‘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 very well equipped for the Massage industry with a deeper understanding of anatomy + physiology and a refined set of techniques to provide the highest standard of care for my client base.
Chelsea
My most enjoyable experience at ACFB was when I was doing clinic (hands on) I also enjoyed the quizzes not so much the assignments but I just don't enjoy doing bookwork. 🙂
Jodee
All classmates and instructors were extremely friendly which made the class always have a great atmosphere and i prefer studying face to face rather than over a computer.
Cameron
The depth of the study was amazing and thorough. I found it to be even more comprehensive than my ACE certification from the US.
Larry
I have infact recommended the course to several people. My husband has studied PT through this RTO and couldnt be happier
Jayne
I believe i now have all the tools i need to be in the workforce, i am confident with the skills ive learnt
TARA
All the trainers had all the time in the world to help you if you needed help and would go out of their way to help you when requested.
Jonathon
Each and everyone of the trainers that taught me were knowledgeable and very motivating.
Rachael
the trainers were knowledgeable but some times due to the pace of the course i found it a little daunting.
Sian
They encouraged great discussion in class and they always kept us on task.
Chelsea
Open my vision, enrich my understanding and appreciated trainer's patient to help me through on-going study of this industry
Thong
ACFB's stringent documentation with postural assessing and ROMs has greatly assisted my understanding in the deeper, physically therapeutic requirements of clients. I had always been good with connecting with people personally but to better understand their body's mechanics will prove highly effective in me presenting a professional, knowledgeable demeanour with my yoga/massage business.
Charlotte
Each of the trainers I have dealt with effectively encouraged students to ask questions and participate with others in class.
Rachael
I would recommend anyone interested in studying remedial massage therapist to study with ACFB because they are very professional and friendly
Pimchana
I enjoyed the interaction with my fellow students and trainers as we learned in a great environment.
