‘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.
The Introductory to Lomi Lomi Workshop is designed for people who work in the massage industry and are interested in the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of massage and exploring alternative modalities of treatment.

What our students are saying about our Courses
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
The amount of information and tools and experience that the trainers equip us with is fantastic. I'm sure there's a lot more to be learned in the industry, but I feel I have a solid foundation to build from.
Andrea
The trainers are all fantastic. They all take the time to make sure I understand what's being learned. They always ask if I'm ok and let me know that they are available if needed. All are great people to know.
Nicolline
Questions relating to the material were invited and there was ample opportunity for group participation in class.
Gayle
the trainers were knowledgeable but some times due to the pace of the course i found it a little daunting.
Sian
I really enjoyed the fact that kerry & Kylie, were able to outline exactly what I had to do to complete the Massage Diploma course. Given that SAGE Institute went into receivership and we only received some recognition of prior learning.
Andrew
Learning new things, and getting advice and guidance from the trainers years of experience. the trainers being friendly and approachable also was good.
Chris
They encouraged great discussion in class and they always kept us on task.
Chelsea
My highlight has been being able to get jobs very easily due to my hands on skills that I have developed since studying with ACFB.

The student clinic really helps prepare students for working in the industry but in a controlled environment and i feel confident practicing my skills in the industry.

Sue
Yes I definitely will recommend the school to new students, (and already have had one enrol) because I truly believe the standards at ACFB are very high.
Nicolline
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.
