‘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 have allways found staff & trainers at ACFB approachable
Delores
I felt very comfortable asking any of my trainers questions and they openly encouraged me to do so.
Jonathon
All of the staff and trainers at ACFB were approachable and open.
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
I am currently setting up my own myotherapy business and dealing with all the challenges that come with it. ACFB has given me a great framework to build upon and the necessary skills and confidence to do so.
Ian
The trainers have different teaching styles and made effort to accommodate varying student needs.
Louise
I would recommend ACFB as a good grounding to learn relaxation and remedial massage. Through ACFB there is also the opportunity to continue studying and branch out into other related fields.
Maria
I enjoyed the clinics most at ACFB particularly as they are now all supervised. The clinics helps solidify knowledge in a safe and supporting environment.
Ian
I believe as far as Remedial courses, studying at ACFB will prepare an individual to work in the field more than many other schools
Leanne
The trainers were fantastic. The information they provided was relevant and interesting. Each trainer brought with them different experiences and different knowledge that helped to compliment the course content.
Kirsty
The course was in depth and I felt like I wasnt just pushed through it like I've heard of other companies PT courses. So I'm more prepared when I'm finished my course.
Chris
When I came in to trainers to practice it was very good, trainers showed me with no problem.
Jodee
ACFB was 5 minutes from home so the location was very convenient. I spoke with Kerry and she got me very enthused about the course. The price was probably the deciding factor at the time because I got the course for half price.
Gayle
I felt comfortable approaching all trainers at ACFB for assistance.
Mel
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.
