‘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
They were very approachable. I was never made to feel uncomfortable for asking a question
Andrea
I found the trainers very friendly and helpful whenever i needed assistance with something they were always there and willing to help.
Cameron
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
All of the staff and trainers were happy to help with any problem or questions you have. They all were so easy to talk to and always seemed to make time for you.
Sarah
Sean, Theo and Neil were easily relatable and approachable and and had a genuine care for their students.
Jonathon
One of the key things that made ACFB enjoyable was the personal interest the trainers took in all the students, even through basic things such as learning all names despite having minimal direct involvement with them in class.
Graham
The high level of knowledge of the trainers and that the course was so thorough.
Leanne
The trainers certainly were knowledgeable and helpful. They were easy to understand and enjoyable to work with. Chiefly Bri and Theo. I loved their energy.
Charlotte
Given the vast differences in learning speed and previously attained knowledge within the class I thought they did a very good job in their efforts to accommodate all members of the class. All information was presenting in a number of ways which would cover all the different learning style types
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
Each of the trainers I have dealt with demonstrated genuine interest in students and treated us with respect.
Rachael
I actually had ACFB recommended to me by a previous remedial massage student
Andrea
I could not have asked for more knowledgeable trainers and were very easy to understand.
Sue
Theo delivered very informative sessions, having only had him in CERT IV, his approach was welcomed into expanding on learning by challenging concepts we had learned in CERT III to expand beyond what we had previously thought we had known. His information was very factual and insightful.
Alex
I chose ACFB via word of mouth. A friend had been working there and although she was no longer working there when I studied, she assured me it was one of the best.
