‘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
All the trainers were very friendly and understanding. They offered more time than provided to answer questions and help us achieve more than the basics of the course. Always happy to chat about all things Fitness and other relevant topics
Alex
The trainers had a high amount of skill and knowledge about remedial and relaxation massage techniques. They were easy to understand as well as engaging in the classroom and student clinic.
Maria
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.
Jonathon
I found Marguerite to be amazingly helpful especially with all things clinic. Neil, Peter and Bri stand out as been warm, generally interested and engaging which is nice, especially when I spent so many hours writing up my clinic notes.
Louise
Learning new things, and getting advice and guidance from the trainers years of experience. the trainers being friendly and approachable also was good.

The student clinics with the constant trainer supervision was absolute gold in this preparation, I wish we had had this during Cert IV.

I have learned a lot about anatomy, postural correction and all the small things you should do when training a client ie, being at their level etc. and it has also made me think about how to run my own business.

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.

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.
