‘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
The high level of knowledge of the trainers and that the course was so thorough.
Leanne
I founds ACFB via a google search and chose to study at ACFB for the location, facilities and the student clinic.
Ian
All of the trainers ensure that they are available to answer any questions I needed answered. This is repeated often also in case we forget.
Nicolline
The trainers are kind, nice, patient, they are quite knowledgeable and east to understand.
Feng
The trainers were amazing and found them to be very approachable and open.
Sue
The trainers have different teaching styles and made effort to accommodate varying student needs.
Louise
I would recommend to come and learn all aspects of group and pt training as the course was very informative
Darren
All my trainers were approachable, however I always felt like Bri made me feel like she was always available to be approached with a problem or concern
Leanne
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
In depth information about referrals was a new skill I didn't really learn in my previous course- something that will be helpful in the future.
Jake
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
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 would definitely recommend ACFB, but I can only speak to the Distance Learning. Very in-depth course, very informative
Larry
I really enjoyed the relaxed, friendly and supportive atmosphere of the college and the trainers knowledge and willingness to share. I also enjoyed the feeling of camaraderie between the students (encouraged and supported by the trainers) which helped us to work together in a supportive way so that we felt comfortable with each other, which helped to bring out the best in each of us.
Gayle
The staff and trainers at ACFB have always been approachable and open and willing to help resolve any issues that may arise.
