a teacher or someone that will direct you less than 5 steps away from the treatment rooms
Andrea
ACFB has given me a foundation of the skill set needed to be a myotherapist. The clinic hours gave me confidence in treating and tips from the trainers have also been helpful both through clinic supervision and conversations in class and at the school.
Louise
I founds ACFB via a google search and chose to study at ACFB for the location, facilities and the student clinic.
